Trump is ‘toast’ in classified documents case: Ex-AG Bill Barr
The New York Post ^ | 06/11/2023 | Carl Campanile

Donald Trump’s onetime Attorney General William Barr said Sunday the former president is “toast” after being indicted by the federal government for mishandling classified documents.

“The government acted responsibly. It was Donald J. Trump who acted irresponsibly,” Barr said on “Fox News Sunday” of the 37-count indictment against Trump, 76, unsealed Friday.

“They’re solid counts,” Barr said. “Even if half of this is true he’s toast.”

Barr noted he believed that Trump was treated unfairly by the FBI in the “Russiagate” collusion probe and with the indictment brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg in the Stormy Daniels hush money case.

But he said the charges that Trump kept hundreds of classified government documents related to sensitive national security matters at his Mar-a-Lago estate after leaving the White House are a serious matter.

I was shocked by the degree of the sensitivity of these documents and how many there were, quite frankly,” Barr told host Shannon Bream.

Claims by Trump and allies that he’s the victim of a witch-hunt are “ridiculous,” Barr said.

“[Trump] is not a victim here. He was totally wrong,” Barr said.

Bill Barr was Trump’s first choice for Attorney General:

“I did not know him [Bill Barr] until recently when I went through the process of looking at people and he was my first choice from day one, respected by Republicans and respected by Democrats.” Trump December 7, 2018

This is the plan of communists. Make everything illegal and then only apply that law to their enemies and not their own.

Law is dead in this country, folks. Never expect a fair trail anywhere in the US. If you by chance get one, that is the exception...not the rule.

Why didn’t Bill Barr, when he was AG, prosecute Joe Biden or Hillary Clinton who were never protected by the Presidential Records act, and obviously had far more secret records then?

You forgot Reince Priebus. I think that was the beginning of Trump’s downfall.

Clearly Barr is a Swamp Creature and probably much worse than the rest. He would sacrifice an innocent person to protect evil leftist power over the citizens of this country.

respected by Republicans and respected by Democrats.” Trump December 7, 2018

There’s the problem right there. Trump needs to go for fear instead of respect. You are over the target when Democrats fear someone. The same is true with most Republicans.

@marklevinshow
Hey, Bill Barr, did you ever read classified information when you were driven back and forth from DOJ and your house? That’s a violation of the Espionage Act. When your papers were boxed up at the end of both tenures as AG, did you provide guidance to your staff on what could be removed? Was it in writing? Did you remove unclassified government documents when you departed, including letters on AG stationary? Did you keep a list of what you removed? You’re appearing on TV more than Michael Avenatti did because of your hate for Trump but nobody grills you.

Who asked the treasonous dumb bastard? The disloyal donut muncher was supposed to be working for President Trump not spying for the far-left commie and Nazi fascist bastards.

Because Barr doesn’t give a shit when liberals break the law. Isn’t that obvious by now?

a deal was struck giving bill Barr attorney general and certain republicans would not vote for impeachment. Bill bars reason for being there was to take care of Epstein mater and handle the case in a way that covers up the criminal activity that certain members of the establishment were involved in.

Who would be DeSantis’s Bob Barr?

Answer: We’ll never know because the “ingrate kid” from Florida will never be POTUS.

That literally happened before he was president, so yeah, I agree.

I keep seeing this “if only half of it is true” line by the usual deep state hacks. They are also going all out on the killing the narrative that Trump is being singled out. That’s pretty rich when they found docs in Biden’s garage and nothing. Then of course the millions in bribes Traitor Joe took.

Barr is loyal to the DOJ, and always has been. At least he was better than that idiot, “Trust Sessions!” and his crowd od maroons waiting for The Great PumpQuin” to rise up.

Trump thought political loyalty is like business loyalty. Biggest misjudgment in history.

Barr met with anti-Trump Senators secretly and funneled all Biden Crimes to the dirty US Atty In Delaware - Weiss - to do the run out the clock and see anyone that had the info independently would be raided and silenced.


Fixed News won’t ask him simple questions about his role in covering for Comey, Strzok, Clinton, and Biden.

I saw a picture of boxes being stuffed into bathrooms and all and wondered at the cheapness of this. Biden, too, stuffing them in his garage. Trump has billions, Biden had at least the $5 million bribe. Surely they could rent document storage! Were they keeping all of these documents for the sake of keeping them or because they were important to them?
