Former Acting U.S. Solicitor General Neal Katyal joins MSNBC Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber to discuss a new complaint from a former DOJ prosecutor alleging they helped convicted Trump ally Roger Stone fight for a lighter sentence. Katyal asserts AG Barr’s actions are “incredibly troubling” and that he is not protecting “the rule of law.” Katyal adds Congress should take more responsibility in “oversight,” questioning “why Barr hasn’t been forced to testify in regards to the matter.” (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 06/23/2020.

'Torching Its Legacy': DOJ Insider Says AG Barr 'Should Be Resigning' After 'Bombshell' Allegation
Throw Barr in prison along with Trump and his cronies.
Dan Jones YES!
👍👍
👏👏👏
@Grace Munich and his family of crooks and cons.
As soon as possible.
At this rate, it will happen… I can’t wait to see real justice done!
Bill Barr is not an attorney general. He’s a mafia lawyer.
@Darrell Rees Yep, we need to flush that turd November 3rd!
@C Gordine If there were a movie like this, the reviews would be: “ridiculously cliched!”
@Tom Jones It’s not out of the realm of possibility that Harris could be the AG under Biden. You could very well get your wish.
Dave Schultz da comrade,nastrovia
@Dave Schultz Hellen Keller was able to see and hear what was going on in the world better than you. WTF!
4Bs. Bill Barr Behind Bars.
Yes…. That’s what criminals deserve
and one D DisBarred.
This entire scenario is like a bad Adam Sandler movie with cartoon villains.
Netflix
the problem is they are real and the damage that has been done may just be irreversible.
@kathy smith Trump is a Russian puppet.
@Heraldo Medrano more like a fascist puppet. he has followed Hitler’s take over steps perfectly but for 2 and he is working on those.
your argument suggests there are good adam sandler movies. no better than barr in blurring the truth….
Should be resigning, but if what he “should” do affected him, he wouldn’t have taken the job in the first place..
C’MON EVERBODY KNOWS BILL BARR KILLED EPSTEIN WHILE THE GUARDS TOOK AN EARLY BREAK…and it wasnt for TrumP IT WAS FOR HIS DAD!
FirehorseCreative well done and good info.
Epstein is alive, they faked his death to get him out, no court, no prosecution, so, did he get cremated? What about his estate? His houses? Something stinks
Fala Ai , wow really?
Concered Citizen; Of course, we may never know, but yes, i happen to agree with you. Epstein was no fool; he knew the world he was wheeling and dealing in. He had a dead-man’s switch in place I’m sure: “If I go down, I’m taking everybody with me.” But maybe that was him in the morgue, we may never know. Where are the guards now? Living on a beach in Tahiti? Or dead in a river? Crazy sounding? Sure. Possible? Maybe. My tin-hat has been glowing for a while now. We don’t have any facts (yet), just pure speculation (wild speculation).
just a ghoul in the world kool
BARR BEHIND BARS 2020 !!
Barr has made a mockery of the justice department !
Peter Mohr He certainly has!
USA 🇺🇸= Venezuela 🇻🇪
Yes he has.
Can the American Bar Association revoke his license to practice? That would be fun to see.
@William IV he’s also passed the Bar in NY.
DisBar Barr, love it
C.J. DrakVolken – #DisBarBarr love it.
I’m not sure but I don’t think you need to actually be a lawyer to be AG.
@Tim Murphy This made me have a vision of the opening scene for “Nightmare on Elm Street 2.
Sigh, I am so sick of all these repeated calls for Barr to resign. He’s been getting overwhelming calls for over a year to resign since he mischaracterized the Mueller report. He is not resigning people! The only way for him to leave is to vote for Joe Biden and Democrats.
Who in there right mind would vote Biden don’t you see enough destruction with all these Democrat gov and mayors do you want it to get worse this is just a prelude to what it would if Biden were elected the man don’t know where he’s at half the time
@Traci Schmidt if you Google it, it should come up. Also the fact that nothing has been done as the guest implied the end of the interview, should be an indicator.
@GHN1013 Absolutely. Just getting rid of Trump is not enough. All his enablers and protectors in Congress have to go, too. Trump “and” Trumpism must go.
@Ed .More butchery of the English language by a tiring clueless Trumpflake. Why would anybody in their right mind listen to the opinion of someone who can’t write properly in their native language?
Unless of course English isn’t your native language and Russian is. Then we understand perfectly why you’re spreading your badly-written propaganda – for a Putin paycheck.
@Ed trump is better?
He’s not going to resign as long as he has presidential authority to keep him in place.
Tech ti lmao go continue drinking your kool-aid …. shows how much you know about the individuals commenting here…. you don’t know jack what parties they side with …. we are people we could be republicans we could be democratic we could be liberals we could be of no parties we could be of all walks of life …. but yet YOU want to put labels …. your funny.::: Not ….
Tech ti the fake news only showed up when the fake President did.
🤣
debbie duccini-day get both out.
