The Anti-Barr: Biden's AG Pick Vows To Investigate MAGA Rioters | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC
When Barr and Garland are night and day, what is “Justice?”
huh?
Not allowing fascists to hold public office is a good start… i.e., everyone Trump appointed was corrupt.
Everyone who was involved in Capitol Building violence should be arrested and charged for Terrorism.
@max idk They attacked buildings, federal courthouses, and murdered innocent people. At this point, they’re nothing more than terrorists. Their cause doesn’t matter. They’re fascists either way. You can claim there is no group, but we all know that’s a lie. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have shown up, gathered in groups while wearing riot gear. Pretending to ignore it is like pretending that the capitol riot never happened.
@Callie Smith What major leaders, Biden won, why would he try to overturn an election he won?
@Callie Smith ok
@Spider Taylor The so called “representatives” who disobey their constituents all the time. Both sides do this, Biden does this, it happens all the time in government. They caused these stupid wars and they can lay in the bed that they made for themselves.
@Callie Smith Biden didn’t instruct his supporters to charge the Capitol Building.
He should have been on scotus. He’s a good man. As AG, he’ll do his job, and President Biden won’t interfere. Please stop talking about the former guy, unless he’s sitting at the defendant’s table.
I guess you could say….the previous AG set a pretty low….Barr. 😉
I’ll show myself the door now.
Therefore, you could ad that he should be behind the Barrs.
@Adrien St-Julien 👏👏
And he’ll deserve it for being an accomplice to the worst president in history, Barr none. 😛😝
You’re killing me
Looks like there’s a new Sheriff in town.
Merrick Garland is more qualified than Bret kavanaugh, Amy barrett and Gorsuch
All 3 of them out together
@Sweger Shanna
Absolutely agree
Why ???? Because he is a Democrat??
@Sally Arey BECAUSE he is human .
Merrick Garland is going to prosecute Trump supporters who stormed the Capitol.
Yay. Consequences.
Im liking this guy already
Sen Durbin is worth listening to. He uses reasoning rather than rhetoric.
When will the MUELLER REPORT be released to Congress!!! All the witness testimony also!!??!
Barr hid a lot of investigations!!!
Its out there…if your not hearing about it its because it was censored…. the report did NOT favor the justice dept or the democratic party at all
Yes! There’s still 900 redactions!
There’s a time and a season. This is the reason He was not appointed in the Supreme Court. We need him now as AG of America.
Just as President Biden both ran & thankfully, for the sake of democracy—was Elected.
It’s so scary to live it tho… So all of us will be historically noted that it was a scary and desperate time; Keeping democracy alive
What I ‘appreciate’ (quotes bc DEPT OF JUSTICE – should Never have been Politicized).
I really like Garland. Seems like just who we need right now to clean up Trump’s massive mess of corruption.
We’re going to investigate and prosecute treasonous insurrectionists. Talk about low hanging fruit.
Hopefully he will investigate Barr and Graham!
Howlllley, low bar rafael, madge, larryen bobo, doorMatt Rosendale, insanator Daines…
I cannot understand that the USA sends a vehicle to Mars and is unable to feed millions citizens.
You’re gonna cry about .48% of our budget?
@Roger Out You are surely not crying about the suffering and lives lost, are you? But if it effects you or your family, it is just less than .001 pro mil of the population.
Not unable, unwilling.
I feel like saying America is a failed state now…but it is not true yet and we must have faith.
Wait, nominating a Judge to do law stuff? That makes so much sense, it feels a little weird right now.
And they need to investigate who all was involved with the terrorists because they had help from the inside.
He’s going to be an extraordinary AG!!!
When one door is closed, another one opens. Empathetic, qualified, experienced and professionalism. Needed now!
