Attorney General William Barr said in an interview airing Friday that the point of the Justice Department probe into the origins of the federal investigation into Russian election interference is to determine “whether government officials” abused “their power and put their thumb on the scale.”
"I’ve been trying to get answers to the questions and I've found that a lot of the answers have been inadequate and some of the explanations I've gotten don't hang together,” Barr said in an interview with Fox News.
Good man, he's talking about himself, right ? DisBarr
Trump and his lieutenants did.
You know who’s putting his thumb on the scale? agbarrtraitor
That let Trump win? This makes 0 sense. More gaslighting.
Well, we know the President had his thumb on the scale now Barr is putting his ... on the scale
Yea his name is DT B
Gee, I have all the faith in the world in your good intentions on tthis subject.
No. You are doing that for 45.
Omg! And you mean his thumb is not on your xxx? Look at your own action Mr Barr.. such hypocrisy. Oh well then again it is the current admin. Freakshow..
AG Barr wouldn't make comments like this unless he knew thumbs were indeed put on the scale. MSM will lose a lot of talking heads when the investigation is completed.
Republicans in congress are criminals, this is how Trump has them under their thumb, they must be voted out. Republicans have become a Cancer on the United States. ABC CBSNews CNN FoxNews MSNBC SenateGOP HouseGOP SenateDems HouseDemocrats
Can’t wait, go get em. Bill.
Barr has no future credibility! His word and his so called findings will mean nothing! Barr is a corrupt partisan hack that should be arrested for lying to congress as well as contempt of Congress!
Boomerang effect, finally! Dems are nervous 😟
Distraction, diversion? Trump!
The Trump admin & their puppet sycophants like Barr (w/GOP that enables it) are weaponizing our democracy (& dare I say constitution) by playg legalese semantics over the founders' intent of ethics & morals, to further Trump's power grab. It's sick. It's poisonous. Dangerous.
It’s clear they did. The crimes of Democrats continue.
Mr. Barr, it appears that you drove a wedge under the scale to keep it from weighing Trump's involvement in conspiring with Russians to stop Hillary Clinton from becoming president.
realDonaldTrump Barr is wasting American tax payer money, unless you plan to pay out of your own pocket for this? 🙄
Maybe we should see it first?
Plan B. Serious crime. Make Watergate look like a misdemeanor. Russia? No our biggest enemy is internal.
It's difficult to put your thumb on the scale when you're standing in the scale.
Barr did.
It sure looks like RealDonaldTrump has put his thumb up AGWilliamBarr’s ass and he is liking it!
And a plethora of thumbs to investigate.
We the people need to know if you are our lawyer or trumps?
When I read some of the comments in here by liberals I wonder when some of these dems get locked up what will these liberals do?
US must know how many democrats tried to over throw the elected president. Democrats are pointing fingers at each other. The plan was for Hillary to win & none of this treasonous shit the dems did would have come out. Get ready for prison.
TheJusticeDept Let’s start with you Atty Barr...
They didn’t before, but they certainly are now...
Barr has his whole arm on the scale. Since day one. Kind of important to note the blatant hypocrisy of his words. If the FBI can’t look into Trump transition officials talking repeatedly to known Russian agents, how are we protecting our democracy?
Punk...Barr !
If I was in Barr’s shoes I wouldn’t want to talk about scales. 😂
There was a thumb. It was BumblingBarr.
The irony.
... top officials, like you, or maybe Trump.
He accused orbere
SpeakerPelosi is getting her ass kicked. Plain and simple.
Lmao the man who gave us his biased interpretation of the report he doctored to make his client seem innocent is now accusing others of 'putting fingers on the scale'. You can't make this shit up.
AG Barr is the only one I’ve seen put a thumb on the scale of Justice when he released his 4 page opinion
Well we know one current top official who has two thumbs and both feet on the scale right now!
Oh he knows the answer but he not saying anything yet! TICK TOCK!
Barr why don’t you investigate the individual that tried to stop the Mueller Report Who life, who took the 5th and who destroyed evidence. How many investigation do you need to determine if. FICS was legally
And yet when they put their thumb on the scale to enable Trump that’s ok.
