Appalling' And 'Lawless': AG Barr Hammered For Protecting Trump | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC

Former GOP strategist Steve Schmidt joins MSNBC Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber to discuss Attorney General Bill Barr’s “appalling” actions. Schmidt argues “The attorney general is the chief law enforcement officer of the United States, not the president's personal attorney” adding Barr “has acted in a way that is contrary to every other attorney general's understanding of their duties in that office.” Schmidt slams AG Barr for acting “like Donald Trump's Roy Cohn."

1. K&R!

[Rhiannon12866]

2. Thanks!

Steve Schmidt is always good, the forceful way he speaks out, but I wanted to post the entire report, including the initial explanation.

11. Yw!

[duforsure]

3. Barr will end up going to prison

Unless he turns on trump , his sentence may be less, but I think he will be easily convicted for numerous crimes. Barr will go down as the worse and most corrupt AG this country has ever had.

[Rhiannon12866]

4. For someone who has supposedly studied law, it's inconceivable what he thinks he can get away with!

[duforsure]

6. I agree!

He's arrogant and after he gets called before Congress after trump gets ousted he'll be crying and pleading for mercy , and whining he's the victim, like trump does all the time. He will end up going to prison.

[Rhiannon12866]

7. And he's been so blatant about it, that's what's so particularly galling!

Does he expect Trump to protect him?? Trump is going to have "a hell of a job" just trying to defend himself!

13. trump will dump barr like he dumped roy cohn

[2naSalit]

5. I agree except...

I question whether there will be an "unless". Too many have been harmed, there is no redemption for him and some of his crimes are punishable by death.

[calimary]

8. THANKS, Rhiannon!

I missed this segment! THANKS!

It makes me hopeful that that fucker Barr might finally have to face some REAL justice. Not having anything to do with the White House - but the “Big House.”

Lock him up!!!

[Rhiannon12866]

12. He's been so damn blatant, I don't see any way around it!

And I thought that Ari (with the help of Steve Schmidt) did a great job of explaining the case!

[empedocles]

14. The 'process' keeps moving along

10. WOWZA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
