Former Attorney General Bill Barr did not improperly pressure prosecutors to reduce sentencing recommendations for political activist Roger Stone, according to a new government watchdog report. The exoneration of Barr came more than four years after a deluge of media reports alleging wrongdoing. However, J.P. Cooney, a Justice Department official now serving as Special Counsel Jack Smith’s top deputy, cultivated a politically toxic environment, disseminated baseless conspiracy theories about Trump and his political appointees, and engaged in unprofessional conduct as he oversaw the team making sentencing recommendations, according to the same report. Cooney is mentioned (as the “Fraud and Public...

Bill Barr is plugged into, and gets his marching ­orders from, a network of reactionary Catholics, whose tentacles reach into the highest echelons of power. At the center is a sinister, secretive organization with a Latin name: Opus Dei, “the Work of God.” That’s the impression you might take away from a new profile of the attorney general in The New Yorker. All that’s missing are the hair shirts, cilices and murderous albino monks — the kind of thing too many secular elites believe about the lives of devout ­Catholics generally and members of Opus Dei especially. The winding and...

BREAKING: BILL BARR LAUGHS AS NEIL CAVUTO MOCKS STEVE BANNON GOING TO JAIL

Former Attorney General William Barr called the New York hush money case against former President Trump an “abomination” in a Wednesday interview and said he was confident the guilty verdict will be overturned on appeal. “When people were talking about it, I said that the case was an abomination, and I didn’t think it was going to be brought at the end of the day because it was so vaporous,” Barr told Fox News’s Jimmy Failla in an interview on “Fox Across America.” “I was surprised they went ahead with it,” Barr said about New York prosecutors. “And it’s met...

Former President Donald Trump said sarcastically he will remove “lethargic” for the list of insults of former Attorney General Bill Barr, after his “wholehearted endorsement.” Trump posted on Truth Social late Wednesday: Wow! Former A.G. Bill Barr, who let a lot of great people down by not investigating Voter Fraud in our Country, has just Endorsed me for President despite the fact that I called him “Weak, Slow Moving, Lethargic, Gutless, and Lazy” (New York Post!). Based on the fact that I greatly appreciate his wholehearted Endorsement, I am removing the word “Lethargic” from my statement. Thank you Bill. MAGA2024!

Comedian Roseanne Barr sent X into a meltdown after she mocked Joe Biden by levying a fictitious accusation similar to those made by E. Jean Carroll against Donald Trump. In a video, Barr dramatically claimed that Biden assaulted her decades ago in a department store. Barr, who acts distressed in the video, recounts her “experience” in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room – a parody of Carroll’s allegations against Trump.

Former Attorney General Bill Barr said Wednesday on Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom” that he will support Donald Trump in November. Barr said, “The real threat to liberty, the real threat to our system, are the excesses of the progressive left. They are perverting the system of justice and that’s where the danger lies. The corruption and subversion of our institutions by the left.” Co-host Bill Hemmer said, “I heard you call this hush money case outrageous. I also know you’ve been asked many times and had disagreements with the former president. He is the presumptive nominee and we assume...

The Truth Seeker @TruthSeeker543 Were you aware that Donald Barr employed a very young and unqualified 21-year-old Jeffrey Epstein to teach at one of the most elite private schools in New York City? Interestingly, Donald Barr also wrote a disturbing book called Space Relation which is about young children—a topic too unsettling to discuss here. More info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Relations … It gets even more strange. Donald's son, Bill Barr, served as the Attorney General of the DOJ, and Jeffrey Epstein committed "suicide " under his watch. It's probably just a series of coincidences, though. Nothing to see here.

Former Attorney General Bill Barr said state efforts to pull former President Trump from primary ballots for the upcoming election are “counterproductive” and actually strengthening Trump’s chances of victory. “Regardless of what I, you know, think of Trump and the fact that I oppose his renomination, I think he has to be beaten at the ballot box,” Barr told Fox News’ Neil Cavuto on Saturday. “And these heavy-handed efforts to disenfranchise his supporters, I think are counterproductive. If anything, they make him stronger.”

Former Attorney General Bill Barr said Wednesday on CNN’s “The Lead” that former President Donald Trump saying several times that immigrants are “poisoning the blood” of the country is offensive. Barr said, “I’m offended by it because it has racist overtones. I actually feel, as you say, we have to control the border and a lot of people coming across the border from anywhere in the world. We don’t know where they’re coming from.

Acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller ordered a Pentagon-wide halt to cooperation with the transition of President-elect Biden, shocking officials across the Defense Department, senior administration officials tell Axios. Behind the scenes: A top Biden official was unaware of the directive. Administration officials left open the possibility cooperation would resume after a holiday pause. The officials were unsure what prompted Miller's action, or whether President Trump approved. Why it matters: Miller's move, which stunned officials throughout the Pentagon, was the biggest eruption yet of animus and mistrust toward the Biden team from the top level of the Trump administration. What happened:...

Hunter Biden requested on Wednesday to subpoena former President Trump and three senior officials who served in his administration’s Justice Department, seeking evidence that Biden’s criminal prosecution is politically motivated. Biden, who faces three federal gun charges, is demanding Trump and former Attorney General Bill Barr turn over communications and documents concerning the president’s son or his criminal investigation. The demands for documents, which must be approved by a judge, also extend to former Deputy Attorney General Richard Donoghue and former acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen.

Former U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr knocked former President Trump’s verbal skills in Friday comments. “His verbal skills are limited,” Barr said at an event at The University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics. When asked if the former President was “losing it” by CBS correspondent Jan Crawford, Barr said Trump is “not very disciplined with what he says.” Barr’s comments about the complexity of the former president’s vocabulary prompted laughs from the audience.

Former Attorney General Bill Barr pushed back against the claims that former President Trump’s trials will interfere with the 2024 election, calling them “simply wrong.” “The basic principle in the criminal justice system is if a prominent person commits a crime and they’re seeking office, that doesn’t give them immunity,” Barr said on Fox News’s “America Reports.” “If there’s enough time to have it resolved before the election, it should be resolved.” Barr was also shown a clip of Republican presidential candidate and Trump critic Chris Christie saying earlier this week that Trump’s “conduct” and “insistence on continuing to run...

Barr was new blood, a full-time Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) analyst recruited by Langley out of high school, starting in 1971. Barr’s career goal was to lead the CIA. By 1979 Barr was a golden boy during George Herbert Walker Bush’s political rise from CIA director to vice president to president on Jan. 20, 1989.

Former Attorney General Bill Barr has floated the idea of home detention for Donald Trump should he be convicted of criminal conspiracy or classified documents crimes – raising the prospect of a former president serving time at a gilded prison he terms the 'winter White House.' Barr made the comment in yet another revealing interview where he spoke about his departure from the Trump White House amid Trump's election overturn effort, and argued the former president was not entitled to 'immunity' during his reelection bid. Trump's lawyers argued in a new filing to push his trial date in the January...

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...

Former Attorney General Bill Barr said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that he was willing to testify against former President Donald Trump at his January 6 trial. Anchor Major Garrett asked, “Were you interviewed by the special counsel?” Barr said, “I’m not going to go into that.” Would you appear as a witness if called?” Barr said, “Of course.” Garrett said, “One of those associated with Trump’s defense team has said, if you were called as a witness, they would cross-examine you and pierce all of that by asking you questions that you couldn’t, to their mind, credibly answer...

Bill Barr enjoys talking about the weaponized DOJ as if the DOJ was not weaponized. Bill Barr is a very dangerous figure in the government weaponization process, and he had a lot of people fooled for a long time. Fortunately, he didn’t fool me and many of you remember exactly why.Additionally, during my 2020 trip to DC, it was specific suspicions about Bill Barr that necessitated going directly into the system. Through research and eventually a stroke of luck, I was able to trace the people Attorney General Barr assigned to review the Trump-Russia collusion nonsense. I found the people...

During an interview with PBS aired on Thursday’s broadcast of “PBS NewsHour,” former Attorney General Bill Barr stated that current Attorney General Merrick Garland can’t distance himself from the charging decisions on Hunter Biden and told him, “You own the decision. The decision has to be right in your judgment as Attorney General.” Barr stated, “I do think that Garland — Attorney General Garland, should — I think he needs to act swiftly to deal with the Hunter Biden thing, because I think it’s hurting the department a great deal. And I don’t think it’s possible for an Attorney General...
