Barr: ‘Unprecedented’ Trump Had Classified Docs in a Country Club — He ‘Jerked Around’ DOJ for a Year

Pam Key 2 Sep 2022


Former Trump Attorney General Bill Barr said Friday on FNC’s “America Reports” that it is “unprecedented” that former President Donald Trump had classified material at his Florida estate and he “jerked around” the Department of Justice for a year while they tried to recover the documents.

Sandra Smith asked, “Do you think this type of this raid was avoidable? Do you think a second subpoena, for example, could have been issued?”

Barr said, “I personally think for them to have taken things to the current point, they probably have pretty good evidence, but that’s speculation. And until we see that, it’s hard to say.”

He added, “Now, let me just say, I think the driver on this from the beginning was, you know, loads of classified information sitting in Mar-a-Lago. People say this was unprecedented, but it’s also unprecedented for a president to take all this classified information and put him in a country club. And how long is the government going to try to get that back? You know, they jawboned for a year. They were deceived on the voluntary actions taken. They then went and got a subpoena. They were deceived on that. They feel and the record, the facts are starting to show that they were being jerked around. And so how long, you know, how long do they wait?”

Anyone who knows much about Trump and his behavior shouldn't be surprised at all.  He may have even used the top secret documents to wipe his hands after eating a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken.

I still have not seen Gentleman Sessions throw his former boss under the bus... even after being pooped on a dozen times.

Some days you're outraged (or defeated) by the depth, scope and power of the entrenched Washington administrative state and on others you appear to deny its existence.

What's up with this back and forth @libertybele ?

???  Are you denying how many people Trump selected that turned around and stabbed him in the back??  Of course I am outraged by what they've done and the obvious coup.

Pence, Sessions, Barr, Rosenstein are just a few but I believe they are the people that hurt him the most; all those bad apples however are his picks.

That these appointees stabbed the President in the back is evidence of how powerful the administrative state is @libertybele   Each of the men you listed above came through recommendations from his own political party.  To who else was Trump to turn for recommendations on experienced government officials?

These men flipped on Trump the moment they assessed Trump was going to lose and the state was going to win --- a straightforward case of self-preservation over principle.  This tells us who these men are, not Trump.

Trump is working very hard to amass a cadre of America First advisors and government officials around the country for his second term.  We should be helping and supporting him in these efforts.  It's all for our benefit.

FWIW,  I'm looking forward to the time when blaming Donald Trump for having to wade through an incestuous and corrupt federal government is no longer accepted dogma.

Exactly.

In his lifetime before becoming president, Trump had been to Washington DC maybe a dozen times. And that’s only because in recent years he bought a hotel there. Otherwise, he’s a New Yorker. He and his transition team had no political network in DC on which he could rely. If some appointees turned out to be swamp creatures, that was on RNC Reince Priebus, et al.

Sidelines an awfully comfortable place from which to hold forth isn’t it, roam. I suppose in the same duplicitous environment that Trump—pardon, Trumpy—faced, you could’ve done better?

Maybe @roamer_1 forgot what the times were like. Trump not only didn’t get a honeymoon period and traditional well wishes for the incoming president. They were actively framing and backstabbing him and trying to arrest him on any whim democrats croaked forth.

I know it's usually good form to quote me or ping me to messages about me...

And I am not on the sidelines. I am just not supporting what some suppose I should, you included I would guess. Hence your apparent attempt at stuffing me in that pigeon hole... Which is really rather funny.

I think Tumpy is every bit as duplicitous as those around him. I think there is no way to be a captain of industry without the very same duplicitous nature that is present in political realms.

I think he is also dirty - You don't rise to the top of business in 'hospitality' and gambling dens, not to mention operating in NYC in any volume without being dirty.

That certainly is no compliment, I know. But it is reality. The very same thing that makes him a knuckle-buster requires street smarts, and street smarts come only with experience with the soft underbelly of the street.

In fact, that's likely why they are coming for him... Because he has dirt. And I have said right here on this thread that they would find nothing at Mar a Largo, because he would have to be a total idiot to leave his dirt on folks laying around where they could get at it. He may be a whole lot of things, but he ain't an idiot by a long way.

What gets me though is the attempt by all y'all to paint him as a patron saint, always 200  steps ahead of the evil doers, playing 10 dimensional chess to their checkers... And then try to defend his ineptitude with some sort of ignorance of the system that he's been courting for more than half his life... And how the evil-doers somehow pulled the wool over his eyes.

Pardon my derision, but the dichotomy is hilarious.

And as to my doing it better... Aw hell no. I played similar games in my yoot and learned eventually to avoid them. I don't want anything like the games he plays and wouldn't touch em with a 10 foot pole.

Ahh! So you DO know how to ping and to quote... Good to know.  :laugh:

As to your statement: So what? They've done the same all the way along. He's a big boy, right? Shoot, most the time he brings it on himself - cat-fighting with the very people that are out to get him. That they retaliate in similar fashion surprises you?

Why is it that Democrats never have any problem finding attorneys general who will do the party's political bidding and use the federal apparatus for bludgeoning political opponents and covering up their own people's transgressions? I speak, of course, of Eric Holder and Merrick Garland.  Then the Republicans get in and suddenly they become "principled." In fact, our people often hold Republicans to a higher standard than Democrats.

I think Trump did a fine job in some respects, but he did a terrible job of cleaning house at the justice department and FBI. Barr was not a bad attorney general, but he certainly was not as loyal to his president as Merrick Garland or Eric Holder, both of which are basically mob boss consiglieres.

When you have someone who is unfamiliar with the politics of DC and you rely on advisors [GOPe] for recommendations for positions in the Admin this is what happens..Trump is wiser now with the machinations of DC and I hope has learned his lessons on appointing people to top positions in his admin

Wasn't insuring this one of the goals of the non-stop, concurrent "investigations" into the President, his family, his private businesses and members of his administration @massadvj ?  If memory serves, "obstruction of justice" is not without consequences.

Nah. I was pretty good at it. Even in business. Sometimes I won, sometimes I lost. That's the breaks. Like I said... I learned to avoid it. All that glitters is not gold.
