Why Bill Barr Faces A Reckoning If Trump Loses | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC
Barr must now be a multi-millionaire.
Right? He’s doing things like he’s not in it for the long haul or the best interest of the country.
I think the only thing barr is getting is promise s
several off the top of my head!!!! can you name one?? silience!!!
Trump gave him a million bucks
The United States military swore an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States.
Taino20 and I’m sure they will have no problem removing tRump from the White House when he doesn’t win the election. Blue Tsunami 2020.
😀😀👍 now that’s some funny chit😀😀👌 haha….question …how’s it working?
Cohen knows everything that Trump doesn’t want out. It does seem kinda funny that everyone is out but him doesn’t it.. Barr gets involved in this case absolutely looks like this was an inside job!
100%
Look out, Cohen just might be Epsteined in the near future before he’s allowed to talk.
I wish Cohen luck! My prayers are with him and hope he stays safe.
personal attorneys usually commit suicide. cohen is lucky……..AG Barr & Roger Stone say boycott Seth Meyers for making fun of Trump in his new video.

This show is so funny Trump might not get re-elected.
Remember that at one time he could not testify because his father in law was threatened?
when trump loses all his rats are going down
Trump will make sure all his rats go down before he does.
Suprised the people don’t try to shoot Roger Stone
The best thing to rid of all the sewer rats would be just burn down after locking them up.
Make sure Barr AND all his appointees and their appointees go down with him
Dream on. TRUMP 2020
Bill Barr the good old cover up man from the Iran Contra deal.
How much more are we going to take as American’s .
Never again try to convince the world your system of “checks and balances” actually works. If it did, William Barr would be serving a life sentence for high treason and blatant corruption.
Along with his boss!
@Mary Earnest And MoscowMitch and LadyG!
Barr is going to wish he had never left Bedrock.😄
Roger Stone as Dino!
Barr gonna do illegal things? Yaba daba Don’t!
@Jay Filteau Stone needs a body guard!
Omg too funny !!!! He’s a definitely a replica of Fred Flintstone !!!!!
you had to edit that comment?? How dumb was it b4?

@Balkara Singh Balkara Singh
Huh ?
It ……..What ?
@Linda Scott FLUSH THE TURD
NOVEMBER 3RD!!
America is in trouble. Our choices: A lifelong con man, cheat and liar or: A dithering, crooked pedophile. We need a new system, a new party…
@Walter White good I hope trump gets led out by hand cuffs! Lol
Barr needs to go to prison with his “client” Trump.
@pao vang Maybe the virus will get you and you won’t live to see justice done. Trump is going to take away your health coverage. Can you afford to pay for your medical needs? You need counselling.
Gary Kasten He also needs his head examined, seems he has the same mentality as Trump!!👍🏻
@beth robb Maybe he was a crash test dummy and then he got fired from that job!
Somebody would probably shoot Barr just watch.
@beth robb was dumbama your President if yes Trump’s your President too. If no you’re not an American.
ask that to Trump
the answer will be
“don’t know him, never met him.. i don’t know a man named Barr”
The newly United States of Russia really sucks. A country run by a criminal organization above very very weak laws.
There’s only ever been a veneer of honesty, that is now showing signs of rottenness.
@Jj Av Russia “Hoax” . . . just like CoronoVirus “Hoax”! YOUR candidate is a nightmare!
@M Munroe Sorry to disappoint you Im not a voter but still ur candidate is creepy. Its ur fault that u allow us to live in ur great country lol.
Russia is exactly the fascist model
The law is only as good as the courts. Justice apparently does not matter in the USA. Justice delayed is justice denied. It is perfectly obvious from the way Barr and Benedict Donald have been able to punk the judicial system that American courts are a farce. Trump’s tax cases sat at the corrupt useless abomination aka Supreme Court for 11 stinking months. Seriously, did the black-robed deities have something more important to do? From the do nothing prima donna courts to the Electoral College this system is an abject unmitigated failure that has turned this once-great nation into an international laughing stock, destroyed the economy, and killed 140,000+ so far.
There are three entities in America one should never ever trust to do the right thing, the Cops, the Courts, and a Republican Congress!
The Supreme Court must be expanded and restructured. The cops need to be regulated by the people, not their stinking unions, and the Republican party must be annihilated in November or America is lost forever.
Adam Schiff told y’all …. senate should have given him the boot while they had a chance … it’s been nothing but destruction
Yes char. schiff is a hero……..AG Barr & Roger Stone say boycott Seth Meyers for making fun of Trump in his new video.

Disbarr has done the impossible… He’s made the odious jeff sessions look somewhat principled
Being from AL, that statement is so true, and I didnt think that was possible.
I KNOW RIGHT!
Good point.👍👏
“There is no bottom.” Until we fix this, worse and worse autocrats will continue amassing power until independent newsrooms can’t exist, and we’re all facing a Ukraine-style starvation genocide.
*reviews the last three years*
It’s only hyperbolic until it isn’t.
Trump and all his cronies are going down like Stormy Daniels on a bent mushroom.
Yeah buddy
Barr: “History is written by the winners.”
America: “Let’s hope so. 😎 ”
Barr: ” 😢😭 “
Ro G I hope so hard you’re right!
LadyJAtheist He will be right if we all vote! #Athiesttoo Vote the Blue Wave in 2020!
@Vladimir Dubs that’s because your intelligence is hair thin
@Dolores Reynolds You better load up on blue toilet tablets because thats the only blue waves you are going to see, the majority of registered voters just aren’t that stupid to vote for a corrupt racist brain dead candidate.
#j G You talking about tRump? 😂
the only people who still believe
in the “american dream”
haven’t woken up yet
That’s pretty profound !!
Good job !! 🇺🇸👍🎯
Barr is just like Lenningrad Lindsey and Moscow Mitch!
EXCEPT he doesn’t wear a dress or a shell !!
“It’s out of our hands”=”We were just following orders.” Nuremberg defense. Didn’t fly then and won’t fly now. Barr should be hanged on the national mall.
He’s certainly a conman, and he’s taking the republican party down in his scam
WHEN trump is outta office and the NY district attorney gets a hold of him… Donny is gonna be SINGING like a canary… he’ll throw Barr under the bus then…
For sure
🔥RICH LIVES MATTER🔥….nothin’ for you poor people to see here…☠️move along…☠️DOJ and the secret police rule⚡️⚡️
Unless Bar has “insurance”
