On Friday, Barr told the AP that both he and U.S. Park Police were in agreement on the need to push back the security perimeter. He said he attended a meeting around 2 p.m. Monday with several other law enforcement officials, including Metropolitan Police Chief Peter Newsham, where they looked at a map and decided on a dividing line.
Still, he said he did not give the officers the orders to proceed — they were already in the process of doing so when he showed up. Barr said it was a Park Police tactical commander — an official he never spoke to — who gave the order for the law enforcement agencies to move in and clear the protesters.
Several different groups, including the Secret Service and Park Police, were involved in the pushback on the protesters. Members of the National Guard were present but didn't engage with the protesters, Barr said. Trump also threatened that night to deploy active-duty military forces to the states if local and state authorities could not adequately quell the demonstrations, which have occasionally turned violent.
LockThemUp GOPBetrayedAmerica
Bill Barr is a lying Trump Puppet Boy. Margaret Brennan did a nice job exposing this on Face The Nation this morning. Our lives depend on removing this out of control President and his entire clan of lackeys.
Liars everywhere. Who cares anymore?
You're all the same so it really doesn't matter who the order came from...you hurt, injured Americans for selfish reasons...did anyone said 'no mr. president...do not fire onto peaceful protesters?' I didn't think so🤨
Totally agree. No one other than Trump did this and to avoid blame he's perfectly willing to scape goat anyone else including his own staff. High mark of a coward in chief.
Opps more finger pointing
Was that the question? Who ordered up the 'No Name' Militia Group?
attorneygeneral you are trump’s _itch for life. So you do what ever he says you do. No matter what you say.
Lies like a rug , just like the bunker baby
By the time they are done they will have the MAGATS believing Obama gave the order to attack the protestors.
Barr is a liar just like Trump is.
Promoted material.
Are we actually at a point where the military does shit and no one ever gave any order?
That's called passing the buck 👉👈
How about the dog gave the order... 🙄🤔
That's known as covering ones ass after the fact! Barr learned that from the trumpster who has used that ploy often in his life as his go-to move.
It almost doesn’t matter who gave the order - the buck stops and should stop with Trump. These are his people and he is the Chief Executive - it’s on him.
It was simply a spontaneous 21 gun salute to liberty except with tear gas. Coincidentally Trump walked across the street to pray and think about the Bible. Someone just happened to take his picture. Makes sense! MAGA! 🤠🤠🤠
Snakes...they sell and betray each other. GOPBetrayedAmerica
Poor Bill Barr thrown under the Bus. How does it feel Bill. 🚍🚍
This kind of flip-flop is common from the WH.
Nay, He just said “Clear it, we need to get to the church”.
So who did? You’re all complicit. Doesn’t matter who. You’re all sociopaths.
They just can’t get their stories straight, can they?
It was realDonaldTrump NOT Barr
A den of liars.
When will WH tell the TRUTH? Makes one wonder if ANYTHING SIGNIFICANT MESSAGES coning from the WH and reported to the media is actually truthful.
Anyone have a fire extinguisher? OMG his pants!!!!🔥
This Administration is ALL about the finger pointing, even if it's at eachother.
Who’s on first
Then who?
“a Park Police tactical commander — an official he never spoke to “ what is his name? Or did they put together a rag tag group from who knows where without ID so no one knows who is giving the order to attack peaceful civilians? No chain of command for an illegal action?
Why do the majority of you folks believe such nonsense?
No honor among liars ... can't get their story straight ... typical for liars
Couldn’t have been Barr, he was making a meatloaf sandwich. Liars Club president, and Barr are a disgrace to our republic. TRUMPRESIGN
Cowards.
Finger pointing over a horrible decision. Not surprising from this admin.
Well then maybe you should resign
LIES and the LYING LIARS
Bill Barr lied. Again.
The protesters were near curfew and police were trying to move them. Protesters started THROWING projectiles at police officers and protesters were not leaving. Police weren't the bad guys here everyone is OVER SENSITIVE and EVERYTHING blown out of proportion by LIBERAL MEDIA.
Once again another chapter in the ongoing White House story of the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing. Or they are just once again blatantly lying about it
Oh for fk sake. I hope people see how cowardly these idiots are. Constantly pointing the finger at the other guy. Man up!
Everything is covered in lies
He said she said what do u expect from dishonest representatives and administration wanna be’sthey r nothing but liars and cons
So we have a 'flipper' here?
It's like musical chairs with the keystone kops where the music stops and someone gets stuck with the lie! realDonaldTrump
Fake news. He said the opposite!
Somebody is lying 🤥 and there’s only two possible people 50/50 and you’d be right with both answers. Win/Win. More winning can’t stand it!
Unbelievable!
The administration of lies and deceit!
