William Barr threatens to sic Justice Department on states that don’t open on Trump’s schedule

Photo: Jabin Botsford/The Washington Post via Getty Images President Trump has intermittently gone to war with public-health experts, including those in his own administration, in an attempt to restart the economy fast enough to help him win reelection. His biggest obstacle — next to his administration’s inability to produce enough testing to allow local officials to safely reopen — is that he lacks the legal authority to force states and cities to open up.

Barr proceeded to explain that any governors who fail to define “common sense” the same way as Trump may feel the wrath of Barr’s Department of Justice: Now, normally, Republicans tend to favor state and local authority over the heavy hand of the federal government. But the difference in this case is that Republicans control the federal government some legal principle Barr hasn’t explained yet.

Because this administration keeps saying this is a war against an invisible enemy... meaning they are ok with collateral damage. Meaning... our lives for their greedy friends.

Or, having helped to engineer an extra-legal regime in the US, does Barr just worry that he’s rendered himself obsolete?

Good luck with that, Bill. Unlike the president, TishJames et al can read.

Trumps toady 🐸 barr

What a misuse of power. Barr needs to go. He does not work for trump he works for us, the American people and as such should be upholding the law not bending it to punish people who don’t obey the wishes of the dictator trump.

In that case all the people who’s loved ones died of COVID-19 should sue William Barr for wrongful death. COVID19 coronavirus CoronavirusUSA CoronavirusPandemic

Then when the death rate spikes back up, the states and citizens should hold him personably liable, sue him and locked him up.

stop calling it the Justice Department. It should be called Trump’s Grudge Enforcement Bureau.

How dare governors defy king Trump, the stupid! 🤣🤣🤣

IMPEACH BILL BARR NOW

Hasn't BillBarr pissed all over the US Constitution enough already?

He has no power to control the states. Go ahead and sue. The states will sue him back.

What happened to 'it's up the states and their governors'?

Lmao he ain't gonna do shit.

Barr is a horrible person. That explains why Trump likes him, and vice versa.

Barr can

Fuck William Barr.
