Whoops.
During an interview with Fox News host Bret Baier, Attorney General Bill Barr defended the federal police’s aggressive tactics against peaceful protesters near the White House on Monday June 1, the day of Trump’s infamous photo-op.
Barr contradicts Trump’s claim that Secret Service only wanted POTUS to go to the bunker for inspection.
Oops…
Another unforced error, but, in Barr’s defense it must be hard to keep track of all of the lies. Also, if Barr does actually have any kind of moral compass, he might not want to add another lie to all of the other depravities that he has committed in the service of this Anti-Christ of a man. (Sorry about causing you to spit coffee all over your computer with the suggestion that Barr has a moral compass.)
As Judge Judy says, “If you tell the truth, you don’t need a good memory”. Also, “Don’t piss on my leg and tell me it’s raining”…
Barr have a “moral compass?” Naw! He’s as big a liar as Trump, smarter but equally depraved.
Meh. Both could be correct. The Secret Service just could have told ManBaby it was for an inspection. Maybe he was on the verge of calling in artillery support and they just had to get him somewhere else fast.
Don’t think this is an unforced error.
I think Barr realizes he’s now in a game of four-dimensional chess of future legal liability for his role in clearing out the protestors, so he’s desperately trying to get a “motive” pawn on the board.
He’ll trade 5 more months of the Orange Dipshit yelling at him for this for the 5 year sentence he’s now worried about.
Maybe they were trying to scare him into resigning.
The Washington Post has a really good video laying out the events prior to the Perp’s President’s walk to the photo op.
It combines maps, video, and police communications with commentary to lay out just how coordinated the offensive push against the protestors was with the walk.
Sorry, Barr, but the glove fits. Perfectly.
Clearly, the politically smart move would be to STFU and let #BunkerBoy die. I can’t decide whether low Barr is desperately trying to salvage his reputation, a la Mattis and Kelley, or committing yet another unforced error in the service of Rump’s vanity.
I guess that happens sometime mid-August if his numbers keep dropping. But the push comes from Mitch who’s not gonna risk the Senate over Trump. I assume they need to get Pelosi onboard with some agreement not to investigate as well.
In the matter of Fatso II v. Fatso I, the court is now in session.
Except that’s the exact opposite of what Trump claimed
Whoa whoa…whoa. You’re not suggesting the President just made this shit up on the fly, are you? What gives you the belief our President would just make shit up?
This oughta show us who is really in charge in this administration.
Such a contradiction by anyone in this administration should result in immediate dismissal.
I guarantee you, Barr will still be here at the end of the day, the week, the month, the administration.
She’s did that with the W administration in the interest of ‘comity’. She’s not gonna fall for that again.
The biggest lie:
[Barr] claimed the administration was “reacting to three days of extremely violent demonstrations right across from the White House.”
There were no “extremely violent” demonstrations.
Words are supposed to have meaning, and Barr is not a fool.
Trump lied about the bunker because his ego is fragile, and Barr lied about the protests because his boss is racist.
I never saw that coming.
Quick Fatman! To the Twittermobile!
There are dozens of videos that dispute Barr’s claims of anything. But hey, you can’t trust you’re lying eyes.
The attorney general has insisted that the White House crowd was violent before he ordered an aggressive clearing of the area where Trump staged a photo-op.
A member of the National Guard directly informed Attorney General William Barr that anti-racist protesters were peaceful as Barr launched a violent police action against them before President Donald Trump walked to a church to pose with a Bible for a photo-op, Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.) said Monday.
The “eyewitness” account provided to Norton from the officer who was on duty that day contradicts Barr’s insistence in a CBS News interview Sunday that the protesters “were not peaceful,” and that their actions warranted a law enforcement onslaught.
Protesters were charged, struck with batons and shields and rubber bullets, manhandled, and tear-gassed June 1 to make way for Trump to walk across the street from the White House so he could hold aloft a Bible in front of St. John’s Episcopal Church.
“The D.C. National Guard member spoke to Attorney General Barr, who was in charge, and explained that the crowd was peaceful — but troops from federal agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Prisons, remained,” said a statement Sunday from the delegate’s office.