Is that anything like you putting your 400+ lb lard ass on the scale when you wrote your 'Barr report' ramblefuckery and tried to pass it off after you refused (and have continued to refuse) to release the Mueller Report? Asking for billions of concerned Americans...
Such a fool.
Look in the mirror 😡
The only thumb on scale was TRUMP and all his GOP yes men !!!
Yes, Barr did put his thumb on the scale. Barr lied to congress and obstructed justice and should be arrested. The earth is NOT flat simply because Barr says that it is. RepAdamSchiff RepJerryNadler SpeakerPelosi LindseyGrahamSC JohnCornyn senatemajldr
It would have been the republicons like trump, mcconnell, graham, kennedy, rand, nunes and many more.
William Barr has certainly put his entire hefty weight to give Trump+family+associates a free pass on collusion with Russia,obstruction of justice,power abuse & corruption
Barr has no credibility
That would be you TheJusticeDept Mr.Barr. Americans want to know what’s being done to prevent foreign powers from meddling in our elections again. Protecting Trump isn’t your job. You work for the American people and you took an oath to uphold the Constitution!
he thinks everyone is corrupt just because he is
BS Propaganda
They did. They disclosed the Clinton investigation, but kept the Trump investigation a secret.
Trump was busy on his knees to Putin you duck
He needs to retire again, and stay retired, his reputation is gone.
The only thumb is up his ass.
He’s projecting again.
Oh this goes higher than Comey. And the idiots parroting liberal talking points disparaging Barr are manipulated fools.
Wait, I know the answer!!! Yes, Barr did put his f*%king thum on the scale of justice.
barr is doing great Job as trumpy’s Personal Lawyer
Barr is corrupt
“AG Barr: US must know whether top officials 'put their thumb on the scale' during Russia investigation” Americans must know if Barr put his thumb on the scale wrapping up the Russian investigation What’s his game?
After mopping up 0bama’s weaponized justice system go after the dirty Ad-Council.
Wouldn't Mueller have started from the very beginning in his investigation?
What about those who put their thumb on the scale to obstruct justice?
He is not concerned how history will remember him!
If Barr held an honest investigation he’d have to admit that Putin is the one who put his thumb on the scale.
Barr is putting his ass on the scale here.....
Excellent
I think we already know this. There was more than one thumb on that scale.
Can we trust Barr in his findings? Look at his work so far; 4 page summary of Mueller’s report. His quick assertion of Trump’s innocence. This is what I call a witch hunt!!
You did trump did Manafort did Donny junior did
i was at a market my when i was a kid and saw a man catch the butcher/store owner 'thumb' the scale. he jumped the counter and grabbed a butcher knife and chased the butcher around the chopping block swearing he was going to cut the butcher's thumb off. he didn't of course. 😀
Let me guess, the report will come to him and he'll release a summary.
And, he’s exactly correct but you guys at NBC have no appetite for the truth.
Trump’s puppet!
We also need to know how hard you put your thumb on the scales helping trump! You’ve got some nerve even opening your mouth!
Oh come on you know what happened it’sin the report we all know bits & pieces share the reports. Read the letter from Mueller again. Now who’s dragging this out get it done.
Barr has certainly put both of his thumbs on the scale. He’s complicit in the realDonaldTrump cover up of Trump’s crimes. ImpeachWilliamBarr PutinsGOP
Ok. Go at it. But if Yrump committed crimes those are not pardoned if a scale got nudged.
Fair minded and unbiased millions would agree with AG Barr. NBC has lost credibility for it turns and twists the facts, therefore I quit watching it. I miss my favorites Huntley and Brinkley.
Only on all the criminals, that bother you?
You mean in the way Barr put his on the Mueller report?
Just like he did with muellers report.
It’s got to suck right now for the Clinton’s and the others involved.
They didn’t. He IS now
Lies lies lies, obstruct obstruct obstruct He's Trump's new fixer. Go around him.
I wouldn't underestimate Bill Barr. He's going to get the job done. People can mock him all they want; he will find out what happened concerning this investigation & its origins.
Ok. Release the unredacted report.
