Former Attorney General Bill Barr said Wednesday on FNC’s “America’s Newsroom” that the fact that the FBI found former President Donald Trump’s passports with classified documents during the raid at Mar-a-Lago is evidence that “ties Trump to those documents.”
Barr said, “You don’t go into someone’s house and look document by document. You take what you think will be responsive, and then you sort it out through a taint team. No one disputes that goes back, OK? The classified stuff are government documents, and they go to the government. There is no scenario legally under which the president gets to keep the government documents classified or unclassified.”
He added, “The only things would be personal items and clearly personal stuff. The reason that was included to be seized, the issue here is not who ends up with it – the question is, could they have seized it? They could seize it and keep it if it is evidence of the way the documents, the classified documents, and the government documents were stored, so if you find very sensitive documents in Trump’s desk along with his passports, that ties Trump to those documents. The passports are things that the government — they are personal stuff to Trump. The fact they’re found with the classified documents is evidentiary. The government decides whether it’s relevant. Eventually, he will get that stuff back.”

Cheney?
The good news: Barr is 100% outing himself as a willing deep-stage stooge.
Part of Team Coverup. Just as bad as Strzok. Or worse: a bigger liar.
His task was to give false hope to Republicans, to chill them out, while dragging the Russia collusion “investigation” (sic) out with Durham to infinity and beyond.
Big talk.
Who's gonna put him there? Garland?
This horrible man. Again.
That's black letter Con Law - but ever since the Nixon landslide, the "organs" have been trying to overcome the unitary executive, to "bell the cat" if you will so they, and not the President, are the last word.
barr is dirty
he is covering his own ass here
And steal the 2020 election?
Barr is showing his RINO MONKEY ASS for ALL to see!
Who is paying off Barr?
These guys had an unconstitutional version of carte blanche. They overstretched the scope of the warrant and clearly went through the entire home. His passports could’ve been in his underwear drawer.
This is a shocker!
This Jackazz doesn’t know the LAW FROM PAGE TEN.
What a dumb idiot.
How did President Trump STAND it.
He sounds like Forrest Gump. DUH.
“Evidentiary” what a lunatic

What the hell is Barr doing out flapping his BIG FAT jaws every stinking day?? WHY in the hell does ANYONE care what this useless POS has to say!! This SCUM left the DOJ as corrupt as it was the day he walked in, I still remember Victoria Tinsing and her hubby Joe Digenova PRAISING Barr he was going to walk into the DOJ and clean house GIVE ME A DAMN BREAK!! I see Joe and Victoria on Newsmax all the time, boy are they eating a HUGE PORTION of crow!!! I had high hopes for Barr, I honestly don’t know what Trump will do for an administration if he gets back into office, where in the hell is he going to find 4-5 THOUSAND people who have NEVER set foot in DC?? Trump should NEVER have gotten rid of Bannon he was a great GATE KEEPER!! Bannon is rough around the edges HOWEVER he has NO FEAR!!!
Yeah like I got back confiscated cash minus handling fee of 30%
I hate these people
All the same
Kayfabe, anybody?
We can all see now the treason and scumbaggery of those in the trump circle
What is the implication? He’s trying to flee?
So FBI finds his passports in a safe, next opens some boxes with classified info, places passports on top. Oh right.
Where’s the proof they were originally in the same box with the classified docs?
Did they record the entire raid?
Barr doesn’t seem too upset that 40 years of medical records were seized along with tax documents and attorney client privilege records.
That would be "abuse" only if Trump has the power to declassify in the manner he asserts. "...not really knowing what was in them..." is speculation.
