Barr: US Legal System Is ‘Rigged Against Republicans’​

Former Attorney General William Barr called the Russiagate “a dirty political trick” against former President Donald Trump and criticized the justice system as “rigged” to target Republicans.

“I thought we were heading into a constitutional crisis,” Barr told conservative talk radio host Glenn Beck in a recent episode, after being asked about his return to politics between 2019 and 2020. Barr then brought up the Russia probe against Donald Trump, the second president he served as the attorney general after George H.W. Bush.

“Whatever you think of Trump,” he explained, “the fact is that the whole Russiagate thing was a grave injustice. It appears to be a dirty political trick that was used first to hobble him and then potentially to drive him from office.”

He said he believes Hillary Clinton’s Russiagate scandal was “seditious,” referencing the scheme that began in early 2016 to vilify Trump as an agent of the Kremlin.

Such remarks, however, were soon followed by the acquittal of Michael Sussmann as a jury on May 31 found him not guilty of lying to the FBI. Prosecutors accused the former Clinton campaign cybersecurity lawyer of not disclosing who he worked for to a top FBI official ahead of the 2016 election.

Barr, who I knew before he was anybody, was full of shit then and he continues to be full of shit.

 

[ll74]

No it's not.

I guess someone who mischaracterizes the Mueller report as bad as he did probably would think that way publicly, though

 

[pecksniff]

Most of the federal bench including the SCOTUS was appointed by Republicans.

 

[AlexBailey]

Truth, facts, and public opinion are rigged against Republicans.

 

[icanhelp1]

The Mueller report was bad.

 

[pecksniff]

The Mueller report was bad.

Not even you believe that.

 

[ll74]

The Mueller report was bad.

What does that qualification even mean?

 

[pecksniff]

This is the same Barr who in 1992 wrote The Case for More Incarceration. That was wronger than wrong even then. It is the same Barr who in 2020 personally ordered that the protesters around LaFayette Square should be cleared by force so Trump could stage a photo op at St. John's Church. It is the same Barr who sowed lies about the 2020 election.

The Whitewater probe was dirty politics. The Benghazi probe was dirty politics. Barr is a whiner.

BTW, Rightguide, you should be ashamed even of reading The Epoch Times.

Why is there a double standard? Brennan, Comey, and all their cronies should be in jail. No ifs. ands, or buts.


Now you know how Venezuela collapsed.

 

[colddiesel]

The Mueller report was bad.

Has anyone ever seen an uncensored version of Mueller's report - before Barr got his red ink pen out?

 

[UltraMAGAKing]

Truth, facts, and public opinion are rigged against Republicans.

Then why is it Democrats insisting men can get pregnant and women have penises???

Wooooopsie....

What is Comey's crime?

 

[pecksniff]

The U.S. legal system is rigged against the lower classes, who are not always Republicans.

 

[Sugar Baby Wanted]

What is Comey's crime?

Sedition, lying, over reach, scumbag.

 

[jomar]

Billy Barr, pretty much only good for entertainment value these days. Like his failed redemption tour promoting his book.

 

[pecksniff]

Sedition, lying, over reach, scumbag.

He is not guilty of any of those things.

 

[phrodeau]

What is Comey's crime?

Over 6', over 6" and over 6 figures?

This is Barr:

(Reuters) - U.S. Attorney General William Barr mounted a partisan attack on the Democratic Party in an interview that aired Sunday, claiming the left believes in “tearing down the system” and pursues absolute victory as “a substitute for religion.”

Barr also told a Fox News TV host he was worried that an increase in mail-in voting could lead to a contested presidential election in November, sounding in on an issue often raised by U.S. President Donald Trump.

In an interview with conservative pundit Mark Levin, Barr said Democrats had pulled away from classic liberal values and now were akin to the “Rousseauian Revolutionary Party” aimed at destroying the institutions upon which the country was built.

“They’re not interested in compromise, they’re not interested in dialectic exchange of views. They’re interested in total victory,” Barr said of the left. “It’s a secular religion. It’s a substitute for a religion.”

That's some damned heavy projection right there. In religious terms, Barr is the motherfucking Antichrist.

What is Comey's crime?

Well, there's the biggy of putting his thumb on the presidential election scale late enough that it may have flipped the result. He announced a probe of Clinton in the 11th hour of an election, which he had to withdraw and which was contrary to DOJ policy at that time of the election cycle, while failing to note that there was an actual ongoing investigation of Trump. He is guilty, as a Republican, of partisan interfering with a federal election in favor of the Republicans--and quite possibility of having set in motion our last five years of the Republicans trying to engineer the death of the American majority-rule political system by coup from the top.

Legally, though, he unlawfully released classified information through a colleague (showing that he knew he was doing something illegal) and should have been prosecuted for that clear crime (even though I'm glad the information got out). He was at the top of the chain of prosecuting such actions and he did it himself.

Somehow, I don't think any of that was what Domncoast had in mind.

Neither do I, but Comey isn't an innocent lamb in any of this.

Now you know how Venezuela collapsed.

Actually, that was a matter of falling oil prices.
