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 is stupider than I ever considered he could be. He’s like a mob soldier at this point. No reference to equal justice, no reference to law, just spewing nonsense.
Except they weren’t classified documents. The president has the right to declassify anything at any time, and does NOT need permission from his underlings. And if you work in the executive branch, you are one of the President’s underlings.
Don't leave it up to speculation, which is what you're doing. Spill the beans.
Give us that inside scoop or just SHUT UP!
Nobody, except liberals who you are now siding with, cares what you think.
Somebody must have some real good dirt on you for you to come out swinging so wildly. The Bush days catching up?
Looks like he himself is somehow implicated or he wouldn't be "carrying water" so vigorously.
Nonsense.
All it means is the most secure documents were locked up.
Barr is beyond stupid which means he will soon be working for PMSNBC.
That bloated elitist shut his yap for all the years he and Durham were supposed to be ardent bulldogs on the scent of crimes. Didn’t want to upset ongoing investigations or harm potential testimony as later being admissable by saying too much.
Now he can’t shut up.
Highly doubt Trump kept his passports in the locked room with his white house documents. Likely was in his safe. Most likely the FBI went out of their way to be evil. Suspect his medical records and tax documents were clearly separate as well. Barr is a loser and the FBI...
This guy is in serious need of a massive MI
Why can’t these guys who have never done anything unique, artistic or inventive shut the hell up.
I’ve met a lot of lawyers, I’ve only met one worth a damn.
One of them who Is doing some work for me found out one of my techniques for dealing with them. I tell them I’m coming to their office in an hour and have the entire file waiting in their conference room. I then show up and using my speed reading talents tear through their work. The other day while doing this I found a very very big screwup.
Barr is an unimpressive attorney who is working for the government because he has no gifts in his business.
Like many others before him, Trump broke him.
Sure, because Trump hides his passport in illegally gotten top secret documents so he can grab it and go. It’d be funny if it weren’t so serious.
Don’t listen to a guy who knows what he is talking about. Let’s listen to the guy who thinks he can make the rules for himself.
This is key to who Barr is and why he does what he does. What a coincidence that his father gave Epstein his “start” at his upscale private school despite no college education and the son, Bill, gave him his ending as the AG. All the dots in-between need to be connected.
That’s because it’s jibberish. But the leftits and Trump haters will suck it down and fill in the blanks with their own feelings.
Taint team, hmm.
So, the warrant said they had access to everything including the garden shed and produce bin in the fridge? Everything so they could load up pool toys and maul through Melania’s undies and sort them out later. That’s a broad warrant.
But the idiots that watch MSM andFox news don’t know that. They trust good old Bill.
How does he know where stuff was found? He sounds like he was there.
Maybe the documents were being kept for Trump’s library, you know like The Barack Obama Presidential Library holds more than 30 million pages of textual Presidential records from the Executive Office of the President (EOP).……
That’s a paraphrase of William F. Buckley, Jr.
