In a rare rebuke, Attorney General Bill Barr admits Trump makes his job harder by tweeting, but still stands by helping convicted Trump aide, Roger Stone. MSNBC’s Ari Melber reports on why Barr is trying to quell the bipartisan firestorm over stepping in to “take charge” of the Stone case by reducing his sentence and why Barr is essentially saying he backs the plan but just don’t admit it on Twitter. (This interview is from MSNBC’s “The Beat with Ari Melber, a news show covering politics, law and culture airing nightly at 6pm ET on MSNBC. ). Aired on 02/13/20.

Besieged AG Barr Knocks Trump But Still Backs Plot To Help Convicted Trump Aide | MSNBC
Who takes these people still serious………playing the public is what they are doing all the time. The “big bear Barr” is trying to be as “big” as the “orange bear Trump”.
@Kalvin Celcius Kalvin didn’t you mention before that you’re HOMOSEXUAL?🤔
tinyurl.com/rpyeaej
@Tor Finn your master is not smart enough to troll anyone just like you moron
Bruce Boring Trump makes you angry enough to post your opinions. LOL. Trump is your master and you’re too low IQ to even understand this fact. Every time you post your ignorant opinion about Trump, Trump is taking up residence in your pea brain bro. 😂
Rubbish.
@Tor Finn and here you are posting your opinions moron way to own yourself moron
Roger Stone puts crosshairs on Judge 🎯, Trump Tweets 🐥, DOJ reduces sentence for convicted criminal 🏛, American law = Banana republic 🌴 DK Country, Donald J Trump = King K. Rool 🐊
We’re Donkey and Diddy 🙈🙊
We’re only fighting for bananas after this point 🍌
Just happened under your very eyes ‼️
Goldwater should have killed him during Watergate
Stone was convicted by an illegal jury. The case must be re-tried or dismissed. No double jeopardy.
As if this isn’t totally staged by Barr to make it look like he is pushing back against Trump. Of course he isn’t.
He is filth.
The AG is required to be non-partisan. His boss is the Prez. He is no more “filth” than you are.
@john emeigh you think barr is non partisan ha ha ha yes you are a cult member
It doesn’t work.
I COMMENTED THE SAME THING YOU HAVE EARLIER.
It’s just for show they are all in it up to their necks the same necks that they will hopefully hang from
It’s not hard to fool the faux news crowd 2 percent of them believe the earth is flat
Now the Evangelical types supporting a whoring crook I do not understand
I do not see anything great or worth keeping from that crowd
CORRUPTED DEEP STATE Donald Trump protecting his CRIMINAL FRIEND Roger Stone… The White House is now a SAFE HAVEN for CRIMINALS… Next Jim Jordan and Michael Flynn… Are We Great Again Yet?👍😉
@William H #shitholeracist
Incorrect. Stone was convicted by an illegal jury. The jury for-person was hugely biased. By law, that is not allowed.
@john emeigh watch a lot of Fox?
@john emeigh ha ha ha you look more ignorant with every post you make moron
Alot better that with 44s wingman.
Wish Florida had true Americans senators. Cuba Rubio. Russia Scott are disgrace to their country country.
Traitors just like the orange felon.
@V The real traitors are the red communists. Why is orange the only word that dosn’t ryhme? Think about it.
He’s enbraced your oragne agenda.
3 yrs of it lol
No, they are not.
Get involved for genuine representation.
And Pamy Bondi
all barr is saying is, _”if you want me to corrupt our justice system I’m more than happy to do so. just ask me in private.”_
@William H BLOCKED & REPORTED as a TRUMPANZZE CRETIN.
That’s false. He didn’t become AG through corruption. You don’t like that he’s square business; that’s OK. That’s on you.
@V Excellent reply to William H.
@john emeigh the guy directed the iran-contra cover-up… r u kidding?
James Oxford no that’s not what he said, god are you stupid, really.
Let me dumb it down for all. BARR telling trump to stop putting him on blast. I got you dont put the spot light on me.
And Trump will probably ignore the feedback. Doesn’t listen, loves to be in front of a camera, and can’t shut up even if he doesn’t know anything.
Take a bow Mr. President.
They’re such mobsters
Good luck with that Barr, Trump will only double on his incompetence.
