"In case after case, we have advanced and defended hyperaggressive extensions of the criminal law. This is wrong, and we must stop doing it," he said in a speech during Constitution Day events at Hillsdale College, a conservative, privately funded university in Michigan.
Barr said he is annoyed by the claim that political officials interfere in criminal prosecutions, given that all prosecutorial power is vested by law in the attorney general.Some career attorneys are not partisan, he said, but they are often less experienced than their supervisors. "Name one successful organization where the lowest-level employees' decisions are deemed sacrosanct," he said."There aren't any. Letting the most junior members set the agenda might be a good philosophy for a Montessori preschool, but it's no way to run a federal agency."in his prepared remarks.
"Obama had some of the people who were in Mueller's office writing their briefs in the Supreme Court, so maybe that explains something," he said. The Obama record of wins at the Supreme Court was the worst in six decades, but Trump has fared even worse, according to an analysis by legal scholars Lee Epstein and Eric Posner. But they note that the court has been steadily less deferential to each successive administration since President Ronald Reagan's two terms.Pete Williams is an NBC News correspondent who covers the Justice Department and the Supreme Court, based in Washington.
All Barr & Trump got is each other... they're in violation of DOJ Policy etc... Thus, if Dems go at either? Barr or him Who they done complain to?
Any whistle blowers?
Is this the same guy that has decided that the US Justice department should be defending the president against a rape allegation. 🤷🏼♂️
the GOP is silent because Trump and family and Barr and the Billionaires are planning to take over the country and the Rich will rule us. it is scary that the GOP that calls themselves patriots are there destroying the country they claim to love
If your staff are going against you and you no longer have the trust of them or the country, you must resign.
My man 😎
FISA Court says DOJ lied in all four of its applications to spy on the Trump camp. Soon....very soon.
As long as AGBarr is in office, there is no justice in America. There is one country two justice systems ::: one for Trump to cover all his crimes and one for the public.
Many Obama corrupt cops in the mix.
I like this guy
Barr compares lockdown to slavery. Why did America go to civil war because a bunch of southern states wanted to binge watch Netflix, Zoom a lot, and wear their pyjamas all day? Barr Lockdown Slavery Pyjamas
Never seen an administration describe themselves while accusing others of being what they are themselves.
You reap what you sow. Put out that you support the corrupt dictator president and not the people and the constitution. Look what you get
That’s a team leader for you.
Barr you say a fair system of justice, since your arrival a fair system went out the window. The country faces a Rogue Attorney General whose repeated LIES and protecting the president from prosecution for crimes against the United States.
FrankFigliuzzi1 glennkirschner2 This must be painful to each of you. Barr's a slime. Feel sorry for the entire DOJ.
He is a complete and total disgrace.
Someone's rattled! LockHimUp
He isn’t wrong. They are left wing shills!
He admonishes his staff for not abandoning the Constitution and joining him in his role as Trump's personal hit man? As if they're the ones who are wrong? This guy is certifiably insane. RemoveBarrNow TrumpCrimeSyndicate
Short timer barr doesn't give an F what they think of him! What about the rest of us william?
The beatings will stop once morale gets better.
Reprehensible
Clean house, he is talking about the swamp.
Remarks he made at 'Constitution Day'. How's that for irony?
DOJ.. this man is not a careerist ..nor a man of America, stand your ground
Sociopath
Does career prosecutors mean Obama toadies? 👮♂️🗽🇺🇸
And here comes a flood of information out of the DOJ over all flood of shit that AG Barr has been up to after he threw the entire DOJ under the bus.
He’s not wrong...
The only pre-schooler I’ve seen is his President!
What is wrong with him? Has his arse-licking of Trump sent him bonkers.
DisBARRment This is still the United States of America
Bad ass, no excuse guy.
If your boss held a meeting and said, 'You all are too stupid to ever be a boss like me. Now fall in line and do my bidding without questioning my legal, moral, and ethical obligations' what would happen?
So the military comprises losers and suckers and now the DOJ consists of preschoolers and headhunters. Thank you trump administration.
Basically he called his staff some titty babies.
I'd say that department is shit scared their corruption will be totally exposed too
I'm for this fat ass to be setting in the next cell to the orange asshole at Rikers
Main stream media (CNN; MSNBC; ABC; CBS; NBC; PBS; NYT; BBC; NPR; etc.) Stop covering Trump 24/7/365. Start covering Biden, Kamala, Pelosi, Democrats, etc. Stop giving Trump $billions in free campaign advertising like 2016. Is it really worth selling our Democracy for ratings?
