Attorney General Bill Barr is facing impeachment calls after attacking ‘the Left’ for their ‘shredding norms,’ and “attacking the rule of law.” Barr is blaming PROGRESSIVES for its legal impeachment probe while seemingly supporting Trump who is facing bribery allegations. Former Federal Prosecutor Danya Perry calls Barr’s ‘highly unusual’ speech ‘authoritarian,’ adding he should not have spoke out in such a ‘partisan’ way. Aired on 11/19/19.

'A Liar' And 'A Fanatic': Calls To Impeach AG Barr After Speech Attacking 'The Resistance' | MSNBC
Barr has been lying and covering up since Iran Contra. He should have lost his license to practice law decades ago.
@Mighty Mouse By your behavior, I would say about 5.
@Mighty Mouse Why don’t you refer to what I replied to. Then ask yourself that question.
Barr is a disgusting individual. He has no credibility or place being AG
Geoff Aitken it was a very good speech you should listen to it in context in it’s entirety. He discusses the constitution and who the checks and balances should work in getting bipartisan consensus rather than use the Supreme Court as a sort of referee that gets the final say in what is and isn’t ok. A well thought out and pretty mild mannered speech overall.
He also lied about the Muller Report. Everyone seems to have forgotten that.
What did he lie about
@SMZ ZMS There’s that Trump University education shining through. Your fear betrays you…makes you subject to authoritarian control. Here, let me help you: https://theauthoritarians.org/Downloads/TheAuthoritarians.pdf
Barr’s iles about the Mueller report are too epically shameless to be forgotten. And now this…he deserves to exit with Trump, Pence and Pompeo
He never lied about the Mueller report. Everyone but you seems to know that. The left smears Barr now, forgetting he was an overwhelming bipartisan choice to clean up the corruption in the DOJ left by Obama, Holder, Lynch and some other agencies weaponized by Obama & Co. He’s doing a great job, dont you think? Most of the top people in FBI, CIA, DOJ, IRS, DNI are gone and reform underway. Now it’s just a question of who, how many and how far up the corruption went and who goes to jail. Obama, the Clinton’s, Holder, Lynch, Yates, Lerner, Comey, Clapper, Brennan, Biden to name a few but probably underlings will take the fall for most of the corruption.
@Elizabeth Newcity This is the key point too often. The trolls are monetizing sensible reactions of anger and disgust by saying ridiculous things intended to rile reasonable people.
Barr needs to be stripped of his title, charged with a crime for lying to protect the orange clown, and sent to jail.
Trump didn’t hire him for nothing. Just like every other hack he’s hired, appointed or supported.
Barrr : Some people think they’re entitled to equality……..and “WE” just can’t allow that to happen .
skidfrog…Bill Barr is a white elitist…do you think he learned that from his father who did favours for Epstein? I suppose the powerful will always need the poor, the “others” to play their reindeer games with, to fight their wars, to police the others. Why we turn a blind eye to their filth is beyond me. Perhaps we have been conditioned by years of serfdom.
Remember , when they say Barr is sane Republican, i hope he lands in jail like Nixon’s AG
You people in the media do not know Barr is the personal lawyer of the president and the justice department his law firm, come on wake up.
This explains his behavior regarding the Mueller report. He is the fanatic willing to go to any length to defeat opponents.
Bill Barr lied to the American people.
This is the same crap that happened in Germany in the ’30s.
@Marie Lovegrove Thank you; you do the same.
@Vote him Out I’m sure she takes great comfort from having a lightweight like you putting his two cents in just to stroke his own fragile ego, Mr. I Choose My Battles.
@Vote him Out Still read it though, didn’t you. You can silence us no more. Your cries of racist, bigot, baby killers no longer shame us into silence. Our words now frighten you. You are terrified it might cause some of your narrative to be exposed for the lies they are. Polls show the 20% of independents and moderates are moving to the right. We only need 5 percent to win a landslide in 2020. We see through your attacks. You are like a cornered wounded animal. You dont understand why your ferocious attacks no longer work, you think you are in a safe space, we see it as a lonely dead end. You can either change and be willing to work for improvements in the whole country or you can remain penned up with a few like you and become irrelevant after 2020. Your attempts to overthrow our leader, our government, our Constitution, our courts and our laws has been doomed from the start. Our mistake was in appeasing or ignoring your kind in Hope’s that you would be reasonable. Your not and you have done great damage but that now stops. You either cooperate with the majority or be cast aside by the voters. Democracy once again triumphs over violent anarchy.
@jkwttrs Little Russian Troll go away!!
This opportunist is The Man Who Would Be Himmler.
About time barr pay for this crime he trying to change the constitution to keep promoting corrupt and illegal crime barr and trump is out control barr need to lose his law licenses and go to jail
Barr setting himself up for a pardon from trump. Someone please tell him trump looking for one also
Is this not the same thing republicans did the Obama won election.
They did worse to President Obama. Far worse.
You no longer have the rule of law when the judiciary becomes political it is as simple as that .
do the republican remember that they started a ‘ do nothing for Obama’ right after he became president?
Barr sounds like he’s describing himself – corrupt and rather rotund.
Every liberal comment has an insult attached to fill the void of facts or meaningful substance.
Look around you. Rotund is the norm these days………… You must be a Brit. Rotund is not part of everyday American speech. If you are, how’s Brexit working out for you?
Davies is I am (a Brit) – Brexit is a right mess !
nutin butruth I guess when someone speaks their mind and doesn’t agree with you they must be a liberal right? 🙄
So much projection, he doesn’t have time to get his tongue out of the way.
Trying to bend reality into the storyline of “The Man in the High Castle” – where the Nazi’s where victorious in WWII.
