William Barr is an enemy of the state.

Barr: Russian Collusion Probe Into Trump "One Of The Greatest Travesties In American History"

Attorney General said the FBI's Russian collusion counterintelligence probe into the Trump campaign was one of the "greatest travesties in American history." In an interview with FNC's Laura Ingraham, Barr said the investigation was started "without any basis" and what happened after the election was a pattern of events "to sabotage the presidency."

"The president is very frustrated, I think you obviously know that – about Andrew McCabe, and he believes that people like McCabe and others were able to basically flout laws and so far with impunity," Ingraham said to Barr.

"I think the president has every right to be frustrated, because I think what happened to him was one of the greatest travesties in American history," Barr said. "Without any basis they started this investigation of his campaign, and even more concerning, actually is what happened after the campaign, a whole pattern of events while he was president. So I -- to sabotage the presidency, and I think that – or at least have the effect of sabotaging the presidency."

No Bill, Russia's installation of Trump as POTUS is the greatest travesty in American history.

Not only installing this traitor in the WH but NOT removing him is equally if not far greater than placing him in office.

Then Putin saved himself a fortune when Barr was confirmed as AG.

I doubt that Putin could have done more damage to the legal system in the USA by spending ten billion dollars to infiltrate it.

We have a killer virus that is causing people to die in the thousands a day and your petty, vindictive boss is playing favorites with life saving supplies. While tweeting about how the "lamestream media" is disrespecting his feelings. That is a travesty.
