But perhaps most forcefully, Barr has launched partisan political attacks against Democrats. He's accused them of being hell-bent on total victory, tearing down the American system and running people's lives.interview with Fox News' Mark Levin
A few days later in another interview on Fox, Barr had this to say about racism in the middle of a campaign in which that very issue has been front and center. "He has been operating as a political operative and a campaign aide to the president rather than as attorney general of the United States," said Fred Wertheimer, the founder of the left-leaning watchdog group Democracy 21."Barr is free to have any views he wants but he's not free to exercise those views as attorney general."The Justice Department's mission, Wertheimer noted, is to ensure the fair and impartial administration of justice.
In Barr's case, administration opponents say he's doing more than using his megaphone to attack Trump's opponents and help boost the president's reelection efforts — they also say he's using the levers of his office's power to benefit Trump as well. "Generally we do not comment on the existence of investigations, and we never comment on the substance of what we are finding," said Donald Ayer, who served as deputy attorney general in the George H.W. Bush administration."So he's been violating that rule itself categorically."
He reminds me so much about James Comey, our democracy is in trouble.
The man is a dishonest criminal, just like his boss!!!
I can’t believe my tax money is wasted on NPR
The name sign should read “The DISHONORABLE William Barr”
“Critics say” enough of these neutral headlines! Barr is blatantly working solely for the benefit of trump administration. Call it what it is.
Of course why is anyone surprised? He’s doing what Himmler did for Hitler
Why do you make shit up even when you are tax payer funded.
I believe this.
We are use our levers of power to get rid of Barr, at the voting booth. DaysAreNumbered
They? Thats the they 'LEFT' The can
Critics? Honest people and casual observers say that, because it's true.
yathink?
one more time NPR , another report to pander lefty’s . NPR is NOT national uses fed funding to support BLM, Dem, HRC, Biden campaign, Obama’s, comey, klapper, Brennan. Dare to have one hr every day hosted by bill o’riley, or Charles Kirk, or gov Huckabe.
Who are the critics? Dems of course. Shocking
That’s what wingmen do, relucasz
Barr blatantly breaks the law. Vote trump out and get Barr out next!
Those aren’t “critics”, those are people telling THE TRUTH.
I'm sure Barr will all he can in his position as AG of the Justice Department to help Trump get re- elected, because he wants to keep his job. Barr likes being Trump's AG, not tbe people's AG. They both have one thing in common, they both want POWER!
As if Holder didn't do the exact same... FO NPR!
Critics, huh? It’s not just readily apparent to anyone who is looking
Dis- barr barr. Then prosecute for being part of criminal enterprise.
when these far right extremists talk about racism, they mean they feel white people's entitlement and sense of superiority is threatened. We need to vote them out in a landslide. Barr is trump's body guard obstructing justice and hiding investigations that might hurt trump
Maybe he got the COVID-19
NPR critics simple withdrawal support for totally propaganda machine, existing on taxpayers money. Everyday day lie and wrong information. Shame on you NPR!
And Eric holder was straight up. You people are to stupid for words
that's an opinion not a fact, please report facts, and name the critics
If you think politics has criminals consider joining the Florida Bar they use the court to steal so its legal SC20-923, prime example of just how lucrative extortion can be. Paid for by 'crooks controlling the court' also known as the Florida Bar association
By arresting criminals and traitors .. yes he is
IMPEACHMENT ASAP ! Make another statement before elections !
Anyone who has been appointed by or works for Trump is in their position because they are to only benefit Trump. What part of that have you not gotten in the last 4 years? Nothing Trump or the Republicans do is for the greater good. President Putin would not have it any other way
Look at all the wittle snowflakes whinning
The term, in Italian, is consigliere.
Trumps corruption in every facet of his presidency should be hammered home by JoeBiden we can afford any more of realDonaldTrump destruction of the America we love. RepublicansForBiden Repost
Sort of like Eric Holder describing himself as Obama’s “Wingman”?
“Critics say” Obama was the most divisive president in history. Foots report it, since “critics say” it.
“Critics say” NPR is a far left propaganda outfit. Report that, since “critics say” it.
By “critics” they mean themselves and their FakeNews DefundNPR
“Critics say” is one of the laziest tropes for leftist journalists. What do “critics say” about leftists rioting, looting and burning neighborhoods? “Critics say” that Trump is instigating it. You guys suck so hard.
He is a bad bad man. So much for justice in America 😢.
Republicans can't win without cheating
Why is this a surprise to anybody. We all KNEW he would do this. THIS IS WHY the turd put him into that office.
When the critics are deranged leftists no one cares
DefundNPR NOW!
Of course he is. He is a crooked slime ball and that is why Trump picked him for the position.
everybody already knows this.
