Barr Games With Flynn Case Ripped As 'Corrupt Political Errand' | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
Barr should be charged with obstruction of justice
when Barr is done we will give him the the metal of honor for being so brave and honest.
@Dj Salazar Bunkerboy will follow his buddy Epstien. Watch and see.
@Whicker Boy Who was framed Einstien ? Your itty-bitty excuse for a brain starting to realize you bet on the wrong horse ?But you still can’t stand to be wrong. Well you got played, tRump conned you, he lied to you and you asked for more, you thought he was your savior, even as he stabbed you in the back. Snap out of it fool. Russia has divided us, and you are a fool to be used by the commies. stfu
Obstruction of justice ? Nothing less than treason. He is consciously working against the Constitution, the cold war never ended. We are at war. Putin is playing asymmetric chess. Lil Donnie is no match for Vladimir.
@Stefan Schleps BULL
the Republican base is the root of all evil #vote 💙
Hon k
Ho nk
The root and the fruit..it is all rotten!
The most corrupt attorney general. You will definitely be remembered for the slime you are
@Stephen Ball more than that I’m on the right side.
@david cook… look at all the felons in his cabinet and all the crooked slimy incidents his family & friends are involved with!
If you believe that is the “right” side… you really are a crooked SOB…
@Stephen Ball find me some one in the Obama Biden gang that is not corrupt, just one, there are none.
Stephen Ball you cannot argue with stupidity. Don’t waste your energy. It’s not us that consider them stupid it’s trump. That’s why he ran as a Republican.
@Stephen Ball it’s the right side you are just brainwashed by the MSM.
The most corrupt of all America’s administration is trump’s regime. Despicable.
@GuessWhat every thing they accuse Trump of is what they are doing.
@Y L you are the imbecile, 4 more years, maybe 8 if he wants it.
@Lawsonia it is to bad your mother kept the after birth and threw away the baby.
@david cook Yup.
@Y L I will really enjoy my three term President
I love this judge. Finally someone not letting the corruption go unnoticed.
I do as well but also fear for his life; remember Jeffrey Epstein? That was no suicide.
Sullivan is out of order, if Flynn was a democrat he would have dropped the case like every other time that the DOJ said drop the case.
Barr’s father groomed and protected Jeffrey Epstein too…
Deja Voodoo I’m from the uk and phoned my friend in Portland, Oregon to make sure she was ok as regarding the wild fires, she told me this story, I thought wow! You can’t make this sheet up.
Russell Newton We might need your help if Trump wins
Barr is so corrupt…I hope President Biden appoints a special counsel to investigate him and his soon-to-be ex-boss Trump in 2021.
As long as Barr is the AG, the DoJ should be called the “Department of Injustice.”
If the Republikkkan Party were true patriots,
Trump and his buddy in Crime Pence could be Impeached and removed before the end of next week!
But that will Never happen will it?
Because the Repglikkkan party would need to get President Putin’s permission FIRST!
@Colin Mahoney MORON
Eric Holder said I work for Obama not for the people i’m his wing man. that is the most corrupt department of justice. Obamas whole time in office was trying to help his muslim brothers
Barr is so corrupt…I hope President Biden appoints a special counsel to investigate him and his soon-to-be ex-boss Trump in 2021.
david cook nobody wants to think for themselves and actually looks these facts up . They’re either bots 🤖 or obediently ignorant
Trumps a virus… That is more dangerous than Covid…
You mean humans
brain dead people like you are what’s wrong with the country.
@perl man China Joe
COVID IS THE “TRUMP VIRUS” !
Who, but the CLOWN, has done more to promote the Coronavirus ?
@perl man
Correction !
“THE TRUMP VIRUS”
The CLOWN has promoted the spread of Coronavirus MUCH MORE than China ever could !!
Barr should loose his lawyer license for all the corruption and dirty way that he is been dealing with Flynn and other cases.
Flynn was railroaded by the nazi Mueller gang.
@david cookThe only Nazis are All Trumps followers like You.
Barr should have judge Sullivan charged with obstruction of justice.
@david cook Will see who will get charged with corruption? All Trump administration crooks and criminals.
Barr is so corrupt…I hope President Biden appoints a special counsel to investigate him and his soon-to-be ex-boss Trump in 2021.
America has to be one of the most corrupt countries under Trump’s watch.
America has always been corrupt. Worse than that a corrupter of other nations.
@thomas boffman You are simply incorrect, but I am ok with that. You should not be though. Your statement is outrageous.
The Wiz , he said “one of the most” Not the only country. And yes, it’s corrupt under Trump’s watch.
The Wiz , so I suppose all these professionals who have worked with Barr & Trump are liars?? You’re blaming Maddow. I suppose all these lawyers who have worked in the DOJ with Barr are liars??🙄🙄
no Trump is fixing Obama’s mess.
Putin is the worst President the US has ever had.
@D B just because Obama had a husband doesn’t mean I have one.
And obummer wasn’t? Lol yeah ok
david cook Well we finally agree on something I never liked Barack Hussein’s’ husband either, But you can forgive me For making the assumption because you’re the one that brought up husbands.
@D B it’s a fair assumption.
he is better than Obama he wouldn’t sell out his country like Obama did.
It’s amazing how traitors are walking free in America, one sitting in the WH.
@Jose Conchas Dark, but seems to be the case.
Barr is so corrupt…I hope President Biden appoints a special counsel to investigate him and his soon-to-be ex-boss Trump in 2021.
david cook All politicians are criminals. The funny thing is, they have been attacking each other, uncovering each other’s crimes and still America doesn’t see the bs? Instead of fighting one another, people should come together and make these rich criminals accountable for their crimes, not start fighting one another, that’s what they want. As long as people are divided, they will do as they please.