He probably didn’t give the order. Barr doesn’t do a thing w/o our FAKEPREZ telling him to. He’s just another puppet.
Seems Interior Minister Barr is reluctant to take credit.
Pure idiot AG. Disgraceful!
No one in the Trump Administration is responsible, at all... justsaying persist Vote2020
Sad when someone’s credibility is so shot that it’s hard to tell if s/he’s telling the truth.
This administration is all about PASS THE BUCK while they turn our military and police into an occupation force! TrumpResignNow BillBarrMustGo
Trump ordered Barr. He gleefully complied.
Droopy, the AG is wimping out. Who’s in charge? Let’s blame Dorian Grey, I mean Jared
Why would you lie? Nevermind, we know why.
I think Barr is, in fact, Droopy Dog using a new name:
Well who do we believe 😂😂😂
All these crooked rats now trying to distance themselves from their violent, un-American behavior.
Okay WH which is it? Again and again again. Lies lies and more lies. So weird.
If he didn't, then who did. If he's refusing then let him tell who did. Period.
So very unfortunate that this Administration continues to attempt to pull the wool over the American people's eyes. They do this on a consistent basis, and at almost every chance that they get.
So Impotus said it was Barr. Barr said it was not. Typical of this administration. No one ever takes responsibility.
Yeah, right.
Oops ‼️
I see the rats are starting to leave the ship
No one in the WH will ever take responsibility for anything!
They really need to get their stories straight. But then again, we all know they all lie so there’s not much reason to know who gave the order.
...there is a huge difference between giving on opinion and giving an order.
Lock him up.
Just a guess. He’s lying and stinks at it.
So we are now faced with the question who is lying - the AG or the White House? How did we sink so low? And hiding behind a tactical commander is beyond shameful. Somebody ordered that tactical commander to do what he did.
Just like realDonaldTrump, if Bill Barr’s lips are moving,you know he’s lying 🤥🤥🤥🤥
Ok! Resign! Or are you making too much money?
Like rats scattering.
WELL, PUBLICLY DENOUNCE THAT DECISION THEN.
So keep asking: who gave the order?!? Was it Trump or Jared or Ivanka that gave the order? BunkerBoyTrump
Maybe only the strategic one? SarcasmSheldon
If Trump had a dog, it would be the only creature in the white house and around you could trust.
It was all magic. No one gave the order.
😹😹😹😹AGBarr is a dumbass, it’s recorded that you gave the order so BunkerBoyTrump can get his photo op! Another dumbdumber whiteHouse episode, day 80!
Who’s the next scapegoat?
The Gang that Couldn't Lie Straight.
Typical of how they run the country. A chaotic creche with a cranky baby taking a stinky Trump, sorry dump everywhere and rubbing it all over
“It wasn’t me!”
Elton John’s let himself go a bit ...
No one in this administration ever takesresponsibilities for anything. They never know what is happening, who did it, why. This is the keystone cops administration
Gonna guess that's a big fat lie
Barr is covering up for BUNKER BOY. Barr will be charged when his co conspirator is for this. You cannot violate the constitution & get away with it.
I sure hope William Barr had a plan when he took the job Mr. Trump gave him. I seriously do not believe he thought that he might be going to prison after serving as AG. The problem is, he now's what he's done wrong, but he keeps doing it! Trump will pin all the bad shit on Barr!
A VERY KEY PLAYER IN THE, 'TRUMP CRIME CARTEL!'
This is to All Americans. They stomped on our 1st Amendment. Don't let facsim take hold. I don't care what party is doing this. Stop it NOW. This is bullshit. The D's&R's got more in common than not. We all getting screwed by both parties. Stop fighting each other over policies.
Yada yada yada
Whoever did it, PLEASE DO IT AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN AND AGAIN....................
Barr is a Liar and an authoritarian.
Betray your faithfull dog is not a good idea Donnie realDonaldTrump
Big old bully. Being confronted and can’t take the heat. The wheels of the bus go round and round
Lie, he said it himself
tRump probably gave the order after Bill Barr told him what to do. So there’s that.
Hummm, yea, I believe him and his band of lying Authoritarian’s. After all, as trumps personal lawyer, would he lie about these type of things?
You lie
Lock them all up.
Politico gets it wrong again.....
What is Bill so afraid of? This discussion about who made the order to disperse and gas the peaceful protesters is meaningless, it happened and they are all afraid to acknowledge who did it, that’s shows they all a bunch of cowards that want to throw the stone and hide their hand
They’re trying to distract us with distraction. Both are to blame
They both deny the truth long enough for the next 3 news cycles to distract until the next major crime. ImpeachBarr DumpTrump
Everything thst comes out of his mouth is a lie.
Uh oh, the Dollar Tree version of John Goodman is saying something contrary to the WH. Guess we’re getting a new AG, as well as a new SecDef. Neat.
