House Dems have accused AG Bill Barr of attempting to re-write history, in his latest attempt to block a subpoena for Trump’s personal financial records. Judiciary Committee member Congressman Jeffries joins The Beat, and calls Barr’s actions a ‘shame.’ Jeffries argues Trump’s personal finance records ‘could show potential evidence of criminality’ and he wants to share ‘that information with the American people.’

Rep Jeffries: Barr Has Flushed His 'Integrity Down The Toilet' | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC
Barr has no credibility whatsoever.
Alistair Razi NONE at ALL !!!
Barr is tRumps revenge on the judicial system.The old saying goes what goes around comes around.And I can’t wait to see this happen.✌
👆WTF? 👆
But this is precisely what the Federalist Society has promised they will do if put in power; they do not believe in democracy but rather a “Constitutional Aristocracy” which they intend to be the rulers of.

Once the Dems get his taxes…which they eventually will, it’s all over for the Donald.
So, when are they gonna but Barr in PRISION? They will probably have fun with him in there..hands on
@Joe Wilson It was never a University – he broke the law by calling it such.
@Joe Wilson yup Treydor Gowdys 14 witch hunts Benghaaaaaaazzzi for 4 years?? Glad that despicable pig is finally gone. 22 republikkklan Senate seats up for grabs in 2020. Let’s take down all of them. BLUE 2020. Warren and Sanders champions of we the people!!
THIS is the ROT running the country….Barr is running ” interference” to shield Trump’s ROT !! According to Hannity…. even x President Obama is scheduled for ” arrest” !! These people(?) are waaay BEYOND disgusting and despicable !!!
Josh Edmonds no, nothing you’ve said can be proven. You are lying and misrepresenting the truth. It boggles the mind how people who profess some degree of intelligence can be so utterly and deliberately stupid 🤦♀️
@Josh Edmonds how many killed each year in the US because of your stupid gun laws? 70 something in LV, Parkland 10 ish, Daytona, etc and that is just recent mass shootings.
Jeffries is amazing in congressional hearings; love his boldness and frankly his prosecutorial tone. I’m also a fan of Melber, but he needs some beauty rest and a facial / laser facial – no offense. Check it out, does wonders. (So sad to watch a sweet thing die…) But anyway, two minds I respect and enjoy watching comment on this moment in history. Fun to see them together. (Rep Jeffries is looking Good, tho.)
Caroline K. I LOVE your commentary. Funny and so true. 😁👏👏
Did Barr *ever* have integrity? I don’t think so.
Mary Rodger : Thats my view.. He has probably never had integrity, but, now we all know his true evil character..
Mary Rodger precisely
Fat Trumpist Rat. Must be kin to Grossane Barr.
He never had integrity, but at one time he had a reputation for it. Now, he has declared outright that he doesn’t even worry about his good name. All part of his Trumpification.
Below Barr’s job is to keep Trump above the law.
It’s shameful.
His behavior though is precisely in keeping with the Federalist Society cult’s interpretation of a unitary (but only if it’s a Republican) executive. Almost all of Trump’s federal bench nominees and all of the SCOTUS republicans belong to this cult.

Vote! Enough is enough.
Barr already ignored a subpoena so he bought himself 20 years in jail already. these fascists are all in on Trump, that will be their undoing.
@Mainely That’s what I said.
Why did you think they hired him? For that specific reason…the complete lack of integrity, he’s garbage.
Eric holder fast and furious
@Thomas Armsworthy Jr I love how Trumps idiots and the right wing learned ZERO from the Bush administration!!! They too had “fun” for 8 years and then every single thing happened after that was a consequence of those 8 years…what do you think the consequence of the Trump admin will be?? They never learn, but wait and you’ll see.
Thank you for representative Jeffries I wish we could remove him he lied at his confirmation hearings and he’s going to represent American people but then again all the people who are with Trump lie
The cover-up stench of trumps tax returns etc is getting unbearable.
Money laundering.
Barr is surely now an accomplis to any trump crimes …… he knows what he has to try to hide to keep his criminal boss out of jail .
Barr has no ethics, no morals, no conscience! Barr is a disgrace to the justice system! No one would make him an AG unless that one is Trump! Did the corporate dems agreed to get Barr the position he is in? Disgusting !
Barr is unfortunately doing precisely what the Federalist Society members have promised they would when they got into power. They will trash our Constitution as they re-interpret it to support their right wing bias; this is the Republican strategy for getting around the fact they are not the majority in America.

