Bill Barr condemns alleged Trump conduct, calls former president a "consummate narcissist"

Bill Barr, who served as attorney general under former President Donald Trump, tells "Face the Nation" that the former president is a "consummate narcissist" who "constantly engages in reckless conduct that puts his political followers at risk and the conservative political agenda at risk." While Trump has not yet been convicted of a crime or what a possible sentence would be, Barr said "I don't like the idea of a former president serving time in prison."

If only Bill Barr had the cahones to say ANYTHING during the administration

[@Thebigskullman]

Exaactly. I really hate how these spineless things are always brought on TV after what they did in the Trump era. When you sell your soul, there’s no buybacks. You can pretend you’ve got a backbone all you want when the heat isn’t on anymore, but regardless your words now no longer matter. They hold utterly no weight.

[@MajorAnthonyNelson]

[@FUCKMAGA45]

They are cowards.

[@amg5656]

It's far worse than that, because Barr helped Trump do exactly what Trump is now (wrongly) accusing Biden of doing, namely politicizing the DOJ. Barr initiated the Durham investigation, which was obviously aimed at punishing anyone who investigated the Trump-Russia connections and discrediting any findings in that area. He pardoned Flynn and Bannon, but he tried to prevent Bolton from publishing his memoir about the Trump administration. He turned the DOJ into Trump's enforcer. Nonetheless, it does matter that he's forcing viewers to hear the truth about the documents case.

@@keithmurray9241 It's very political for Barr to make any such assessment of Trump, given the political fire the left would like Trump to fall into.

Hillary did NOT get a pass. They had nothing on which to indict her. Having her own server was not ILLEGAL! And none of the current Classified Materials statutes that govern civilians even contemplates EMAIL because that technology came along later and doesn’t apply. They all knew that. Any judge that would have heard her case would have had to dismiss it because those statutes would have to be warped beyond recognition to apply them to emails. That would be akin to creating a new law ex post facto to apply. The plain text republicans would have been doing contortions to try and make that work..
