Bill Barr appeared on Fox News today and what he had to say is already trending on Twitter. The whole interview doesn’t appear to be on YouTube yet but Justin Baragona from the Daily Beast has posted it in segments on Twitter.
First up, Barr was asked about the pending decision to appoint a special master to review the seized documents. Barr did allow that any private communications between Trump and his attorney need to be sorted out but said he mostly saw it as a “red herring” since it appears the documents have already been reviewed by the DOJ.
The next question was more basic. John Roberts asked, “Is there any legitimate reason for those materials to be in the former president’s possession?” Barr replied, “No. I can’t think of a legitimate reason why they should have been, could be taken away from the government if they’re classified.” Barr was added that he was skeptical of the claim that Trump declassified everything and added that if he did so without considering the individual documents that would be reckless.

F you Barr you Never Trumper asswipe.
Levin is tearing the weakling coward a new asshole right now
Mr Barr, where were you when the Special Counsel was appointed based on lies? Where were you when Russia Collusion was being shouted from the rooftops? Where were you when classified information was being leaked to generate TWO Impeachments?
Your statement reveals what a traitorous, lying backstabber you are.
Dear Mr. Barr. You are a moron, like most in government. Most of us have very little respect for any of you, although most of you think you are the cream of the crop. That’s actually light years from the truth, but you are way too arrogant to see the truth.
You’ve accomplished very little of substance in your life, irrespective of the inappropriate stature afforded those associated with federal office. You and your ilk hate Trump because he exposed how incompetent and feckless the average person in government is. You should take a very hard long look in the mirror, and do a genuine and honest self-assessment.
He doesn’t know what Trump has or doesn’t have but is willing to express an opinion regardless. Too bad he didn’t do the same with Joe and Hunter before the election.
Trump needed and needs documents to defend against possible political attacks.
Barr played a critical role in Crossfire Hurricane and is just as concerned as anyone that President Trump had related documents that would help expose him.
I find it humorous that Barr asks why Trump had the documents by questioning Trump’s need to know to have those documents when Barr doesn’t have the need to know why Trump had them and apparently never did since he is now, after the fact, asking.
So Barr is questioning the purpose and pattern of the US security system we use when in this case it is none of his business. So I guess the next question from Trump is why are you asking as it doesn’t pertain to you. You don’t have the clearance or the need to know. Go away.

How about if Trump’s elected we take away his ability to pick attorney generals?
‘Cause he apparently sucks at it…
Trump gave orders that sent US military personnel into combat.
The information needed to guide the military to their targets was classified.
Once the attack is over, target locations are no longer a secret.
Would Trump want to save information regarding troop safety in Afghanistan?
Why, yes!
In information on certain terrorists would be secret information back in 2017.
They are now dead and buried.
They were/are not classified. He was the ultimate classifier/declassifier. He declassified them. He said he was going to do that before he left office. The papers FBI was looking for are likely anything that shows the FBI as the political actor for the Left that manufactured the Russiarussiarussia “investigation.”
WHAT effin’ classified docs?
You say they’re classified so we can’t see them.
How convenient!
Another bad actor.
He should go the apprentice route, making them acting whatevers.
The federal government commonly uses probationary and one-year employment.
We can be told the dates.
Trump was stabbed in the back, repeatedly.
This fat POS was just another gift from the Bush family.
He’s stupider than a rock.
Saw something today where he said something about taking class documents home if you are leaving the presidency.
Guess he forgot about Ears doing that, eh?
1) Bill Barr has no idea what documents Trump had. What he has, like the media, is the FBI’s characterization as to what those documents are.
2) Bill Barr has nothing to do with classifying or declassifying documents. Thus, he has no actual knowledge of what he was interviewed about today. What he has is speculation.
In short, Bill Barr is using his position as ex-USAG to give himself the imprimatur of knowledgeable authority.
