Trump's DOJ used to pursue Trump's critics
 
A book by a former top federal prosecutor offers new details about how the Justice Department under President Donald J. Trump sought to use the U.S. attorney’s office in Manhattan to support Mr. Trump politically and pursue his critics...(C)onduct that had annoyed the president was now a priority of the Department of Justice.”

So, the guy who shrieks "witch hunt" any time he is investigated pressured the FBI to conduct witch hunts against those who annoyed him?

So the ones crying that Biden is weaponizing the DOJ are just projecting? Go figure.

Barr is predicting DOJ is close to indicting trump and he should know.
What goes around comes around. Throw the book at this crook.

The MAGAmaniacs will probably get mad enough to boycott something. Then gather up their big tRump 20-whatever flags and parade up & down in front of a country club they'll never be allowed to set foot in.

It's a shame you don't believe that 'conspiracies' exist.

I could reference printed material from multiple sources testifying that Bill Barr himself is a hard-core crook. The sources weren't sued for slander, or anything. They did face financial persecutions, and in some cases, have been killed under mysteries circumstances.

That's books, not videos which are always fake (according to you).

Cool it, big guy. Last warning.

His turd-polishing of the Mueller report was indeed scandalous, as was his intervention in the Michael Flynn (and other) cases. Barr is on a reputation salvaging tour, but he remains a Trump enabler and thereby an enabler of fascism. Phuck him.

I think you have misunderstood me. I just do not chase conspiracies since I can very easily determine facts from print media reports and analysis.

If Bill Barr is indeed is a crook, facts may bear this out. I do know he covered for Trump but did not overtly break any laws to the best of my knowledge.

Now what I seldom do is go chase news items to find out Bill Barr is a crook or just a lawyer doing his job. This is what leads to conspiracies and I completely avoid it.

Agreed. In a recent interview, after dumping on $45 profusely, he then admitted he will vote for Trump in 2024 if he is the Republican nominee. Beyond salvage imo.

In Central Valley CA, an in your face MAGAland, a US & 2020 flag is requisite on all MAGA mobiles (PU trucks). :D

We do have a misunderstanding, and I apologize if my post sounded like a personal attack.

I misspoken when I said you think "all videos are fake"; you had told me that you would not look at YouTube links I had provided (in another thread) because YouTube is open source and therefore my source was immediately suspect and not worth viewing.

One quick question. Do you reject Wikipedia as unworthwhile, because it is open source ? If so, I won't bother using it as a reference when I correspond with you.

I would like to say that I have never chased anything with the intent of finding out information about Bill Barr. I have read extensively about a topic you would most likely consider a 'conspiracy theory', and Bill Barr's name 'popped up' from multiple sources.

Again, sorry if this seemed personal.

I did not take this as a personal attack, more as a critique. Bob's warning was generic I believe.

I consider Wikipedia a waste of my time to refer to, though I used to contribute to their foundation for years. Because its open source, one has to spend 15 minutes to find a simple piece of information. If you can use Google search function well, its very easy to get information, but I will always check the credibility of the source, which is also easy to do.

Same with YouTube videos, anyone can post them and juice it, so why do I need to go there? There is data, then information and finally useful information. I skip steps 1 & 2 and get useful information from usually reliable sources. Wiki is data, YouTube is Data, so no I don't go there. You do realize that in a video, its not the information that is presented which is important, but why and by whom? I am grown up, I don't need stuff read to me anymore since I can read well. :D

As to Bill Barr, he did not make much noise in the Bush 2 administration but working for Trump it seems his only job was to protect him. Still wonder how he even got the job since he is an establishment insider and a Neocon. So never trusted the guy and always questioned his motives,besides and he was so predictable. Saving Trump's ass was his only job till he had enough.

I've read stacks of books on the subject of the Iran/Contra Affair, just because I had personal fascination with it.

All that stuff about narcotics smuggling and money laundering involving GHWB, Ollie North, Barry Seal, Bill Clinton, and associates. Any how, two sources (that I have checked regarding credibility to the best of my ability) state that Bill Barr was in the thick of it, too. The two had never met one another, or colluded, until after they had written their books.

FWIW