Investigation time
Trump put Barr in that position for that very purpose and everybody knows it.
To be fair, of course.
Is he the presidents “wing man” like the last administration AG?
He is dishonest from day one. He is his personal attorney not AG, which is missing in his term.
Barr has a look as though the only thing he ever wants to say is 'bacon.'
When will NPR start reporting on this administration like the banana republic proto-dictatorship it’s become? This is not normal, stop reporting as if it is.
Surprise
What’s with the “Critics say” formulation? Either he’s exercising the levers of law enforcement to benefit Trump, or he isn’t. Whether his “critics” say so is irrelevant. For the record: He is.
Remember Eric Holder, Barrack's wingman? Lol
Thought you would be a bulwark of integrate,Nope just a bulwark!!
The Constitution says the same thing, though. ImpeachBarr
Did you ever consider that some of Trumps opponents might have broke the law?
You can lose the “critics say.” He is. “Critics say it’s raining outside....”
'Critics say' Of course critics being NPR itself.
prosecuteBarr
Just be honest, it’s not a case of Critics say, it is fact. Start reporting the facts
Barr is simply getting to the truth about why the Russian investigation was started in the first place. There was no concrete evidence. It was all phony info leaked to the press to get the public whipped up into a frenzy. Every person deserves justice, and that is Barr's goal.
Traitor and criminal. This man needs to be held accountable for what he’s doing.
I know there is some value in taking the high road but when your very way of life is threatened by low life criminals like barr, it’s time to take the gloves off and put an end to the madness.
Critics say that NPR is advocating looting in the United States.
Why doesn’t Congress enforce laws that apply here? Or better pass some laws that stop this behavior.
“Critics say”? How about anyone with a functioning brain says
Imagine controlling every major institution and abusing your power in every single aspect then accusing an AG (who isn’t draining the swamp) of helping the president too much. These people are sickening.
Everyone in Trump's cabinet has made it their life's mission to show us that The Constitution is meaningless when put to the test.
By the time you guys call this by its name, it will be too late.
The “critics say” part is useless. Your reporters have eyes and ears. They know what is happening. Report the truth.
Attacking Marxists and anarchists that wish to see this country burn helps Trump, so the guy in charge of the Justice Department shouldn’t do it
Lawlessness & Disorder
What evil causes you to write this?
'Critics say' ... jfc npr sucks
Pretty sure treason is a crime the DOJ is highly qualified to investigate
I'm sick of 'legal experts'. The Trump regime has been doing nothing but breaking laws since its first day and all the 'legal experts' do is sit on their butts and say 'He can't do that, that's illegal.'
And what exactly does NPR do?
did not seem to mind when Obama’s FBI spied on the opposing presidential campaign.
Barr isn’t the AG that lied to Congress over a DOJ-sponsored gun-running operation. He didn’t lie to Congress about targeting political opponents using the IRS, & didn’t brag to an obsequious media that he was the president’s ‘wing man.’
I remember Holder saying he was Obama's wingman. I heard no complaints then. DefundNPR
O B A M A G A T E
NPR is FakeNews.
Why is it that NPR thinks history began yesterday? I invite you to go back and look at the insane political statements/actions taken by people like Eric Holder. My goodness you must think Americans are stupid, or as declining in mental capacity as Joe Biden.
tRump has surrounded himself with idiots and criminals, since the adults jumped ship.
😡😡😡😡😡😡
“Legal experts”? 🙄
Can someone PLEASE get control of this criminal administration !! WTF. ENOUGH ALREADY. There has to be! Please 🙏
is it public radio's job to do so!? defund
SadieTNResist He is also covering up the crimes of white supremacists to instigate violence among the protestors.
I'Ve had ENOUGH of your lies, NPR. You are making yourself the enemy of the people. Don't be surprised when the people see you as such!
No, he’s attacking criminals who also happen to be political opponents of the President. They forget that the harassment of Trump started with the Obama Administration using the government to spy on them candidate Trump. There has been an arrest and charges as proof already.
NPR promote a book that promotes lawlessness. I don’t want my tax dollars supporting this. You have abused your role.
Luckily congress won’t do anything but send a letter expressing concern, so no one has to worry about the boat being rocked.
Impeach Barr!
Apparently he believes his job is to use any means necessary, including gutting the Department of Justice, to protect his boss from accountability for his actions.
What the hell, NPR!! Why the hell would you promote criminal activity and the harming of innocent people!! What is WRONG with you people!! If looters hit YOUR homes or your parents or grandparents homes will you stand there with big smiles on your ignorant faces? I'd bet not!
