Former Attorney General Bill Barr: His Journey and the Law

A longtime guardian of strong presidential power, Bill Barr - one of only two people in American history to serve twice as Attorney General - evolved from Donald Trump’s most skilled and proficient policy defenders to calling the former president, among other things, “detached from reality.” But unlike many conservatives who have turned against his former boss, Barr has continued to pave his own complex and colorful public persona, hewing closely to the beliefs that brought him into public life. Moderated by CBS News chief legal correspondent Jan Crawford.

Poor bill he's trying so very hard to save his behind knowing "History has its eyes on you."

[@silva7493]

Bill barr condone trumps behavior

[@alziraaraujo6872]

Nobody is above the law.not even trump .he needs to pay for everything he did and said.

[@suttonmatthew]

Justice Thomas is a legitimate target of public accountability. It’s not a partisan initiative, but a public trust issue.

[@tomnohmy1273]

Does he have a librarian in his library

[@ellentaylor4351]

Not a person to trust or believe, an enabler to TRUMP🇺🇸🗣

[@johnmc128]

Some one should have asked him why he isn't in prison.

[@benniecleveland7092]

Vote blue to keep these clowns out of office.

[@87PAULINO1]

The whole problem is, sinful humans in charge of the world!

[@johnnafunkhouser5999]

Ewww. Barr belongs in jail. Shame on you people

[@SewardSarpolor]

You were Trump most personal defender and protector. So what is the function of the DOJ In UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT?

[@alziraaraujo6872]

Mr bill Bar you should let the Americans people hnew what was in the report.we have the right to hnow,how the president do bussines in the white house.we were confused, and at that time we didn't trust either one of you.we hnew you were covering for trump.

[@michaelpalmer9826]

What a load of horse manure coming from a guy to supported trump for 2 years. Barr only turned against trump after he lost and he had to save his reputation.

[@danmcgurn9672]

Barr disses the new working class Republicans, calls them angry and [ignorant]

[@SusiFroggyPorter]

The previous attorney general should go to jail for interfering with our justice system. In my eyes he has no credibility whatsoever and should be disbarred indefinitely

[@SLHJR0390]

This guy belongs in jail, the original enabler.

[@arlington9094]

What ignorance!

[@johnmackniskas891]

He should be apologizing to the American people

[@deanlangdon3976]

Retribution (!)? : Bill...a Trump win 2024 would be the end of Democracy. Bill...you surely must know that a, Trump unfettered, would be chaos. His selected legal team would give an absolutely green light...to rule. A personal dynasty.q

Bill Barr’s book is a great read. The balanced judgment he brings to issues, albeit conservative, is a model others should take to heart. Example - re: criticism of the Courts - “it depends on whose ox is being gored” [how true this is for so many matters in life]. The U.S. would do well if he could be President; unfortunately it seems his balanced style is largely limited to his generation. While Trump is a lesser evil than anyone the Democrats will feasibly offer in 2024, Trump’s sniping at Mr. Barr give me pause and show how at least one side of Trump is pathetically small and petty.

[@armandhammer3782]

I smell RINO schitt. 🤔

[@tomnohmy1273]

Not a fan of mr Barr but totally agree about free speech, expression, we can't cancel out those we disagree with, just dont listen, dont kick the speaker out.

[@bsonder]

There is no degeneration of Biden’s health, Bill. Ha!

[@tomnohmy1273]

I didn't serve as attorney general twice. I never mention it

Best Attorney General ever!!

[@studydude]

Like him or not, he is a decent critic of Trump.

[@johnmc128]

He's very biast in favor of republicans and not honestly critical enough of trump and his enablers.

[@lilanigunaratnam4200]
