BARR CLAIMS TRUMP ADMINISTRATION ISN’T ‘LAWLESS’ BECAUSE THE TRAVEL BAN WAS UPHELD BY SUPREME COURT
Newsweek ^ | 22-05-19 | ALEXANDRA HUTZLER

Posted on 05/22/2019 2:43:49 PM PDT by Steve1999

Attorney General William Barr defended President Donald Trump from allegations that his administration has acted illegally, arguing that the Supreme Court’s 2018 ruling upholding the president’s travel ban is proof the White House isn’t “lawless.” Barr addressed a group of legal professionals on Tuesday evening as he delivered remarks to the American Law Institute at their annual dinner. During his speech, he slammed nationwide injunctions and took a moment to voice his support for the Trump administration. The attorney general noted that since Trump took office, federal district courts have issued nearly 40 nationwide injunctions against the executive branch. During the first two years of Barack Obama’s presidency, the courts only issued two injunctions, and both were later dismissed.

Trump is “Lawless” is definitely the coordinated talking point of the week. I first saw this on Sunday Morning, on Daily Kos, and by evening, was seeing it everywhere.

The anarchists, revolutionaries and useful idiots tagging the pres as lawless. It’s so demented you could make a comic book.

I assume you mean the 2 out of 3 groups guilty of treason against the UnitedStates.

Why doesn't Mueller want to testify. Here's my guess.

That statement at the end about obstruction and Trump not being vindicated....was demanded by the Dem attorneys working under Mueller and against Mueller's grain.

It explains some of tose attorneys protesting as soon as the report was put out....AND.....Barr's ability to see through their "Plan".

He'll never testify...at least on that point.

Every time I see a statement from Barr I wonder what blackmail was held over Sessions head.

In Obamas first term, his administration was slapped down 13 times by a unanimous SCOTUS (some were cases filed under Bush, but Obama continued to defend them)

so far, Trump has yet to lose a single time

No blackmail. He’s just a typical nutless old Senator who wouldn’t do anything to offend his “friends across the aisle”.

It’s a shame that our society is so stupid and brainwashed that the Attorney General has to make a statement on something so obvious.

#FakeNews rots brains!

No blackmail.

I wouldn't be so sure of that. Sessions was under investigation by Mueller so there might be something he didn't want exposed.

What about the many trips Obama took bringing along hundreds of campaign donors to Europe and Asia as a reward. Who’s trip was at federal expense ?

Yep. Last week's Distributed Word from the Left was "grotesque." The Dem loon who screamed at a little old lady praying outside of Planned Parenthood said her activities were "grotesque." When Trump pardoned a wrongly accusedand imprisoned soldier, Hillary said it was "grotesque." Who ever heard such inappropriate uses for that word? They don't even know what the Distributed Words mean; they just repeat them s ordered by their globalist handlers.
