Bill Barr Lied About Considering Charging Trump With Obstruction Of Mueller, Court Says

Rachel Maddow reports on a panel decision by a federal appeals court in Washington that said that contrary to Bill Barr's public announcement that he had evaluated the evidence of obstruction in Robert Mueller's report and decided there was not enough to charge Donald Trump, Barr did not give consideration to such a charge before declaring insufficient evidence.

Charge Barr, and publish the unredacted Mueller report.
Then charge Individual One.

[julielockett]

I said ages ago barr lied for trump hes a liar and he lied for trump

[roberttaylor]

And Bar admitted on the stand, That "He DID NOT EVEN READ The Report" Bar said that on National TV..?? Why wasn't Bar Disbarred right then.???

[TheFinalChapters]

"I have considered charging Trump, and decided against it"
"But sir, you haven't read the repot yet"
"And I've decided against it"

Prosecute Bill Barr to hold him accountable for his lies & inactions as AG.

[tombirney]

PROFITS from Bill Barr's book deals, speaking fees should be awarded to the Federal Government. A murderer doing time for their crime is kept from the profits of the book they write regarding the commission of their crime as precedent.

[slihrih]

Hopefully it doesn’t just end there and we see Barr doing the perp walk!

[heavypen]

"Crimes in high places don't matter much... right?" What a statement...

[derekleonidas]

Barr should be held accountable, period

[janeconnors]

People have forgotten just what an enabler barr was. He was like trumps personal puppet

[BigDanOz]

Trump is like a shoplifter, get away with it once and go back into the store for more.

[cher]

Everyone else has already said what I would say (of course both Individual 1 and Barr should be charged and put behind bars) so I'll just say that I love Rachel Maddow. She's got the best way of discoursing to the viewers and always reflects my feelings in the way she comes across.

[jamesbowman]

Yet that privilege doesn’t exist for any other office! And it shouldn’t for a sitting president either!

[phillylifer]

Just because one corrupt guy says so, nothing happens and everyone just stands around dumbly and weakly.

[martincday]

This isn't new news it is just confirming what everyone knew at the time.

[cfbates]

Release the report unredacted. Let the people decide. He said there wasn't sufficient evidence. There has to be enough evidence for attorneys to win a case with stuff like this for them to charge someone. Smh

[justincase]

I’m losing track of all the crimes they committed sheesh

[Jennythmoon]

You can’t charge innocent man. You can’t charge someone based on feeling and power. Wake up this is America. 😂😂😂😂

[hazelem]

I can’t even begin to comprehend how these people think that their shenanigans won’t be exposed. Lock him up.

[junepagan]

Thank you for exposing Barr . He’s so arrogant.
