AG Barr breaks with Trump, says he does not think Obama-era officials committed treason
By Liam Quinn, Brooke Singman | Fox News

Attorney General William Barr has broken with President Trump on the issue of whether or not Obama-era officials committed treason.

Barr, in a sit-down interview with CBS News, was asked whether he agreed with previous comments Trump has made suggesting some people with ties to the former president’s administration had done so.

“You don’t think that they have committed treason?” Barr was asked by reporter Jan Crawford.

“Not as a legal matter,” he replied. “Sometimes people can convince themselves that what they're doing is in the higher interest and better good.

"They don't realize that what they're doing is really antithetical to the democratic system that we have,” he said.

Another weak sister.

Fact is, what everyone did involved in the coup against Trump was sedition and treason, worthy of the worst punishment under the law.  Lawyers, not worth a good BM!

Just weeks ago Barr said he intended to investigate this. Is his investigation completed?

Did he learn the "Predicate?"
