Barr says Trump prosecution is "legitimate case" and doesn't "run afoul of the First Amendment

Washington — Former Attorney General WIlliam Barr dismissed the argument that the election interference case against former President Donald Trump is not valid because his statements were protected by the First Amendment.

"It's certainly a challenging case, but I don't think it runs afoul of the First Amendment," Barr told "Face the Nation" on Sunday. "From a prosecutor's standpoint, I think it's a legitimate case."

(snip)

Barr declined to say whether he was interviewed by the special counsel during the investigation, but said he would "of course" appear as a witness if called.

The former attorney general, who resigned from the Trump administration in December 2020, said he told Trump on at least three occasions that "in no uncertain terms that there was no evidence of fraud that would have changed the outcome."

95% of the nation’s lawyers are Rat Party supporters. So are 95% of the judges. So of course they’re swamp creatures.

It’s not enough to describe Barr as all in. He’s all in and
asking if he could do more.

There was a time when I was rather neutral on him. He’s
really rounded the turn into demented > IMO.

Hiding Evidence and Hiding Investigations are not in their Mission.

Barr created new rules at a whim, and then he and Comey admitted they can waive their own rules whenever they feel like it.


It’s Not Justice, that much is clear.


If you notice, when they start the pious high minded pontification - it’s all lies.

The Rule of Law didn’t mean a thing when it comes to protecting Hillary and all her peeps. No one cared that the Podestas didn’t register as Foreign Agents, and the entire Biden family is a Crime Operation, from Sister Valerie to Brother James, Millions have flowed in for at least 12 years, probably more.

They are all Protected by the people that claim to hold the Rule of Law dear, and their favorite - “No one is above the Law”

Everyone knows that the prosecution of Trump is just abuse of power and suppression of the leading GOP candidate. Criminal election interference is what it is.

Bill Barr has become one of the main PR persons for the democrat criminals to run propaganda that this lawfare is legitimate. Bill Barr is using his "republican" label to give these illegal activities some credibility.

Barr is a compromised crook who suppressed the Hunter laptop investigation and the voter fraud investigations.

Jonathan Turley, who has been on Trump’s side down the line, has dismissed both the Bragg case in Manhattan, and the election interference case, as revenge politics. He is worried about the classified documents case. He didn’t say it was open and shut, or that it wasn’t political, but it’s the case that he thinks has the best chance legally to succeed.

Yes. He is more worried about what the Dems and Deep State will do to him if he doesn’t trash Trump.
