All the brave talk, he will plea and try to avoid jail.

[freedomfinder]

Getting pretty tired of seeing Barr on his reputation rehab tour. He’s still a lying Republican, that doesn’t change just because he decides to get on the right side of history now.

[lizhannan]

Every Republican who comes out AFTER reading the indictment and makes a statement in favor of Trump should leave the party.
If you have ANY knowledge of law and in fact are responsible for drafting LAWS and you see the crimes Trump has allegedly committed and stay silent you are COMPLICIT in his actions and you then become a danger to American Democracy period!

[notatrumpsupporter]

The citizens of the United States deserve justice. We don't just want Trump indicted, we want EVERY REPUBLICAN who assisted with Jan 6th, held accountable. Not just the people who stormed the capital.

[haunteddragon]

Dear GOP::: time to grow a pair for the country!!

[vbs]

Thank you, Stephanie, for reminding everyone of how awful Barr is! Your criticism should be repeated each and every time he goes on the air.

Edit: Same for your remarks about the Kochs.

[thatsdoctorevil]

Because they're fundraising not seriously running.

[EattheApple]

What I see from the GOP is they are scared that this opens the door for accountability for the politicians in office.

[allynnamccleod]

The longer the other GOP candidates keep lamely dancing around the issue of Trump's indictment, the more severely the GOP will get their a**es handed to them next November. Keep up the good work.

[CKDStrider]

There is not one person of honor in the Republican lineup reported on. May the Lord watch over us.

[sashasasha-znmu]

We are witnessing how Republican party disappearing slowly but surely. Republican party will be remembered as traitor for this country

[v.e.]

Calling the Kochs "principled" is a term only a staunch republican would/could say about such a pair of devoutly avericious men. smh

[georgeh]

Republican presidential candidates who refuse to stand up to Trump even just for political reasons if not for the sake of the country, need to drop out now. There is no way you are going to get your party's nomination by being a cheerleader for Donald Trump.

[Kotch]

So many misuse the "PRESUMED innocent until proven guilty" and they often omit that this means in court, not on Fox.

[rtqii]

Republicans are completely aligned with FSB in St Petersburg.

[t.a.k.palfrey]

As craven as partisan politics may be in most representative democracies, it is inconceivable that party leaders of any stripe would attack the justice system itself, in order to defend a fellow party member, however eminent. Just look at France, the UK, South Korea, etc for examples of how it should be done. 🤔

[nenaaa]

Go Steph I loved your take downs on the Koch’s and Bill Barr! 😂

[David-jigu]

Ron is not mature enough as a man to even become president much less Governor how did that happen he sounds like a kid coming out of high school ain't nobody taking him seriously

[hobartw]

I would never vote for a man that wears as much orange rouge as Trump.

[irishlady]

Where are all of the "law and order" republicans, why are you only happy when you're angry???
