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.

  1. 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”.

    1. 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. 😂

  2. 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 ‼️

  3. 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.

    1. 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

  4. 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?👍😉

    1. Incorrect. Stone was convicted by an illegal jury. The jury for-person was hugely biased. By law, that is not allowed.

    1. @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

  5. 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.”_

    1. 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.

  6. 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.

    1. 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.

    1. 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.

    2. 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.

    1. 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.

    1. 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.

  7. The Trump crime family is a New York Mafia that has done what five mafia families never could.
    Completely corrupt the justice system

    1. 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.

    2. i’m surprised that they let him get away with it… even the mafia stood up during wwII, unlike trumputin’s family.

  8. 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.

    1. 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?

  9. 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.

    1. @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.

    2. @ 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 .

    1. 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. 😁
