Randy Rainbow's latest video takes on Attorney General William Barr's interpretation of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report, which Barr sees as exonerating Donald Trump of any wrongdoing -- but the report actually doesn't.

"Little clown crying 'no collusion,'" Rainbow sings in "Barr!" set to the tune of "Belle" from Beauty and the Beast. He goes on to lampoon other Trump apologists, such as Kellyanne Conway, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Rudy Giuliani, and Mitch McConnell, at one point memorably saying, "Mitch, please." Rainbow also calls Barr "Roseanne" several times.

"Now, it's no wonder Donald crapped his diaper the day he heard they hired Bob," Rainbow sings. "Because he really did obstruct, he said, 'Oh, my God, I'm fucked,' then he called Bill Barr and offered him the job."

For the record, the Mueller report concluded that Trump's presidential campaign staff did not conspire with Russian operatives to affect the 2016 election, but the campaign did welcome the Russians' help. It also leaves open the question of whether Trump and his administration obstructed justice as Mueller's team investigated. Congress is looking into that.