@J Cat No they Klan
Exactly….Barr a “down low” dude, trump’s a diva….
2 says until Barr gets fired
No he won’t get fired until he either starts trying to upstage trump or defy trump. Right now he’s donald’s goose and those eggs are golden.
Nope. Barry’s a POS, but he’s a useful POS. If Trump wanted to get rid of him he’d just thank Barr for taking care of his big Jeff problem.
there is no one in this administration who doesnt lie on a daily basis
That is false.
James Dean Dems always get emotional like women.😂
Armando Villanueva not true. Trump lies no less than Obama who lied no less than Bush who lied no less than…. you’re exceptionally naive if you believe otherwise.
Ladies and Gentlemen welcome to the latest dose of Republicon bs.
Peter Bills – LOL!
Correction, REPTILIAN PARTY B.S.
The AG and Prez are just enforcing the existing laws. They are doing this in a case that was woefully rigged. Correcting a wrong, if you will.
@john emeigh ok moron keep swallowing you masters lies he depends on your ignorance
barr to individual 1 please quit tweeting it is exposing our corruption
William H For bigots stupid is forever.
Individual one has the same First Amendment rights as you and I do.
@john emeigh way to miss the point moron
@William H PROJECTING AGAIN.
@Peter Bills thanks i am not very good at using a keyboard
The Trump crime family is a New York Mafia that has done what five mafia families never could.
Completely corrupt the justice system
The russian mob too!!
Incorrect. The five families were only partially able to buy off the legal system. The Trumps are a legal entity, a corporation, if you will. They’ve paid oodles in taxes.
SaltMerchant
I keep waiting for the punchline.. like literally
🤦♀️🌏👊😁
i’m surprised that they let him get away with it… even the mafia stood up during wwII, unlike trumputin’s family.
Not satisfactory. Barr also allows Trumps Biden investigation to continue, while disallowing other investigations into Trump. He needs to resign.
If it is impossible to do his job, he needs to resign. Did he not also interfere with the judge in this same case. He is just covering his butt.
AG Barr is a snake 🐍,, don’t trust anything he says or does 📢
The only thing that makes it halfway bearable to watch is the satisfaction of knowing Trump will be President for four more years.Oh yea and knowing the after election pathetic democrat Cry-0-Thon is going to be priceless, hopefully they’ll wear their pink vagina hats while crying ,is that asking to much?
@William H BLOCKED & REPORTED as a REPTILIAN PARTY – QUISLING & a CRETINOUS TRUMPANZZE.
@John Carter BLOCKED & REPORTED as a REPTILIAN-QUISLING, CRETINOUS TRUMPANZZE.
He’s disgusting. He needs to be removed asap. He’s destroying your country and the world.
@Maga 4Eva3 BLOCKED & REPORTED as a REPTILIAN -QUISLING PARTY CRETIN.
john emeigh that was an idiotic comment haha
@2be Blunt its the only kind he makes
Cynthia M no the country is better god your stupid, really.
Bill Barr is a waste of time, yeah right Barr then quit!!!! You had no right to side with trump. You don’t work for trump but for the ppl.
he cant quit he is not done destroying the doj yet
It’s just a show. People are defined by their actions, not by the lies they tell.
@Shelley Ross Right! We are talking about the law of the land & justice. Russian trolls are novices to righteousness, so they imagine it to be a show.
@Shelley Ross EXACTLY.
@Marie Light
Another in a long line of cover ups.
@ H ALI, I SOMEWHAT DISAGREE. PEOPLE ARE DEFINED BY THERE ACTIONS, YES BUT, THE LIES THEY TELL ARE CLEARLY DEFINED AS AN ACTION.. JUST MY THOUGHTS .
Exactly, and Barr has shown his colors again and again.
Barr has ruined my love of the Flintstones forever, he’s the real life doppelganger of Fred.
I was watching an old Star Wars movie and to my surprise there was Barr the real Jabba The Hutt. Yep” Barr is Jabba The Hutt. 😁
3LD 🤣🤣🤣
He certainly wants to send the department of justice back into the stone age.
Me too
In other words, Barr:”Boss, if you want me to help protect your buddies you need to shut up.”
The AG is required to be non-partisan, by law.
@john emeigh and you believe he is how cultish of you
Exactly.
Yep
more dis – information from the crimial admimistration!
