Barr Says Trump Was Responsible for Capitol Riots

[kpete]

Former attorney general William Barr said that he believes that former president Donald Trump is “responsible in the broad sense of that word” for for the Capitol riots on Jan. 6, 2021, the Washington Post reports.

Said Barr: “I do think he was responsible in the broad sense of that word in that it appears that part of the plan was to send this group up to the Hill. I think the whole idea was to intimidate Congress, and I think that that was wrong.”

2. Considering the source, the information is reliably spurious.

4. You are way too late asshole. nt

[kentuck]

5. Just think. He was a hero to the MAGAts.

NOw, they believe nothing he says. He is dependent upon liberals to salvage his reputation.

6. It looks like he's one of the first to lose the stream of Roubles.

As Putin is forced to austerity measures, he's cutting his American payroll. RT (Russia TV) and Barr are among the early casualties.

7. The getaway driver is getting nervous

8. Now he says the truth. What he do, write a book?

[Bengus81]

16. Yep,think he has a new one coming out soon or already out

surprise surprise............

[Justice matters.]

9. Says the guy who could have prevented it by doing his job.

Which was to indict the orange terrorist on ten counts of Obstruction of Justice, but book sales are more important.

11. Book must not be selling...

Good.

12. Better late than never

I’m sure the committee will talk to him. He’s probably the most high profile witness so far, even if he wasn’t there on Jan 6. He knows the lead up to this.

I can’t stand the guy, but at this point, I’m glad for anyone who steps up with info on Trump’s plans, actions and behavior.

13. So why didn't he say it in Jan 2020?

Fuck him

[mnmoderatedem]

14. if charges were brought against trump, would Barr be a material witness?

he could go a long way toward debunking any "trump really thought the election was rigged, so he acted accordingly" nonsense.

Barr appears to be the most prominent witness, among many, that repeatedly told trump there was no election fraud. trump repeatedly ignored such realities and chose to live in an alternate universe. Not a good criminal defense.

15. Barr knows the Big Lie damage has been done, state legislatures are gutting voting rights

He helped with that legislation by lying about the dangers of mail-in voting before the election.

So voting rights are under attack, and the crazy cult followers are in place. Now he needs the republican base that didn't much like the capital attack back on board, so he's laundering like crazy. He also needs Trump out to make room for Pompeo. Barr is a terrible human being.

17. d'oh

[jcgoldie]

18. Barr reminds me of Kelly with these revelations

Where were they when it mattered?

20. In Trump's pocket.

19. Why didn't you warn us asshole.

The press is doing a bad job questioning people like Barr. He fucking knew. He said nothing. Now he is trying to be a hero, fuck that.