Legal experts say if the 'opponents' used our government to spy on Trump Barr will and should probably do a whole lot more than make statements. Spoiler: they did. The way you twist the truth to run cover for Democrats is appalling.
remember when eric holder described himself as obama’s wingman? spare us your overt activism, npr.
That's right. His egregious conflicts of interest (let's put it that way) should be investigated, and he should be disbarred for his misleading summation of the Mueller Report, as well as his serious misunderstanding of 1A and his long list of abuses of power. (But he won't be.)
I’d say the attorney general counts as a legal expert too and he obviously disagrees.
I DON'T CARE!
After promoting looting and rioting yesterday, NPR suddenly is concerned about the rule of law. DefundNPR
ImpeachBARR
He should lose his license to practice law. Makes all respectable lawyers look bad.
Catholic America, Barr wants to destroy government to install Trump’s authoritarian vision. Barr is not moral & he lies. Barr is an embarrassment to Catholics everywhere. 2687 lawyers want Barr to resign. He didn’t. They’ll accept cancelling Barr’s license to practice law.
God, how I miss the days of honest and law abiding AGs like Eric Holder
Unless it was a dem ag Holder, who investigations are showing wasn't the saint people keep trying, harder and harder to believe.
Something about Loretta Lynch, Bill Clinton, and a tarmac meeting?
Legal experts like the FBI lawyer who tampered with FISA warrant evidence? hahaha credibility nada.
It's not NPR's job to advocate for anything, let alone looting.
Cool so can we do anything about it
and YOU are extorting $$ from American Citizens so you can engage in political insurrection.
Do Eric Holder.
I think npr being bias towards the left should cause their funding to be pulled. To receive taxpayers money it should be a policy that bans bias towards any party. Maybe should do a trend DefundNPR
Eric Holder literally said that he was Obama's wingman.
Then do something!!! All we ever hear is that this is illegal. Hatch Act , Emoluments clause, but nothing ever happens. If these people are breaking the law charge them.
It's also not the job of the fbi to spy on a presidential candidate. This is like 300 on the list of important issues in this country. Typical of npr.
It's not the medias job to promote division, misinformation and violence and yet you have guests to defend looting. 'And I think that’s a part of it that doesn’t really get talked about—that riots and looting are experienced as sort of joyous and liberatory,” said Osterweil.
I would say the same thing if I was being investigated for illegally spying on a political campaign and fabricating evidence. They are already flipping and pleading guilty Resistance
Why not rebrand yourselves DNCPR? It seems more fitting.
So what, not a single Democrat is doing anything other than sounding like Susan Collins
1st they came for the socialists, I did not speak out-I was not a socialist. They came for the trade unionists, I did not speak out-I was not a trade unionist. They came for the Jews, I did not speak out-I was not a Jew. When they came for me-no one was left to speak for me. WW2
We have a criminal president that Congress or anyone else in government refuses rein in. Maybe it is time for private citizens to do so.
DefundNPR
And it is his job to investigate civil rights abuses of police departments, and he refuses to do that. It'd be nice if everyone stopped pretending he was anything but a partisan stooge for an autocratic tyrant.
We need another fundamental human right protected by governments: AGENCY. See the detail.
Disgusting mealymouth garbage. Eternal shame on you NPR.
Barr is no longer the Attorney General. He's Trump's new Roy Cohn.
and this will do what? Nothing. What is the point? They have broken so many laws and norms that it literally doesn't matter. It's like the boy with his thumb in the dyke.
Attacking or just calling people out for breaking the law?
Trump is a criminal.
Make no mistake about it: the NSA has HillaryClinton's 33,000+ deleted emails. QueenOfQuidProQuo FBI IMPLICATED In Destroying Evidence To Help Hillary Clinton in 2016... MEDIA DEAD SILENT… - NeverHillary HillaryForPrison
BassettHoundBarr should be allowed to set up residence in the John Mitchell wing of a Federal Prison. He must have been a mentor of his.
One can't help but wonder what the reaction of foxnews would have been if a Democratic (the Party - these days that needs to be said!) Presidential had broken so many laws as the Trump Administration - in the past week!!!
What did they say when Eric Holder called himself Obama’s wingman? Nothing? Then they can STFU now.
Aren’t we seeing the same (but worse) with the New York DA targeting the Trump kid... but *crickets* from the media. Barr is nowhere near as blatantly partisan...
I have a hunch you weren't whining when Holder said he was Obama's wingman.
William Barr is going to end up in jail when this is all over.
But what are they going to do about it?! The criminal activity of this administration has been excused time after time. Some are excused from being accountable to “Law & Order”.

HouseJudiciary JudiciaryGOP why not call him out on this and even punish him if this is not permissible.
Didn’t you guys say looting is good?
Well Duuuuuuuuu.
Bull crap. So fed up with you haters, liars.
