CBS busts Bill Barr for 'completely different' public remarks compared to Jan. 6 deposition

1. And he obstructed justice hundreds of times, used the DOJ to keep a dictator fascist

in power, etc.

Barr not being in prison is laughable, assures me this country is broken. If a Democratic AG did what he did?

Dear god the country would have exploded.

[gratuitous]

2. The former guy treated the AG like his own personal law firm

And Bill Barr was only too happy to oblige until the wheels fell off, and then he was suddenly all about DOJ independence and the integrity of the department. I'm glad at least one media outlet remembers.

3. So much this...nt

4. Would love to see Rachel Maddow do one of her in depth timelines on Barr...

I suspect there would be some interesting things to see there.

Hell, she could start with Barr saving Reagan's ass over Iran-Contra. That's where he got his start, and his RW fascist creds. Then delineate how he completely subverted the Mueller Report.

A bit of fertile ground to till there.

6. He's a fucking conspirator

THREAD: Barr chuckling & distancing himself from Trump’s post-election “detachment from reality,” is really quite chilling. B/c Barr encouraged & abetted Trump’s obsession w/nonexistent voter fraud for months before the election. Here’s Barr in Sept 2020.

Barr claims a man collected 1,700 ballots and filled them out as he pleased. Prosecutors say that’s...
In his latest attack on mail-in voting, Attorney General William Barr greatly exaggerated a Texas voter fraud investigation.

5. Barr was all in for a imperial presidency until his fat ass got burned by proximity...

to Trump's crimes. I don't think Barr actively participated but he sure as hell did not represent the US and Constitution.

Now he is trying to rehab himself.

7. Great! Do not let Barr get away with talking out of both sides of his mouth. nt

[Scrivener7]

8. Well done!!!

[FakeNoose]

10. Barr wrote that book to try and rehabilitate his image

... but it's not working.

We remember too much, and it wasn't that long ago. Every pound of him is guilty.

Remember how we used to hate on Jeff Sessions and Rod Rosenstein? Those guys are totally forgotten now, but at one time we thought they had to be guilty of something, but I don't know what. Election fraud maybe, if nothing else. They're totally forgotten now.

11. Ari is tearing him a new one right now

They are all duplicitous scumbags.

12. This is why nobody will ever be charged with a crime.

Many of these people are on record saying different things at different times to different audiences. That’s a prosecutors recipe for disaster.

13. Barr needs to be prosecuted and lose his hefty pension and perks.

Jail time.
