Former Deputy Attorney General Donald Ayer joins MNSBC Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber to discuss AG Bill Barr’s intervention in DOJ cases to protect convicted Trump aide Roger Stone. Ayer, who also preceded Barr as deputy attorney general under President George H. Bush, argues Barr’s “pattern of conduct that he’s engaged in since he came in” as Attorney General involves “intervening out of usual course to protect Donald Trump.” Ayer adds Barr is not “fit for the office” as his “campaign” as AG works to “undermine the Department of Justice.” (This interview is from MSNBC’s “The Beat with Ari Melber, a news show covering politics, law and culture airing nightly at 6pm ET on MSNBC. ). Aired on 02/13/20.

Govt needs better laws that governs itself … right now it’s clearly a joke
@Robert B – Why is it you seem to be voicing the Oligarch line like a good little anonymous comrade puppet ? ! ?
@Cap’n Slipp we largely have a president overstepping into both the legislative and judicial branches while weaponizing tweeter and personal friends.
Where were you during the Obama years?
@Cap’n Slipp – Capt. Shifty, go back to your good little shipp : The Oligarch Epoch News. All the propanganda you can spew for a measley subversive quarter. Good job for your Masters there, Anonymous Sailor !
@V That dirty commie neolibral fascist. I hear he framed Roger Rabbit.
Lock him up too
@Pam Schobelock Nope
@Michael Morton Fake news
@Keith Morrison so Peter stzrok changing five references of gross negligence to extremely careless to let Clinton walk is fake news🤔https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ousted-fbi-agent-in-mueller-probe-softened-language-in-clinton-email-case/
@Keith Morrison so James come writing Clinton’s exoneration letter before the investigation was even over is fake news🤔.https://www.cnn.com/2017/08/31/politics/comey-clinton-investigation/index.html
Help me out here turd
He’s only speaking out because he has to testify next month.
This is how they move voters to vote for Trump…The more they go after against the President the more people are moving to vote for Trump….don’t forget it’s 3-0 Republican🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Ha’ahuvai I agree. The people I talk to daily say that the Democrats just look stupid.
Jerry Moody He acting like POTUS personal attorney while being paid by taxpayers. He is way worst than both Session and Whitaker and that’s a shame.
@Brian Conner The Topic is about Bill Barr. You keep saying evryone has TDS, I suggest you look in the mirror. Bill Barr also confirmed Epstein killed himself, he’s anti 4th amendment as well. Yet you’re here shilling for him?
Barr has trouble doing his job with Donnie’s lil mushroom in his mouth. Boo hoo. Guy keeps a kneeling pad in his briefcase.
Trump 2020
Pro- Life 👼🏻
Pro-America ❤️🇺🇸💙
SUN Flower in pretty much pro life, except for democraps, they can all abort themselves
Dev Carter you like those don’t you.
@Michael Morton They quit the case after the Justice Department overruled them and said it would take the extraordinary step of lowering the amount of prison time Stone would face. The charges are not bogus.
@DDKaraokeOutlaw they are bogus turd..The sentence doesn’t match the crime charged and obviously the prosecutors who quit know..That’s why they are gone..
Now We know who the fall guy is.
BIDEN ???
JoJoDanzer can you enlighten us please?
@Kevin Lee I think he is spot on. Nobody is going to vote for that old commie. Guess who will fly in on her broom to save the day….Incoming Stygian witch.
He’s going nowhere. Watch him make fools of the democratic judicial committee.
@Kevin Lee I would be delighted 2 there is currently over 2000 ditements of criminals who have conspired acts towards our laws that are unimaginable it goes back to fisa….wake up the media is covering up for the CRIMINALS 100%
Fit him for a prison sentence.
Yo Fam then your mom
DDKaraokeOutlaw go sing us a tune about cigar bill, there should be plenty about that scum. And his old lady whoarlirry
Yes!! Remove Barr and you cut the circuit to Trump and his march towards authoritarianism.
@Ken Bessler They are in both camps (like Bush & Romney) but the dems are the worst at present.😁
@Keith Morrison As opposed to CIA controlled CNN, MSNBC???? Stinky Fingers Fruit and Fredo Queermo or Commie Mika and Joe…(CIA…Catholics in Action)
@Keith Morrison Still crying Morrisclown?
Impeach Pelosi……the geriatric mob princess
He needs to be impeached, removed and disBARRed.
Why? Because he is going to rat out 10 years of corruption on Ukraine?
Oh clever! 🙄🙄🙄 Idiots…
Wack af
Derp. Moron.
What’s wrong Doug, getting a little worried?
trump become all madness and powerful the day he hire Gestapo Barr
I hope at least the Judge on this case is independent
SEPARATION OF POWERS IN THIS CURRENT CORRUPTED ” ADMINISTRATION” DO NOT EXIST.
She’s a lowlife obummer judge thug! She allowed and condoned the railroading of stone! She needs to be arrested and thrown in prison for 9 years! Now!
The federal Judges appear to be the only semblance of non-partisan truth seekers who seem loyal only to their oaths and represent what appears to be the only responsible evidence of the rule of law remaining in the face of the down right lawlessness we have witnessed during the last few years
@John Smith Not gonna happen.
Barr is making life tough for his Grandkids future when their friends find out who their Grandpa was and what he did.
@Alex Cortez You mad?
@Lynn Lamont tell us more
Barr will be prosecuted and debarred.
He is impeding justice, obstructing the judical processes for favors and not acting independently in a manner which follows constitutional law. This who year has been an engagement of bias and not impartial acting.
He lied on the Mueller Report intently so as to deflect any probable discussion on following more into the investigations. He will be impeached and
Prosecuted.
J Dawg
His descendants can say he was a triathlete, and a pin-up for the conservative women of DC.
😉 well he’s screwed 😉
Barr accusing “The Left” gives away his partisanism in a position that is supposed to be non-partisan.
every democrat is a pedophile!!
Doug Laurent every republican is a mass shooter!!
every independent is sane!!
Brett Cavanaugh
And don’t forget… every satellite is watching you!!!
“I’m the president’s wingman”… Eric Holder. Didn’t hear much whining back then about partisanship. Oh right, he was Obama’s wingman… So it was ok.
Baaaaaa lamb Barr “LOCK HIM UP”
DRAIN the SWAMP…….!!!!!
DRAIN the SWAMP……..!!!!!
DRAIN the SWAMP…….!!!!
It would seem that people are getting worried 😲😏😁
?????????
Demophiles!!
TRUMP IS DA SWAMP
@Doug Laurent You mean inbred pedophiles like cult 45?
Ag bill barr confirmed in fact Jeffrey Epstein killed himself. Swamp filled, winning!
THE CRIMINALS ARE CRYING HARD….!!!😝😝😝😝
Yup. The Trumpanzees are such delicate cupcakes.
onceANexile ………………….. Barr belongs in a concrete prison cell . No more bars .
Ed Buck and Adam Schitt are quite chummy
“I never really knew William Bar. King trumpy.
Barr is a puppet on a string
Bill “there’s nothing to see here” Barr.