Another distraction let’s stay focused he’s trying to build up to his October lies! We all know it’s coming!
He is now trump2. Looks and sounds just like him. Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee
If you're a corrupt partisan criminal, it could seem that way.
DrainTheSwamp
What was Hitler’s fix it man called? I call Trump “son of Hitler”. Who should we call Barr. Trump can’t stay in office. Will there be any place dumb enough to hire Barr?
Main stream media (CNN; MSNBC; ABC; CBS; NBC; PBS; NYT; BBC; NPR; etc.) Stop covering Trump 24/7/365. Start covering Biden, Kamala, Democrats, etc. Stop giving Trump $billions in free campaign advertising like 2016. Is it really worth selling out our Democracy for ratings?
Barr talking about a fair justice system? Pleeeaase.
Fire Barr
This is a prime example of how the mainstream media willfully and habitually distort things to fool people. He was talking about renegade members of the justice department who act on political lines and allow rioters to go free only for them to be arrested that night again.
What a POS.
Nartist
billybarr's going to have an up close encounter with karma one day soon when he discovers there's room under that bus for him to be thrown. 😷
Any head of an agency/department/ministry who blames the employees under his supervision should resign forthwith! Barr leads them. All of them. If his subordinates fail to perform, it reflects on his leadership. Is he too utterly stupid to even realise this simple basic fact?
Is he wrong. It seems like it’s run like the Feds on the TV show Billions
Is this where he fires everyone?
Barr when asked why he keeps swinging from trumps vagina lips
This guy is completely unhinged and needs to be removed and locked up immediately before causing any more harm to our country.
Weird feeling DOJ lawyers are about to revolt.
Barr and Trump will be sharing a cell soon
This man has no embarrassment to speak to his own people like a rude dog. He should be ashamed of his own toddler behavior.
Why the fuk is he getting away with his BS!!!
Barr preferably wants to take attention off of possible corruptions, and by even trying to pass a bill that says not to look into possible corruption of politicians, so...? I'm sure if opposite party were in the high chair, then the pressure would be similar too
What would Barr know about a fair system of justice? He does Trumps bidding.
Someone didn’t get his way
Bill Barr needs to be impeached. Period.
Says the lapdog of donnie trump!
BarrMustGo
Well, heads are going to roll now, for sure.
Research is proving that the Quran is a true miracle
Hey sack em all and replace with Trump Cronies like Barr... Oh, he already is...
JUST HAVE TO LOOK AT SWEDEN. NO LOCKDOWN, NO JOBS LOST, Few Deaths, NO BULLYING, FINES.., NO SLAVESS... they have FREEDOMS.
Barr should be disbarred.
Barr is a unstable ,fanatic .
Please say that the DOJ overthrows the presidents attorney.
Too much deference is given to career prosecutors, rather than to politically appointed leaders who can be held accountable at the ballot box, he said in remarks likely to further strain relations between Barr and some of the Justice Department's career prosecutors. Chicken shit
How are career DOJ workers not speaking out against Barr? He throws them under the bus time and time again... F him...
Trump is clearly showing direct and immediate signs of a desperate individual, the lunacy, lies, rhetoric, sheer ignorance and arrogance are typical signs of a narcissist, desperate to win an election rather than protect the lives of millions of humans. He is killing people daily
FascistBarr the CoverUpGeneral says what?
This administration hates everything about itself
Very 'Trumpesque', to say the least. Mr. Barr adopted the style rather quickly. If you can't fire them for cause, humiliate and harass them out of the job. That's the preferred tactic of the TOCS, short for members of the Trump Organized Crime Syndicate.
Nancy Pelosi, it's time to start impeachment proceedings against attorney general Barr!
Always the banana republic corruption. tRump's cult is oddly disinterested in their SexOffenderInChief's magnetized connection to so many other sex offenders: Trump Supporting Ex-Judge (and tRump's KY campaign manager) Arrested for Child Sex Crimes
Scathing remarks against bad troops is generally what any General would normally do.
Projecting like a mofo!
Barr appears to be coming apart at the seams He LIED and Misled America in the findings of the Mueller Report And NOW He is ABUSING POWER by turning the DOJ into a partisan attack dog.
Barr is cleaning off the way to the next round
This guy has some stones. Head of law with a flagrant disregard for it.