They had nothing to do with it, a President recommends, the Senate, REPUBLICAN! approves and appoints.
Please stop calling Trump “Leader of the free world”; that’s a title he long ago flushed down his twitter toilet.
@Judy Bargenquast Correct, I don’t understand these folks. When we had a Legitimate President they wasn’t “respecting the office” it was “Obama”.
@Toni Sumblin He said it again? He is actually serious, I am truly terrified. People need to wake up and start taking action. He’s signaling Putin for help again, that’s why he’s talking about reinstating him/Russer in the G7.
Eagle I didn’t agree with some things with Obama but he did help our economy – the one T is trying to take credit for. And the Obamas are very gracious and classy people. Nothing like this POS train wreck hiding in the WH now.
Eagle Watch what he does leading up to the election. He will be arranging things to protect him with our military and/or police so he can stay. We need to be very clear that he has to go. I am sure Barr is working behind the scenes. The women who replaced the Prison master at the jail with Epstein is the same woman Barr had placed in that position before. You know something is up with that.
trump knows all these bullsh#t excuses he’s giving to not respond to subpoenas, or hand over his tax records will fail, he’s just delaying and wasting time. Until, trump hopes, the election is over.
Impeachment isn’t just for the President. Impeach and remove Barr….. he is clearly corrupt.
Everblue Freediving Agree completely!
Barr already ignored a subpoena so he bought himself 20 years in jail already. these fascists are all in on Trump, that will be their undoing.
@Enstigator Official Trump said today that he doesnt think he should leave office. I have said for awhile now that the senile narcissistic criminal fraud will NEVER allow himself to walk out of the WH and into indictments and jail. He will contest the election if he loses, suspend elections, declare martial law… or try to… fascists hate intellecthals and they dont negotiate. You have to defeat them….win or die.
I keep going back to when a U.S. President takes their Oath of Office, “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.” Trump has failed this oath from day 1..
Bill Barr is a disgrace. Why is he protecting this sick, corrupt man???? He disgusts me.
Money, my friend. Barr has a price and Trump found it.
His father was involved with Epstein. Then he tried to hide the facts of the Mueller report, Noriego Contra Iran.
Anybody that sides with Trump, their integrity is down the toilet.
INDEED!
Yes, but it is a gold toilet.
Partisan politics.
Nothing else.
Maga 2020
The Secret Service must be pulling their hair out.. Trips like this (to Denmark) take months of preparation (logistics, security, etc.). Also, by saying nothing about Trump’s anti-semitic comments, Jared & Ivanka follow the Jewish faith/ideology only when it suits them..
Barr flushed everything down the toilet the day he sided for dump.
It’s time for a new president and lock this terrorist up.
Isn’t the main reason trump picked barr was to save his orange butt?!
Barr and his daddy were “close” friends of Epstein!!!
Yes. Have you heard of the Epstein-Barr virus ? It’s a real virus. But how uncanny…
What a coincidence ! The “Epstein-Barr Virus” according to Wikipedia is an ” Infection with EBV occurs by the oral transfer of saliva[13] and genital secretions ”
Barr is a criminal like the rest of them.
Bill Barr, Moscow Mitch and so many others are corrupt and for sale to anyone but especially to Putin’s Russia, they follow their corrupt boss Donald Trump, the original traitor. Open your eyes stupid Trump supporters, open your eyes!!!
