Humiliating Rebuke: Trump AG Barr Held In 'Criminal Contempt' | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC

  1. It’s b.s. that any one of us, the citizens, would go to jail in this circumstance, but they’ll be instead sitting in their big offices on our tax-funded salaries like any normal day.

    1. HAS EVERYONE FORGOTTEN, THEY “STOLE TAX-PAYERS MONEY THEY WERE FOR TO RECEIVE FOR 2019 ?? AND “ALAN DERSHOWITZ” WENT CARZY BECAUSE PEOPLE WERE CALLING AND ASKING “WHERE AND WHAT HAPPENED TO THEIR TAX RETURNS”, GO AND FIND THE VIDEO ABOUT IT !!

  2. Barr has no honor nor does he have a. sense of shame, so anything shy of sending him to jail has no meaning to him.

    1. pretty sure he is motivated by shame of the kompromat Putin has, like many of the GOP senators and congressmen. unlike the rusted on racists like Ross, Barr seems very scared and ashamed, it’s just that he has already done the deal with the devil and he has no where to run.

    2. @eric klekot Blatantly lying about the Mueller report. Any normal person would be ashamed to be caught in such an egregious lie, but Barr isn’t. If you didn’t see that play out right in front of your face, I’m not going to bother gathering more examples for someone who intentionally puts their hands over their eyes and says “I don’t see any proof.”

  3. Swamp is draining.
    Dems,keep up the good work.
    👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

    1. T Boned – he used his plane to impress people, not just for girls. You don’t use your car just for one thing, do you?

    2. @Kirk DuBois Climate leglislation. Global warming? The climate has been changing for millions of years. They would like to blame carbon emissions because it fits their agenda. It is bogus.

      Trump is tackling both big pharma and the tech giants. It will be done.

  4. barr, trump, mcconnell, graham…put them all in front of a firing squad for treason…they don’t have americans interests in heart…they only care about the 1%

    1. Diana & Ellen – The scrub ‘snapped’ and had a few spammy-post spasms, so it appears… 🤯
      “Sad!” 😂

    2. @Diana Hulstine doesnt matter whether you believe me or not. im more american than you’ll ever be. i get a vote too…..just like i have since 19880(john b anderson)…………..self-righteous idiots like you make my choice easy.

    3. You people really are crazy – the Dems are just a joke – you have no morals or ethics .

  5. FINE THEM DAILY! If they don’t pay, lock them up. They are the worst type of criminals: those with power in the government.

    1. AND THIS IS EXACTLY WHY THE 1%’ERS FELT IS WAS TIME TO GO INTO “DICTATOR-MODE”, ALL PRAISES TO THE “MOST HIGH” FOR EXPOSING THEM TO ALL BROWN PEOPLES AND PEOPLES OF COLOR, WE ALREADY KNEW HOW ESAU’S CONDUCTED THEMSELVES, BUT IT’S NOTHING LIKE BEING EXPOSED TO THE ENTIRE WORLD, AND I SAY AGAIN THANK YOU GOD !!!! THEY DESERVE IT AND THEN SOME, AND WE’LL LET THE “MOST HIGH” HANDLE THAT….

  6. “Nobody is above the law” really!! So why does Barr and Trump keep breaking the law and nobody is taking ACTION. But everybody is TALKING about it.

    1. There is no action to take or they would..figure it out..fake news dont help you..seek the truth..change the channel

    2. APPARENTLY TRUMP, AG BARR, THE SENATE, THE CONGRESS, THE JUDICIARY SYSTEM, LAW ENFORCEMENT, THE COURTS SYSTEM, ALL HAVE PROVEN JUST THAT, AND RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES, AT THAT. !!!! BECAUSE EVERY SYSTEM THAT HAS BEEN “ILLEGALLY-SET UP IN THE UNITED HAS BEEN PROVING IT”, EVERY WAKING DAY FOR CENTURIES, AND HAS CONTINOUSLY LIED TO THE PEOPLE ALSO FOR CENTURIES. THIS IS WHY THEIR SYSTEMS ARE DEEM BY THE “MOST HIGH” TO BE ILLEGAL, CORRUPT, AND UNJUST. …. BECAUSE THEY ARE ! AND YOU AS WELL AS WE ALL KNOW IT FOR A FACT !!!!

    3. @Ragnar Lothbrok none of that counts..we are all suppose to be democratic sujects..so they can rule as they see fit..

  7. With Ross what you need to do is strip him of all his assets and his clothes and deport him to Central America. he will get the idea after less than 24 hours.

    1. Wilbur Ross clearly died years ago. That is obviously a corpse being manipulated by strings, _a la_ “weekend at Bernie’s”

    1. @Diana Hulstine Bad dem you hoarding guns. You hypocrite. Keep voting dem and all you guns be gone. I’ll be sure to show them this post lol

    2. @Tanya Swedlund Consider that, if Trump is removed, it will be through legal channels supported by the Constitution, and that the Constitution – not the President – is protected by the United States armed forces. And that any civil uprising that stands in opposition to that removal, and thereby the Constitution, would be met with swift and unapologetic justice.

