Former AG Barr says he wouldn't have prosecuted Trump for Jan. 6 or taking classified documents

Former Attorney General William Barr said he believes former President Donald Trump is morally responsible for the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol but isn't legally culpable.

Asked by NBC News' Lester Holt whether he considered Trump "responsible" for the violence at the Capitol, Barr said: "I do think he was responsible in the broad sense of that word, in that it appears that part of the plan was to send this group up to the Hill. I think the whole idea was to intimidate Congress. And I think that that was wrong."

But, he added, he hasn't seen evidence that Trump committed an actual crime. "I haven't seen anything to say he was legally responsible for it in terms of incitement," Barr said.

Holt interviewed Barr for a prime-time special airing Sunday at 9 p.m. ET on NBC. It's Barr's first television interview since he stepped down as attorney general in December 2020 following a tumultuous 22 months as the country's top law enforcement official.

In other words you're a worthless piece of shit.

[Skittles]

1. well of course not

he was brought on board to enable Trump, not hold him accountable

[bottomofthehill]

19. Fucking shill

He would never prosecute his mark. They are all fucked now as the golden goose is shitting all over the stage instead of laying golden eggs.

Grifters got to grift. First Epstein then Trump, the fat bastard has no one left to grift off of.

[dweller]

2. Worthless toad

y


✌🏻

[BaronChocula]

3. This is breaking news?

Is it even news?

[dem4decades]

4. Still running interference for Trump. There's a reason he was the worst AG ever. Now, Garland

step up and don't take your marching orders from Barr.

[lagomorph777]

28. Garland better not be copying Flintstone.

[dem4decades]

31. So far the seem to have the same idea. Mueller too, maybe there's another

DOJ memo saying you can't indict a non sitting president too.

[lagomorph777]

39. I'm gonna write a memo saying you can't indict me, then go commit a bunch of crimes.

See how that goes.

[dem4decades]

40. Along with the "unwritten rule" for Trump and his kids that if you were ignorant of the law you

can't be prosecuted. How quaint, rich people's laws.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

5. Barr wants to have your cake and eat it too

"orange man bad but not bad enough to punish"?

[Mr. Sparkle]

6. He wouldn't have prosecuted Trump for the Muller report either.

[MacKasey]

7. The unredacted full Mueller report must be released NOW!

[lonely bird]

8. Why is anybody talking to that asshole?

[dhol82]

9. What a jackass!

The man is lost to moral decency.

[LonePirate]

10. Garland doesn't seem to be interested in doing that either.

[durablend]

11. Was just about to say that

[RKP5637]

12. Something how all the "EX's" think they're still relevant in the big picture, but hey, Books make $$

[House of Roberts]

14. Barr is so much a partisan Fascist he was brought in

to replace Jeff Sessions, who wasn't enough of an ass kisser to please Putin's ass kisser.

[Thomas Hurt]

15. Just toeing the establishment line, just like Bragg ending the criminal grand jury in NYC.

No one wants to indict or try a former President.

[stopdiggin]

16. this seems to be no departure at all from previous

positions taken by Barr. (and, in fact, perhaps less extreme than some of the unitary executive legal theory that he and others have promoted)

[patphil]

17. Barr always supported the concept of an Imperial Presidency.

I doubt if he would ever prosecute a sitting Republican President for any reason.

[Vogon_Glory]

18. Yeah, I bet Barr would have let Donnie off the hook BUT

had it been President Hillary Clinton or President Obama who’d accidentally misplaced a file folder, he’d be howling for prosecution and the full weight of the law.

TFG’s Post Presidency: Treason is still prospering.

[TeamProg]

20. Yeah, well WE ALL KNOW HE IS NO PATRIOT! He IS however full of human excrement. n/t

[lastlib]

27. *HUMAN* excrement??

I regard him as a truckload of diarrheic rhinoceros-shit.

[dalton99a]

21. Just another Putin whore

“The threat posed by Russia has changed dramatically since the fall of the Soviet Union.”

[turbinetree]

22. Must be a Federalist Society member thing....

they even have member's trying to over throw a government....so this does not surprise me.....and now this jerk is out trying to sell his book and NBC gave him a platform.....didn't watch but did Holt ask him if he see's any thing similar to what he did in the past to the current state of affairs, after all he did give trump a pass when he came out with his fucking take of the Mueller investigation and now a country is being invaded....... just total lack of principles....

[LiberalFighter]

23. Of course he would say that. Crooks do.

[PufPuf23]

24. Barr is certainly confident that he will pay no personal cost

for a career to "fix" for the powerful and the cost of the vast majority.

Barr's job was to protect the people, to secure justice, and to adhere to laws and the Constitution and BORs.

Barr failed and appears unconscious of his failures.

[Joinfortmill]

25. Fuck Bill Barr

[AverageOldGuy]

26. Barr's relationship with the truth . . .

. . . is about the same as Trump's.

[canetoad]

29. Sad, Bill Barr

Trying to backstep and justify his claims of Presidential untouchability.

[mvd]

30. Still covering for TFG I see

Once a weasel, always a weasel

[BlueIdaho]

32. Bill Barr should keep his fucking mouth shut.

He should be prosecuted for his abuse of office and his conspiracy with TFG. I don’t give a shit what that son of a bitch thinks or says.

[ificandream]

33. Ridiculous, Barr. How can you not be responsible if you incite a crowd to riot?

I think he's trying a little too hard to straddle the middle to keep balance between Trumpheads and the rest of the world. But it's not working, Billy Boy.

[SuperCoder]

34. Of course he wouldn't

He's a dirtbag. Made from the same cloth.

Prosecute them all.

Let's get some real prosecutors with balls of steel in New York to replace the ones who abandoned their post.

[Mr. Ected]

35. Former AG Barr says he would have prosecuted Hillary Clinton for any old shit

But would never ever ever ever ever ever ever touch a Republican politician for any crime imaginable, even if the evidence was incontrovertible.

Because he's not an attorney for the people, he is an attorney for HIS people.

[Paladin]

36. Tell us something we DON'T know, shithead. (nt)

[Ray Bruns]

37. They have been showing excerpts from the interview on NBC Nightly News.

I don't think I have ever screamed so much at the TV in my life. Lying sack of crap.

There was no way I was going to watch this fat piece of Sh!t sit there for an hour and cover his ass.

[PaulRevere08]

38. He's still providing cover for TFG and his actions as AG. So tired of waiting to make sure there is

an airtight case before going after the ex traitor in chief. Just put everything out there for the public to see, have a constant wave of damning documents so anyone on the fence can see how close we came to the death of our democracy. Time is getting short.

[tonekat]

41. Another Grifter trying to make some $$

Barr doesn't have the nerve to condemn trump, and produced a book that can be called "dithering" at best.