Sooner or later Trump will have to leave. He will ask on who’s authority? He will be told: “By the now President of the United States” Bye bye!
And followed by a pardon!
A lawless president=a lawless senate=Ag Barr. A weak House=no accountability.
A weak USA, unfortunately
..
what can the house do? they still have to deal with Mitch McConnell in the senate.. it’s going nowhere and is a waste of time with 5 months until the election and, unfortunately, they have more important things on their plate.. not that this is not important but we are in the middle of a viral pandemic and millions of people are without jobs.. we have the BLM movement.. just so much.
but you do make a good point is what I meant to say above. I am not in the mood to attack someone who generally feels the way I do.. just presenting a different way to look at it.. and I, obviously, am not extremely well versed in all of it.. I agree that dumbo donnie and Barr need to go and that is the plan come January of next year. Vote blue.
Barr works exclusively for Trump, not the people of America.
@Ralph’s Place But he was right. She was as corrupt as trump is now.
@Arthur Pozner NOT US. NO JUST US.
@Ian Dalziel BURN THEM DOWN. THEY ARE AS ANTI AMERICAN CITIZEN AS IT GETS. 1%ERS ONLY NEED APPLY.THEY PRETEND TO BE SO VIRTUOUS BUT THEIR GOALS ARE ANATHEMA TO THE PEOPLE. WHERE THE LETTER OF THE LAW CRUSHES THE SPIRIT OF THE LAW.
He needs the money to feed himself. Look at his bulk. Needs alot of upkeeping.
HES TRUMPS HOT MAN. TOADY YES MAN. SEE TRUMP PLAYS THE DISTRACT BLAME GAME.KEEPS FOCUS OFF OF HIM.HE KEEPS HIS UNDERLINGS HIS GUYS THAT DO HIS DIRTY WORK LETS SAY STOOGES HE HAS THEM COVER GOR HIM THEY DONT WORK OUT ITS BACK THE BUS UP..HES GOT THEM IN THE WHITE HOUSE AND OUT OF THE WHITEHOUSE. GULLIANNI IS ONE. SAME THING AS THE MAFIA ONLY IN HIS POSITION HE DONT WANNA PUT A HIT OUT ON ANYONE. IM NOT A DEMOCRAT EITHER SO ALL YOU THAT ADHERE AND BELIEVE HIS ORATING BLABBER IM NOT OUT TO GET HIM OM JUST SAYIN THIS IS WHAT HES ALL ABOUT.DONT HAVE TO BE SMART TO SEE IT.
Barr went full Nazi when he subverted the Mueller Report..no surprise here.
Man trump rents so much space in your head you have a little icon for him on your profile. Btwhahaha. A thin line between love and hate
The report was a political statement..nothing more!!😒😒😒
@Uffi Sachs actually that is not true. Trumps impeachment had nothing to do with the Mueller report. Trump was impeached because he secretly halted congressional appointed funds to Ukraine until Ukraine announced a fake investigation based on a conspiracy theory into trumps political rival Joe Biden.
@Dy Dayton i printed the report out. The depth and complexity of Russia propaganda machine would be inpressive if not it didn’t actually fulfill its mission. The many interviewed witnesses had
lied on multiple occasions. Unfortunately, Muller’s team was not able to interview everybody and was not able to follow up on certain witness statements that contradicted others.
Hopefullythis charade ends in November and we can begin to see this country move past this embarassing time in history
Jail Barr for life sentence
Trump and Barr should both be in prison and hopefully will be at some point.
@Heartstung Ol’ Bone Spurs is going down. https://youtu.be/NOI3ycbaCaE
@Bill Fauber yes I know its the primary…still gives me cause for concern.
@brad sanders He won the Republican primary against other Republicans…I preferred some other Republican other than McConnell.
@Bill Pii Yes I know its a primary.
@Heartstung 87 % jesus the people in that state are pathetic , oh ok so its sycophantic Republicans voting for thier sycophant, when do the people get to vote him out ?
If they do this so openly, just imagine what they’re really capable of doing.
Robert Blue or doing secretly, right now…
You said it!!!
Keep digging pal
The entire federal government is a freak show.
That’s because it’s being lead by a mob boss who runs a criminal organization.
There is no rule of law in Republikkklan controlled Amerikkka.
Barr is a criminal, as is the president of the USA. Vote in Nov!!!!
Trump and all in his administration need to be removed and locked up for their many crimes against the country.
RFI-Crypto Lab only if he runs against Pootie, Yuri.
🤣🇺🇸🖕
@RFI-Crypto Lab Ol’ Bone Spurs is going down. Flush the turd November 3rd! https://youtu.be/NOI3ycbaCaE
RFI-Crypto Lab you don’t have to vote for him,Russia and republicans will cheat him into a second term
@RFI-Crypto Lab All trump supporters should have “I hate America” tattooed on their flattened foreheads.
Fred Flintstone refuses to go back to Bedrock. He’ll never resign..
Deno too.
