Bill Barr is a bloated idiot

'Their tactics are fascistic’: Barr slams Black Lives Matter, accuses the left of ‘tearing down the system’

Nearly two weeks after Democrats grilled Attorney General William P. Barr over the Justice Department’s crackdowns on racial justice protests, Barr on Sunday evening lashed out at the opposition party and the Black Lives Matter movement.

Speaking to Fox News host Mark Levin, Barr said liberals are intent on “tearing down the system” and called protesters’ tactics “fascistic.”

“They are a revolutionary group that is interested in some form of socialism, communism,” Barr said of Black Lives Matter. “They’re essentially Bolsheviks.”

Barr’s comments in the hour-long interview on “Life, Liberty & Levin” represent some of his harshest critiques yet of the protest movement, which he equated with antifa and compared to guerrilla warfare, and of the Democratic politicians who have accused the attorney general of subverting the Justice Department to do President Trump’s bidding.

So the most corrupt Attorney General since John Mitchell, a guy who's abandoned the independence of the office to become Trump's personal attorney is casting asparagus.

12. When he was appointed they said he had a fine reputation. What motivated him to throw all that away?

Not that it’s unusual to blackmail all manner of bigwigs via sex with minors.

He shares the same belief as Trump with regard to the Constitution being a collection of suggestions - the difference is, he's competent - which makes him extremely dangerous.

He's probably the most dangerous man in the administration because of the power he wields.

Barr is talking about fascism for somebody else when he along with Stephen Miller and others are doing their best to elevate Trump to a totalitarian dictator of the worst order. Just another smug arrogant asshole.

we've lost track of how many IGs you have had removed as per trump's orders because they were getting a little too close to the truth.

THAT is the mark of a fascist you low life...
