Excuuuuuuuuuse me???!


Where does he get off?  Bill Barr jerked the entire country around.
Barr spoke directly to Republican outcries about the nature of the “unprecedented” search of a former president, offering a counterpoint: “It’s also unprecedented for a president to take all this classified information and put them in a country club.”

“And how long is the government going to try to get that back? They jaw bone for a year. They were deceived on the voluntary actions taken. They then went and got a subpoena. They were deceived on that, they feel, and the facts are starting to show that they were being jerked around. And so how long, you know, how long do they wait?” Barr said in an interview on Fox News.

How long do we wait for Barr to be held accountable for his shit?
Barr called the “whole idea of a special master a bit of a red herring” and a “waste of time.” He said the only documents his legal team may want to insulate the government from are those related to his “private lawyer communications, him as an individual and his outside lawyers.” He added that there doesn’t “appear to be much of this material.”

“What people are missing — all the other documents taken, even if they claim to be executive privilege, either belong to the government because they are government records. Even if they are classified, even if they are subject to executive privilege, they still belong to the government and go to the archives. And any other documents that were seized, like news clippings and other things in the boxes containing the classified information, those were seizeable under the warrant because they show the conditions under which the classified information was being held.”

The Department of Justice, to have escalated the investigation to this point, “probably has pretty good evidence” of obstruction, Barr added.
Obstruction of justice is Barr's middle name!
“Given the fact it’s a former president, given the state of the nation, and given the fact the government has gotten its documents back, does it really make sense to bring a case as a matter of prudential judgment? And that’s a question I think will turn on how clear the evidence of obstruction or deceit is."
Jesus Tapdancing Christ, asshole. Look in the mirror.
 
Prudential judgment? Deceit? Did he not get the memo? I mean the release of HIS OWN memo obstructing justice and deceiving the public, protecting Trump at a time when he could have been stopped with an impeachment conviction.

Bill Barr should be silently contemplating his part in the disaster and danger that Trump free in the world represents. Perhaps in a cell in a federal penitentiary. Why is any news outlook giving him a platform?

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

UPDATE:


And, right on cue...
