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.”

Barr has always been deep state and is most likely compromised by US Intelligence. The question is why did Trump nominate Barr to replace Jeff Sessions as AG.
Trump would have better luck picking his next cabinet at random out of the phone over going with Washington DC insiders.
“You take what you think will be responsive,” Right...
This is called a fishing expedition, which is illegal.
The people serving the warrant can only take the specific items listed in the warrant.
Even a overly broad statement like ‘Any documents produced in the 4 year of his presidency’ does not include Time magazines nor pieces of clothing. The FBI is clearly in violation of the warrant here.
Is Barr being pumped with info from the FBI/DOJ and he is acting as the unofficial mouthpiece — telling their spin to the press since they can only leak things?
Three passports: Diplomatic, civilian, expired. Wow.There’s a crime right there. /sarc
Is this really the way it's supposed to work? Looks like this means a lot of government intrusion and overreach. Then again, Barr is clearly a guy who favors a strong authoritarian government and cares little for individual rights.
How does Bill know where the passports were found? Hell they could have been in Melania’s dresser for all we know.
The circus continues...
Tie yourself up in knots Barr…
If only you worked so hard looking into election fraud as you do trying to justify this farce…
Am I the only one who finds this quote almost unintelligible?
Barr does like the sound of his own voice — and at this point, I can’t tell the difference whether he is talking or playing the bagpipes.
He was activated when he signed on as AG
Amazing that this guy is so much more interested in getting Trump than he was about getting any actual crooks in DC. The GOPe is every bit as crooked as the Democrats.
His father wrote pedo-porn and was a Jeff Epstein friend and booster.
Barr is full of stink - not to mention a Bush suckling. Why Trump brought this POS into play is beyond me.
Hmmm?? Sounds like the fat sonofabitch has some inside information there? Seems to me that Jan 2023 he should permanently lose his security clearances!
In a way; in those days he was stealth. He's now been activated for narrative engineering purposes.
He’s sure like to…
This guy Barr has to be guilty of something. He is much too involved in anything regarding Trump. I figure Trump may have something on him.
They are pathetically desperate. How much crap can they make up? They found Trump Passports in Trump’s home! Shocking!
Bootlickers that pick and choose like Barr belong with their tyrannical father, aka Lucifer.