      If Trump is removed, you will do nothing. His Red Hats will do nothing. Because you will all know better. Hopefully.

      Although you might be right. I’ve never dreamt of seeing a crowd of Red Hats shot with rubber bullets and tear gas. So maybe I really would see things I’ve never dreamt.

  8. one law for the rich and powerful; another law for you and me: the more that the rich and powerful are not held accountable for their misdeeds — the more THE PEOPLE thirst for their blood…

    1. Daryl, Trump did not commit any crimes the rich and famous will always be held less accountable! The Smollett case was insane!

    2. @Michael John Angel Here we are the universe, conscious of itself, many of us seeing the patterns of historical behavior repeated over and over again — and unable to do anything about it. What a force is this population genetics that drive us mob-like as are those proverbial lemmings…

    3. THERE ARE THREE(3) LAWS THAT OPERATE FOR A FACT IN THE UNITED, AND THEY HAVE ALL BEEN “EXPOSED”
      1) THE LAWS FOR THE RICH, 2) THE LAWS FOR SO-CALLED WHITES/REDS, AND 3) THE “UNJUST LAWS” FOR BROWN AND PEOPLE OF COLOR, AND LIKE I’VE SAID THIS IS A “PROVEN TO THE WORLD FACT.”

  9. In reality, the entire republican party is in criminal contempt for it’s unscrupulous servile behavior when it comes to Trump’s authoritarian nature, and his blatant disregard for law and order, and the Constitution.

    1. @Olive Rock Can you prove this?? If not go home and in roll in a real civics class. CNN and MSNBC does not count.

    2. @Tanya Swedlund A quick examination of your channel reveals an _excessive_ consumption of conspiracy and religious content; sorry, I don’t owe a delusional person an answer when I already know you’re going to do any number of logical loops to ignore it.

    1. TRUMP AND THE REPUBLICANS HAVE “LAWLESSNESS RUNNING THE ENTIRE COUNTRY.” SO WHAT ELSE IS “OLD.”

  10. As if the Attorney General or trump and his cult like supporters care about the law.. or the Constitutional powers of the American Congress..

    1. @Trumpty Dumpty your fall is coming! – Oh yeah, they’re a cult. They fit every level of the BITE model, angrily rebuke anyone that questions the perfection and infallibility of their cult leader, deny any reality that challenges their beliefs, threaten violence against those who don’t believe… And they all wear the same hat.

    2. cult like wow racist comment constitutional power of the executive branch i assume you can only see it one way sad

  11. If rhis was reversed the Republicans would love to have put Democrats in jail. I dont remember any Dems pulling this crap when the Republicans put a whole lot of crap on trial just to embarrass the Dems

    1. yep, I hope a few of them will take time off. Lots of ugly people on camera these days. Too funny.

    2. REPUBLICANS WANT TO “PINKY & THE BRAIN” THE ENTIRE WORLD, “THIS IS THEIR ONE TRUE DESIRE, AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN.” BROWN PEOPLE AND PEOPLE OF COLOR HAVE KNOWN THIS FOR AT LEAST 60-70 YEARS. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO TO PROVE IT IS, 1) WATCH CERTAIN MOVIES, 2) LISTEN TO THEIR DAILY RETORIC, 3) CHECK OUT HOW THEIR JUSTICE SYSTEM “DON’T” WORK FOR BROWN AND PEOPLE OF COLOR, AND L-A-S-T BUT NOT LEAST 4) LOOK AT HOW THEY HAVE ALWAYS TREATED BROWN AND PEOPLE OF COLOR….HORRENDOUS AT BEST AND TURN AROUNG AND DEEM THEMSELVES “NOT GUILTY”, WELL GUESS WHAT THE “MOST HIGH SAYS YOU ARE GUILTY AND HE’S GOING TO PUNISH YOU WITH DEATH”, SO THERE YOU GO !! YOU CAN MAKE YOUR MOUTH SAY WHATEVER YOU WANT, BUT THE “MOST HIGH” ALWAYS, BUT ALWAYS, HAS THE “LAST WORD IN ALL MATTERS.”

  12. What a shame to the justice system of this country. Her Laws are only meant for the weak, the poor, the middle class and in most cases for the coloured people. The rich, the politicians, or elites are all above the Law. Though, she’s supposedly referred to as the land of freedom and liberty but her justices system is no different in practice to Russia, China, Syria or other Banana’s Republic.

    1. ALL THE SYSTEMS SET UP IN THE UNITED STATES AND IN ALL EUROPEAN COUTRIES ARE UNJUST AND UNLAWFUL
      AND CORRUPT, WHERE BROWN AND PEOPLE OF COLOR ARE CONCERNED, SO GO ON AND LIE TO YOURSELVES, BUT YOU WILL BE JUDGED BY GOD AS TO THIS “FACT BEING THE TRUTH.”
