Go back to whatever rock you crawled from under, Barr. You were the one who quashed the Iran-Contra investigation. You also were the one quashed the Mueller Report:

‘On Wednesday, the government released the 2019 DOJ memo Barr used as justification for not charging Trump with obstructing the Mueller investigation, despite the fact that the special counsel found numerous instances of obstruction by Trump that could have resulted in him being charged with a crime, from firing FBI director James Comey and telling a White House lawyer to fire Robert Mueller to warning witnesses not to flip.

TFG and Bill Barr were part of the horrific 2020 response to COVID, he supported protestors removed and the gassed for the Biblical photo op. He looked away from all of TFG’s wrongdoings, despite saying he felt embarrassed (sure he did, he supplanted Lindsey as top lapdog).

He even said this in a new article.

"But I think at the end of the day, there's another question, [which] is do you indict a former president? What will that do to the country, what kind of precedent will that set, will the people really understand that this is not, you know, failing to return a library book, that this was serious," Barr said.

———Snip

Go away. If there’s evidence supporting an indictment, you do it to show nobody’s above the law or the rule of law will continue to be made a mockery of.

If you were Attorney General for TFG right now and he sold our nuclear secrets, you’d bury that investigation so fast.

He was the worst AG in my lifetime, maybe of all time.

Memo to the news networks, stop booking this cretin and giving him a platform. Him enabling TFG helped us get to this point.

1. I look at it this way....

We can expose tRump for his crimes and abuses even using Barr...it sure helps us for the midterms...keeps tRump toxic for them and Barr is republican....

[EnergizedLib]

2. And we need Barr to do that why?

As far as am I’m concerned, arrest trump, put him on trial and put Barr on the stand to testify against him and let him talk about any other crimes committed in office.

Many who vote who have decided no quantity or quality of evidence is sufficient, too.

[Demsrule86]

24. It helps to have Barr raise the issue as he is known as a GOP loyalist...the enemy of my enemy

is my friend. A more interesting question is why do you care? Personally, I enjoy hearing Trump called out period.

[FarPoint]

27. Exactly what I am thinking!

[EnergizedLib]

28. Why do I care?

It’s hard to take seriously somebody who made a mockery of the justice for two years now advocate for it against the monster he enabled.

[Demsrule86]

30. He is hurting Trump and will likely cause others to turn on Trump...he is going after Trump and

causing damage in a way that we can't. I don't understand why that bothers you. I want to get Trump in the end...if we have help from Satan himself, well I can live with that.

[EnergizedLib]

32. As I said earlier

If Barr was AG right now and trump was in the White House right now and the latter was selling our secrets in the White House at this very moment, you know quite well who would be covering it up.

He’s making a case against somebody who doesn’t think should be indicted, even with the evidence.

[Bev54]

12. Why do we need to hear Barr say, that in spite of the secrets and the seeriousness

of National Security, he doesn't want to see Trump indicted because he is a former president?? Is it because it will make his crimes during the administration will be highlighted in history as well. Had enough of that guy when he was covering for Trump in office, no need to hear anymore. He is not helping anything.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

3. I'd be saying what you are if Barr were arguing the opposite way

But since he's not, I'm in the 'we should take all the help we can get' camp.

MHO

I'm a pragmatist about pretty much everything, for the record.

[EnergizedLib]

4. But how did we get here?

Barr let him get away with every single thing under the sun in 2019 and 2020.

A lack of accountability got us to this point.

A lack of accountability here could bring about even worse, especially for 2024. If we thought the first four years were bad (massive understatement), just think of he’ll try to pull or succeed in doing because he’ll feel emboldened and enabled further.

And Barr helped make it all happen.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

5. Be that as it may, I'm a pragmatist ...

I don't want Barr to STFU just because he's said/done things that annoyed me greatly in the past ... when he's helping the side of 'right' ... now.

I feel similarly about Kristol, Rick Wilson, Michael Cohen, and (sometimes) David Brooks, just to name a few.

The fact that Barr DID basically do what you said before in 2019-2020 only adds gravitas to what he's saying now, which is what I want to hear from him.

Not gonna complain. It's not going to totally redeem him in my mind, but as far as going out there and saying this, esp. on Faux?

I'll take what I can get

[empedocles]

10. Pragmatists, get past argments, and tend to get things done. Good.

[Kaleva]

21. People not showing up to vote in '16 got us here

If Hillary had gotten the same number of votes Biden did, Trump would be a non factor.

[Demsrule86]

25. You are not making sense...Barr is calling Trump out. And has said there is enough evidence to

convict him.

[EnergizedLib]

29. He also said

That he shouldn’t be indicted or charged, even with the evidence.

[Demsrule86]

31. Today he said he will be indicted. I saw a clip from Fox...

[EnergizedLib]

33. I hope so

But I’ve gotten used to the point that holding the rich and powerful legally accountable in this country is similar to the gun issue. It’s outrageous what happens, but there’s no point in hoping or pining for any significant change because it seems nothing ever does change.

[doc03]

6. Barr is on a reputation rehabilitation tour. He is

still a disgusting toad.

[BlueIdaho]

7. THIS X 1000

But it’s too late… He sold his soul to TFG and he will forever carry the shame of his toady ass licking as the AG.

[allegorical oracle]

8. Barr is sounding like he's on a revenge tour. If he hadn't been yelled at when he quit? fired? he

probably would be piping a different tune.

[Scrivener7]

9. I hate him for all the reasons you list. But I think those are the very things that will

make some republiQans listen to him.

We need it from whatever quarter we can get it.

[emulatorloo]

13. Agreed. Some Republicans will listen to him, and he pisses off MAGAs.

We need those Republicans to vote with us in 2022.

[Frasier Balzov]

11. Barr is helping. Cumulus/Westwood One is who needs to be turned off.

[emulatorloo]

14. Indeed.

Some Du’ers apparently don’t have a strategic bone in their bodies.

[Demsrule86]

26. I know right?

[Emile]

15. Barr would let Trump go and not prosecute him. I

wonder how he would feel if Obama or Biden did the same as Trump, would he prosecute them?

[emulatorloo]

18. But Barr is currently making the case AGAINST Trump for stealing classified documents.

His statements these days are in support of Trump being prosecuted by the DOJ.

I don’t like him either, but right now he is an asset.

[Emile]

20. He said today on Fox he wouldn't prosecute Trump.

[emulatorloo]

22. I still don't believe you are thinking strategically. But that's absolutely your right.

16. You're cutting off your nose to spite your face.

I hate Barr too, but at this point he is helping make the serious case against Trump.

That he is a Republican and worked for Trump gives him credibility with other Republicans.

At this point he is an asset and and ally of the Department of Justice.

[Kaleva]

17. You wouldn't if you'd stay away from cable news

& refrain from posting about him here.

[emulatorloo]

19. Well said.
