Former Attorney General Bill Barr, who served in President-elect Trump's first administration, is calling on prosecutors at the state and federal levels to dismiss the pending legal cases against Trump before he takes office once again.
Barr told Fox News Digital that voters were well aware of all the allegations against Trump when electing him to a second term in office on Tuesday, and that it is in the country's best interest for prosecutors to listen to them.
"The American people have rendered their verdict on President Trump, and decisively chosen him to lead the country for the next four years," Barr said. "They did that with full knowledge of the claims against him by prosecutors around the country and I think Attorney General Garland and the state prosecutors should respect the people’s decision and dismiss the cases against President Trump now."
Barr asserted that the legal theories in some of the cases already had been "greatly weakened by a series of court decisions," and that the matters "have now been extensively aired and rejected by the American people."
Once Trump takes office in January, Barr pointed out, prosecutors will be unable to continue the cases during his term. A Trump-appointed attorney general could end the federal cases brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith; one in Washington, D.C., for alleged efforts to overturn the outcome of the 2020 election, and another in Florida based on allegations dealing with retaining classified documents after his first term.

Oh now hes coming to DJTs defence.....tbis is one of many that needs a little payback.
That would be the absolute right thing to do. But we're dealing with Democrats, they don't do what is right.
No. Let them be destroyed on the lack of merits. Otherwise, it looks political rather than exoneration.
DOJ has already dismissed Jack Smith citing no authority to prosecute a president.
Yup!
Does anyone think tish james is going to drop her unwarranted case in NY?
Bagpipes Barr ——
You DS swamp Rat-—
Chew Glass.
Doing what is right is akin to garlic, crucifix’s, and mirrors to vampires.
In all fairness, I believe Barr has been vocal about this being improper in the past. But yeah, everyone’s coming out of the woodwork today trying to shore up their bona fides for jobs in the next administration.
For whatever reason, Barr is on the right track here. But he didn’t go far enough. For the good of the country:
- Biden ought to pardon Trump for any federal offenses he *might* have committed.
- Gov. Hochul ought to pardon Trump for any New York offenses he *might* have committed.
Will either one of them put the country first? Not very likely. Today’s Democrats are unfortunately way too petty and vindictive.
Translation - sweep it all under the rug so the judges and prosecutors face no repercussions for their actions.
While I agree with what Barr is saying, I don’t want him anywhere near Washington DC — ever again.
“Once Trump takes office in January, Barr pointed out, prosecutors will be unable to continue the cases during his term.”
They will put the cases on ice for four years, then defrost them and continue as if nothing happened. They are vindictive monsters.

The question is what is judge Merchan going to do on November 26? If he tries to put Trump in jail, there will be an all out riot in New York City. The pressure on this guy must be unbelievable.
No Bill, you can’t have your old job back.
Gee… thanks Bill.. ya big bag of feces..
Not only should they drop their cases... They should prepare themselves to be indicted for wrongful prosecutions and the willful harassment of a former President for political purposes.
What they’ve been doing is criminal in nature, and they deserve to be prosecuted for their crimes.
