As Electoral College Certifies Biden's Win, Trump Announces AG Barr Plans To Resign
Barr served Trump not America or it’s people. Disgusting
Bill Barrs misconduct
https://www.pogo.org/analysis/2020/09/injustice-tracking-bill-barrs-misconduct-as-attorney-general/
Let Barr go. He’ll be dead in a month, and he knows this.
fingers crossed!!
@Jim Cox i guess toby ran away crying!
Stop wishing, Barr needs to go down for his crimes.
@pfenix7 Yes, like not informing the public about Hunter’s impending prosecution just prior to the election.
@chaz000006 Hunter is not part of the Biden administration. No nepotism here.
Lets now see the Muller Report
To be clear, it is very unusual for the AG to retire weeks before inauguration. 🤔
@SkyGemini you are not credible, Malcolm Nance. is. Malcolm Nance PBS the Muller report unredacted. Go on run along and google it. I will wait.
@SkyGemini you are wrong again…Muller put 44million in cash and property back in the treasury. The investigation did not cost 30 million. Try again…
@SkyGemini so, what you are saying is that the government took stolen money and stole it again to use to pay for the scam Mueller report?
@billycarson crackhead dribble.
Just like the rats on Titanic, they are jumping ship.
@LotWizzard says the child named wizard😂
@Freaky Mickey you dont have the slightest clue. but go ahead with your expected lame remedial reply
@LotWizzard you dont know what I have with your lame guessing skills, but go ahead with your ignorant reply
@Freaky Mickey nice job rewording the same reply i just gave you🏆 kind of like the kindergarten copycat game or ‘i know you are but what am i’ game
@LotWizzard nice job proving my point. Please keep going🤫
Barr is right up there with John Mitchell for sleaziness. Trust that history will reflect we were too easy on him.
And so now the rats will be jumping ship, because they will get nothing else from this sinking ship!
hey , what do you have against rats?… what did they ever do to you that you would comare them to barr? hahah
You all act like one side is full of pest. Pretty dam sad how delusional you are.
Except the political rats who fear the base and believe their jobs, power and business dealings will be safe as long as they appease The Base.
Came here to read the comments because I knew somebody would say “rats jumping ship” thanks for being so predictable and not disappointing me.
She’s absolutely correct. There s/b
CONSEQUENCES.
Barr was a tool used by the GOP to try to turn the US into an autocratic state.
His behaviour is inexcusable, he should have known better. He was willing to do it
Billy was potus’ boot licker and got thrown under the bus.
Just like all of the others. You would think that they would get the hint.
“Who knows why he wants to get out”
Ew ew ew me me (with my hand raised and waving) 👋
@billycarson I don’t think what you say is delusional. I think it’s quite possible, trumps unhinged
@billycarson hurry and file a lawsuit against your brain for lack of support. hurry! quickly!!!
Retire before u get fired second retirement after sessions 😅🤔🤔 good decision
@billycarson I think his own party will assassinate him….hes a loose canon….it will look like illness or a heart attack….but they will get rid of him…make him a martyr….and attempt to use it to galvanize his voters to back the Republican party again…. the alternative is a factionallized party relegated to a minority….corrupt… irrelevant….and reduced to scrambling for penny back room deals…..lol….I mean…if we are going to go down the rabbit hole….😉😊😄
@Lauren You could be correct but what about his children who have big money connections to Russia also? I was reading that VP Mike Pence will maybe run for President because I believe Trump will be going to jail for most likely the rest of his life If he remains in the USA Outside of White House Power after the November Election is over with by past women who he did enjoy, obstruction of justice through the Mueller Report, City & State of New York Taxes, Debt, etc. But I believe people like VP Mike Pence, Nikki Haley, etc. would even be worse than Trump because they are still supporting him & what he stands for. They should have jumped ship a long time ago. Some conservative Republicans are starting to jump ship right now. But the vast majority of Republicans are still supporting Trump & remember the so called 70+ million voters who voted for him. I hope we do not end up with Civil War before Uncle Joe is in the White House.
Of course he’s going to retire , his job is done . Time to go into hiding .
Yabba dabba doo!
@None Given you people are boring as watching paint dry get out of that basement and do something functional with your life ya inbred
@R C – Closer to…
#YabbaDabbaDoneFor 👎😂👎
@None Given you should file a lawsuit against your brain for lack of support. We’ll all stand witness for you.
Trump needs another puppet to push voter fraud from that position to continue the stop the steal scam
LMFAO… The ship sank long ago, he’s just floating face down now.
Trump: “Who’s Barr? Never heard of him.”
Unperson, referred to the Ministry of Truth.
“He was probably a Coffee boy”
Do I know him. I don’t recall we have met. Women, child, men….ah….donkey..
Too funny. Trump keeps a big bus in the garage . Under the bus Barr goes .
He don’t want to be the part of the “self- pardoning”.
He already has a Pocket Pardon
@Brian Dunn
All went in trumps pocket!
He has his own all purpose ‘ pocket pardon ‘ and has enough sense to bail before there is actually blood in the streets.
@wee huddy blood in the STREETS??? Oh noooooooo mr bill.
Billy boy could write a book about his former orange boss. LOL.
Hopefully he will be charged for conspiracy to cover up the russian collusion mueller too .
Maby take ur citizenship 😎
Mueller didn’t do an investigation of trumps financial records. If he did all roads would’ve led to Duetsche bank and the Russian bank who did the underwriting for trumps loans. The art of the deal has always been Trump making unethical and shady decisions.
#bankruptsixtimes
Full throttle forward after Barr and his crimes!!!
kamalas itching to get her team after every possible one
I have absolutely no respect for tRump’s lap dog.
Hey! Don’t take away Pence’s job. See how Jimmy Kimmel called Pence…a
Trump: “I never met him. I don’t know what he does. But from what I’ve heard he’s a not so good guy. The DOJ is a mess and he’s a disaster.”
Lmao!! On point..
rofl
😂😂
LOL – so epic and so true!
Aww, poor Barr. Wasn’t he getting enough of a cut of the grifted “legal expenses” money?
Interesting. Probably found out Trump gonna keep it all. Nobody’s getting paid!
@Faden Mac He has his ‘ Pocket Pardon ‘ and isn’t hanging around for the bloodbath trump is demanding .
No. Barr is just trying to cover his own A$$. Barr knows he could be in some deep doo doo soon.
Barr should have been charged with lying to Congress when he testified pre-Mueller report. It’s not too late.
He’s going to jail soon. Trumps letting him have his last Xmas with his family. If I knew he was a Deepstate Rat 4 yrs ago so did Trump. Trump is just letting all these Deepstaters do their dirty work so he can fry them all.
Exactly. One of the first very bad mistakes that basically opened up to all the crap that’s happened since. Someone should have come out and said that was a lie. Wish Mueller did that. Wish Mueller didn’t have the ridiculous circuitous line . . . Well, if we found him innocent, we would have said so . . . Something to that effect. Ridiculous! He should have come straight out and said, T is guilty of these things and we have the proof. Wimps, all of them.
Grab Him!!! Before He goes the country!!!!
Wow you are ignorant.
kamala harris has been waiting for something…
