In a sprawling new profile in New York Magazine, Attorney General Bill Barr weighed in on his relationship with President Trump, on the role politics plays in prosecutions, and the criticism of how he’s handling an investigation into the 2016 Trump-Russia probe.
“Right from the very beginning,” Barr told New York Magazine, “the president made clear to me, and we discussed, that he will not get into the business of talking about, or asking me, either to pursue, or not to pursue, cases. He leaves that up to my judgment.”
Well what is needed is a good criminal investigation of the investigators of the investigators come January 2021. Full press by the FBI and DOJ of any misuse of public money as well as the roots of the investigators or the investigators. And no pleas should be taken - everyone should be tried before a jury of their peers in Washington DC…
Nothing but contempt for this pompous, rotund bastard. I have some in-laws who are members of the Opus Dei cult. They are always 100% certain and about 10% right. They have all the answers.
“That’s all bullshit,” Barr told New York Magazine, when asked about the skepticism raised by his trips abroad to seek cooperation from foreign countries in the investigation, which is ostensibly being led by U.S. Attorney John Durham.
Well, then, I’m sure you must have an easy explanation, huh, Droopy? Please proceed.
“Right from the very beginning,” Barr told New York Magazine, “the president made clear to me, and we discussed, that he will not get into the business of talking about, or asking me, either to pursue, or not to pursue, cases. He leaves that up to my judgment.”
“The President then returned to the topic of Mike Flynn, saying, ‘He is a good guy and has been through a lot.’ He repeated that Flynn hadn’t done anything wrong on his calls with the Russians, but had misled the Vice President. He then said, ‘I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go. He is a good guy. I hope you can let this go’.”
