Attorney General Bill Barr on Friday delivered one of his most effusive defenses to date of his expansive views on executive power, in a speech where he accused Democrats who've sought to thwart President Donald Trump's agenda of"using every tool and maneuver to sabotage" the administration.
Barr went into detail as he assailed the self-described"Resistance" to Trump, accusing them of adopting"dangerous" and"incendiary" language by implying the sitting government is illegitimate. The remarks came just hours after prosecutors from Barr's Justice Department secured yet another conviction of one of the president's past informal campaign advisers, Roger Stone, on seven criminal counts that included lying to congressional investigators who were probing Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Barr earned cheers from the crowd as he repeatedly excoriated, and at times mocked, critics of the"unitary executive" theory, embraced by Barr and others in conservative legal circles who argue for fewer restraints to a president's exercise of his executive power.
MAGASoGood Good he's right you know
Criminal de
Of course, this is a speech to the ultra conservative Federalist Society's convention. What else would you expect?
Screw Barr. He's supposed to enforce the rule of law and defend and guard the constitution. Instead he defends Trump, the Corrupter-in-Chief.
Do you defend killing the Epstein story?
What an absolute joke. Trump can break the law and personalize the office of the presidency because he was upfront about and got voted in? Was 'drain the swamp' a promise to be as corrupt as possible? Did I miss that admission somewhere, barr?
This toad needs to go
Let's put Barr behind bars.
ali Call it as it is a COUP !
Super sycophant and crooked attorney general. I am sure Barr is beloved by the Trump cult members.
My Opinion he should resign
Screw Barr!
ChristinePolon1 The moment you realise you are getting information from a network that covers up paedophile rings
I love this! The coup/ Resistance is real and this is just the AG to stand up to it ❤
Impeach Barr!!!
If this impeachment actually happens because of BRIBERY, they will all be gone
Thank God for Congressional oversite. We now have an Attorney General who is being paid off by Trump to look the other way and who has embarrassed America around the globe with his phony conspiracy investigations. This guy is the most crooked Attorney General we have ever had.
The Dems feelings got hurt and they have been scorching the earth since. Truth and facts mean nothing. Kinda like a 3 year temper tantrum. Get over it! We had to put up with Obummer.
Attorney General Barr is just as crooked as his boss
His day in front of a judge will come.
Barr is so corrupt. The document demands wouldn't be so burdensome if the POTUS wasn't constantly abusing his authority and obstructing justice. He thinks all he has to do is feed the conservative domestic agenda and the senate will let him do internationally as he pleases.

Soul seller
I am anxiously waiting for John Durhams report ?
Fact is Barr doesn’t believe in the Constitution.
Not really Bill Barr.
To the dust pan of history Barr is a speck
He is terribly misinformed about who he represents
Accomplice
This man is a danger to democracy, just as every strong man throughout history has had their yes men, their syncophants, their ministers of propaganda, and their generals who did the dirty work, Trump has this guy. These guys are planning the worse people. Believe it.
He needs a refresher course in the separation of powers.
“Resistance?” You mean The majority of American citizens and the people who represent them?
Any bets on if Barr ends up in jail? Anyone? lockbarrup
Damn. Sauron speaks.
Barr is a crime scene vanisher.
Pig
Dems' nightmare. Womp womp mofo deep state dems... The reports are about to come out
I remember someone said they were a wingman for another President. Hmm 🤔 I wonder who that was.
So much for representing the U.S. Barr only represents Trump.
Billy Barr is a ridiculous little man! He makes a horrible mob enforcer and an even worse AG
Barr may be there at the POTUS will. The GOP is there at the will of the people and it looks like the will of the people needs to contact all of their conservative Representatives and let them know we dont need a corrupt POTUS45. ImpeachTrumpNow
Like to see him behind bars.
Not his job.
That's a good boy... Woof woof woof 👇
🖕 I m bad with my words.
The Boogey Barr.
Why isn't anyone pointing out that being corrupt and vulgar IS NOT WHAT A CONSERVATIVE IS, unless it has become that.
How does this fool look himself in the mirror everyday? I was hoping he would do the right thing but he’s just another Trump puppet heading where all of Trumps puppets are or are going! He’s lying just like POTUS
IMPEACH BARR
All respect to these Harvard students