Right. The road of treason leads to putin
Obama is the traitor must go to jail and all of his buddies too.
This whole administration lies about everything. Mafia administration. Trump is dangerous. Vote 😷🗳💙
More dangerous than he is given credit for.
@Dino F. true wants to use nukes for hurricane, wildfires and his ego.
American Republicans will go full Nazi if we let them…
@Ernest Cote shadow government. treason Obama
@Lennard Kahn yes he will
The lack of checks & balances for this President is truly shocking.
@Kathy Massey Thanks for your reply, Kathy. Fingers crossed for November. It will take a long time to undo the damage.
@Harriet Mcguire Too bad. Some Americans don’t seem to understand democracy.
@david cook Yes, I am a Canadian who voted for a fairly decent human being, not a narcissist or a failed businessman, in Justin Trudeau. He has a lot of political experience, too, which has led to people dying of covid19 in Canada at about half the rate of the U.S. How “stupid” is that? It still amazes me how ignorant people like you are. You can’t craft an articulate argument (largely because you don’t have one), so like the orange buffoon, you hurl insults. You must be one of the uneducated that he so loves.
@Karen Shaw The Senate is the ones enabling him. What a shame that they are allowing him to do this to our country…😔😔😔
@Rosalyn Jeffery I hope you can fix it, Rosalyn.
Barr looks like he knows that he’s going to jail. As soon as Trump is out of office. Look at his demeanor. Not so confident anymore.
Barr never answers the question asked . He stalls, repeats the question he wad just asked, picks apart the wording in the question asked but never answers even a simple yes or no question asked for him to answer.
@MERLE JONES Kamala really had him over a barrel. He had to grapple with a simple question did he talk to anyone. It was hilariously funny.
“When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty.”
― Thomas Jefferson
@Gina Mazyck No they are not,did you just make that up? it is not true
@Zach Weingart the most dangerous was the one that sold out the country OBAMA
@david cook How, EXACTLY, did he sell out the country. Not generalizations. Specifics. Also, I find it interesting that the republicunts controlled both houses of Congress for the entirety of President Obama’s two terms and yet they couldn’t find a single malfeasance with which to indict him or anyone in his administration. EXACTLY how do you account for that?
@david cook You can’t stop “truth, justice and the American way.” We have Superman on our side. You have a lying, cowardly, weasely wannabe dictator.
@david cook Well, David, actually it is true. You’re going to get a very rude awakening come November 3rd. Quite a few Republicans — those who are fully informed and have a brain, a conscience and the best course for our country in mind — are voting for Joe/Kamala.
Be strong, carry on, then vote Trump and his band of criminals out.
@Gary Browning so you don’t mind Trump’s interference in the elections by hamstringing the USPS ?
@George B. Wolffsohn
Riots ….They are happening because idiots are brainwashed by the Democtrat run media to destabilize the current administration under Donald J Trump . And they are happening because the idiots have abandoned God and embraced anarchy . next question ??
@Ian Worcester WELL SAID SIR.
@George B. Wolffsohn What’s good for the goose is good for the gander! F**k them commie ba*yard Liberals!
@Gary Browning Rather a commie liberal (Jesus is a commie) than a Republinazi like you.
FREDDIE FLINTSTONE needs a CELL next to the Orange Idiots.
Just seeing the Dishonest and Despicable Barr as the AG is indeed the most disgraceful chapter in the history of American Justice System.
you loved him when he worked for Bush
what about Eric wing man Holder? he even said that.
This is what this administration is all about, “CORRUPTION ” with trumps guidance.
Derry Taylor Check this out his day is coming no doubt about it. The Magas think this is a joke and a Hoax against their Supreme Leader the “Chosen One” DJT but they are going to get a wakeup call one day and realize they have been scammed by this Con Man. The SDNY AG is going to charge Trump it’s coming as soon as early 2021 there is a mountain of evidence. Everyone connected to him is a convicted Felon think about that. Who do you think orchestrated the crimes? Trump. https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/donald-trump-criminal-case.html
@William Jackson You sir are as nutty as a fruitcake and need psychiatric help.
@Todd Flores , Thank You so Much, Todd. I have been reading about Cy Vance and the 7th District of New York for a while. What I don’t understand is why he was ever allowed to run. I certainly hope that he doesn’t win again, and that there will be safeguards put in place in the future to prevent this from happening again. He is a Crook and so are the rest of them, they just haven’t (all) been convicted. It’s Crime du Jour. Today it’s about Michael Cavuto, a Conspiracy Theorist he appointed to mangle the CDC ! I’m getting angry at myself for allowing it All to drive me nuts, but how can it Not ? He breaks every Law with a whadaya gonna do about it attitude. And it’s frightening. I studied Adolf Hitler and read Mein Kampf. The similarities are unbelievable. All these crooks, Bill Barr I’d like to punch, DeJoy screwing up the Post Office, I’m just so sick and tired.
And apparently there are 43% of the country who believe him.
That is more than a crying shame. Take Good Care of Yourself, Todd. We need the Good Guys ♥️🇺🇸♥️🌍
@William Jackson 4 years of illegal investigations with 17 lawyers that hate him and they couldn’t find one thing against him. he must be the most honest person in the world. Russia,Russia,Russia hoax
@Todd Flores SDNY they all ways want Trump there because all the judges there are loonie left democrats appointed by the big eared black president.