Barr: 'So my attitude was get it done, but I didn’t say, ‘Go do it.’” 🤔🤪😱😷
Pussy
So no one can take responsibility for anything anymore
They’re gonna need a bigger bus.
Watch out,Barr!
This is from Barr's favourite network. It has to be true.
Fred flintstone lied...
Too many lies can’t keep up
Gee wonder who lied
Hey Fred Flintstone, blame Barney!
So he finally realizes going to jail for Trump isn’t his idea of a good time? Didn’t he already confess? Lol
He likely didn’t give the “tactical” order. He gave the “operational” order.
Who is lying?
The beginning of the end.
And soon, they will all huddle in the bunker and fight over who gets to drink it first.
Are we still on this for some reason?
Bill Barr= POS PIG
Violate civil rights and lie about it. Not under oath so fingers were crossed.
Liars. All of them. No integrity.
Boss is throwing you under the bus
Professional liars all. Can you imagine the daily council meeting when deciding who said what?
The long knives of deceit and backstabbing are out!
Looks like Barr didn't get the patsy memo
Someone did
Why should we believe anything Barr says.
Lemme guess. He told somebody else or made them understand to give the order and voila, he didn't give the order himself. That's how it works in this Orwellian 'reality' today.
So Mr Barr, this means you, the AG and your staff are the Keystone cops. You knew at the conclusion of Trumps speech, he would be escorted to the church (Ivanka's idea?). So, how were you going to safely escort him if you didn't clear the park, call BS.
By Monday the GOP will claim that Lafayette Park never happened at all. We should ask historians if Quisling was as a perfect a sniveling bootlicker as Barr is.
Someone has to be lying here. Wanna bet trumpanzees believe both of them?
Tactical is doing a lot of work here. Pin him down on what he means by that. Because I could see him claiming that he instructed law enforcement to make an extension of the security perimeter but not the precise order as to the means and timing of clearing the park.
Someone IS LYING!!!!!
As you said Mr. Barr, “history is written by the victors.” The Trump era will end, When it does, the victors writing history will paint you as a political stooge, failing to uphold the oath of your office. You will be deservedly villified.
Can we spell liar? Then who the hell did send the command? All fat cowards! Must have been Mr. Gumby, Jared!
Ahahahahahahahahaa... Antifa gave the order, right
They are making me crazy, he says he didn't and the WH says he did. I know that lying is really easy for both sides, so I don't know who to believe, I must be crazy.
There are more rats than ship on the Trump Titanic.
KatCapps Jabba the fuck. That’s all I see when his mug appears😁
RFrumpf That's what happens when you lie, it's hard to keep the story straight.
Billybar is full of 💩
Adolf Twitler & Reich Wing Gestapo Attack Americans Peacefully Exercising Their 1st Amendment Rights... HouseDemocrats Impeach! . U.S. Army (ANTIFA) in Nuremberg, 1945
Barr said he did that. Then Barr would know who said it, they were all in the same room when Trump had this revelation. Ivanka and Jared got a bible, the rest set everything up with Barr. So Trump could look like an idiot in front of a closed church with an upside down bible.
Had it worked the way they wanted and got more than 50% of the electorate praising the strong, decisive, oh-so-Christian action, he'd now be claiming that only did he give the order, but that he personally beat and gassed people in the park. But it's unpopular, so....
Barr did do it! He must be Impeached and held accountable for it! Barr is lying to us all again! Leopards don’t change their spots! This is a deeply unethical, immoral man! He has destroyed the DOJ! He belongs in jail and should be put there for this action! SpeakerPelosi
If they’re so proud of their decision, why do they keep denying they made it?
Well as usual, let's just blame the devil for the devil made someone do it
One more lie, probably antifa gave the order, maybe mueller did it!
Soon they’re going to tell us none of them were there that day and the democrats made the tactical order.
BS
Nobody gave the order to gas Americans on American soil. Shocker!!! It just magically happened . They will be blaming the military on the ground next
He was clearly part of the decision. OMGosh, a play of words! Same outcome
It's not like he has any more credibility than trump, so who really cares if he denies it...?
What's Barr eating lately... looks like a pig ready to get roasted...
The buck stops over there.
So nobody gave the order the cops and troops acted on their own nice👺👺👺👺👺
OMG, he's saying he gave the order, logistics at last minute put damn pressure down the line to get it done & now he says he didn't give the order? Fluck him, he's evil.
Liar
Liars.😝
Someone is lying
*cough*...bullshit...*cough*
That was the beginning of the end of the riots though, soooo worth it. Get out go home
If he want to remain Trump's friend, he just need to accept the responsibility and keep it moving. I don't think he is strong enough to go against Trump.
