Former Attorney General Bill Barr said Thursday on “CBS Evening News” he believed former President Donald Trump “had no business” keeping classified documents at his Florida home.
Barr said, “I’ve said all along of the cases out there right now the one I would be most concerned about if I were the former president is the Mar-a-Lago document case.”
Senior investigative correspondent Catherine Herridge asked, “Why so?”

Barr should have focused on his own business, like indicting Hillary and the various FBI folks, but he failed to do his job.
Blow it out your bagpipes, Jabba!
Barr is the perfect representation of life in America today: it’s the government class against the people. They get wealthy from position and despise the peasants they steal it from.
Personally, I’d have preferred Trump stored them by shoving them up Barr’s fat a$$. There’s still time…
I knew a guy once, named Smitty. Smitty was several french fries short of a happy meal. He used to blurt out stuff like this, too. Did anyone ask Barr his opinion? Did he just blurt it out, almost like a nervous tic? Or is he feeling a little heat from stuff in the recent Durham Report, so he had to blurt out an assinine statement in hopes of diverting our attention from himself? I have a question for him: What do you think of Biden keeping multiple cartons of documents in an unsecured craphole in chinatown over by Philly? I’ll wait!
Looks like Trump’s advisors never told him not to trust a man who defends FBI snipers who shot a woman in cold blood.
And you Barr had no reasons to do the many wrongs you have done? Not much of an American are you?
“The President...may require the opinion, in writing, of the principal officer in each of the executive departments, upon any subject relating to the duties of their respective offices...”
Why was that put in the Constitution?
I suspect because somebody like George Washington didn’t want the old-fashioned equivalent of Monday morning quarterbacking.
Only by having documentary evidence that supported his action can a President be safe from unwanted & unjustified politically motivated attacks.
It is both necessary and proper that a former President be able to retain such documents. Politics is among the most vicious of occupations.
Barr has shown his Deep State stripes from the beginning. I don’t care what he says about any case as his opinion is corrupt. Did nothing on obvious vote fraud. Begone rat Barr!
Bill blowhard has a hard on for Trump.
Maybe Trump didn’t want the DS to steal them and doctor them up.
Paint "GOODYEAR" on Barr's A$$ and send him up!
What a putz, what about all the other Presidents who kept and Sec State Clinton who kept classified documents in bathrooms, garages & homes? Trump had a secure setup at Mar-A-Lago for document storage.
Barr making himself look like a democrats tool , a traitor AND CLOWN.
GO,AWAY,AND SHUT UP……..PLEASE.
I wonder... How many classified documents did you take home, Barr???

Let’s raid your residence Barr.......
Please, Bill, explain the process (the actual process) to declassify documents.
What’s that? You can’t? That’s right! You can’t! There is no process for declassification. The Archives suggested there may be, but there ISN’T.
Step off, Barr.
Another fabulous personnel decision by Trump... because as he boasts, he only hires the best.
The Durham report is just out and he is talking about storage of documents? What a moron.
No business or illegal...
Note the word play specifically for the msm:-)