You mean like you did in the Mueller reports finding. FAT BOY!
Every time tweets and headlines like this treat what Barr's doing as business as usual, another nail is driven into this country's coffin.
Wind bag¡!¡!!
Political Hack. He needs to go.
This fat fuck *knows* Trump and his campaign were aware of, aiding, contributing to, and/or benefiting from Russia's meddling in the 2016 elections, as well as interfering with and obstruction the investigation into that meddling. He KNOWS this. He is a Crook ImpeachBarr
We should worry more about the scale being recalculated by foreign entities. By the way it seems to be in progress.
'I'm not saying that it happened..' Just dropping the seed so you can let it grow in your relatively empty minds.
SpeakerPelosi Evil wins when good people do nothing. The Senate Will not let you pass anything. So what can you do? You can start impeachment proceedings for Donald Trump and William Barr. Hold them accountable, show all voters their crimes. Show Democratic voters you care.
Damn right!
This guy is just as bad as trump
Putin put his Koch on the scale
We need to know. Be fair and thorough
And his whole arms - weight on the Meuller report. Does the dance so willfully. Lies like a rug, complains about the furnishings.
That's just RICH.. this guy has the nerve to talk about putting one's thumb on the scale
US must know the degree that Trump and his administration illegally obstructed justice and the reason justice was obstructed. Further, US must know why Barr attempted to exonerate Trump wo looking at evidence, contrary to the Mueller report.
What are the chances an AG who came to office with an agenda on the Russia investigation won’t find wrongdoing where he already believes it exists?
Barr cannot be trusted or believed! He has lost all credibility
Well we already know the President tried - albeit unsuccessfully
I can’t wait to see what’s in the IG report.
Democrats are looking nervous!👍🤣😂👌😂🤣😂🤣😎🇺🇸☝️
JOKE
AG Barr: US must not know that Trump officials 'put their thumb on the scale' during Russia interference campaign
The US dont need you Barr. Times up. Lets get them both out of there.
It’s amazing. Democrats are outraged over Russian trolls on social media but don’t give a crap about our own institutions spying on a presidential campaign. That makes them look dumb and 💯 partisan.
He looks like he's spent half his life on and off scales. Experience does count for something, even in this case....HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
If those “top officials” did nothing wrong as they have been professing while on their daily paid news cycling, they should let it play out if there’s nothing to hide.
Barr putting his thumb on the scales of justice and tipping the whole thing over
AG BARR made sure the scales of injustice favor CORRUPT TRUMP ADMIN.
This guy wants to discredit the FBI to favor Frump. He needs to go 🇺🇸
The FBI did put their thumb on the scale and tip the election in favor of one candidate. Comey stated shortly before the election that the FBI was re-opening the examination into Clinton emails, and didn't say that people in Trump's campaign were also under FBI investigation.
Barr and Trump... Both, the equivilant of vomit.
Says the guy with the weightiest 'thumbs' in the administration.
Spoiler Alert: They didn't.
He put his entire old, cottage cheese looking ass on the scale.
He knows they all have been caught with their hands in the cookie jar
Comey JohnBrennan Clapper CNN be like....
You mean like you did, you great pillock!
Dies anyone believe anything this corrupt bought and paid for AG says
Barr's thumb head & ass are all made of lead apparently & he jumped on the fucking scale the nanosecond he said the word 'spying'. This man has no credibility with the American public.
While Trump was president or Obama? It’s so hard to keep up.
He is talking about the President and his staff right? Nothing like Banana Republicans.
And folks, this man knows a thing or two about scales.
SO FAR 26 FBI/DOJ employees have been removed, reassigned, Demoted, retired early or fired for their parts in the Clinton/DNC/FISA. Next up Inspector General Report
Barr knows....and it will be glorious.
Ds are scared to death. If Barr turns up an Intel / DOJ operation to swing the '16 election it will make Watergate look like a garden party.
They did -- and they work in the White House and apparently now, the DOJ.
AG Barr says, while he has his entire hand on the scale to protect Trump and the Republican Party from investigation and indictment.
yeah, your thumb on the obstruction side.
