is defending the aggressive federal law enforcement response to civil unrest in America, saying “violent rioters and anarchists have hijacked legitimate protests” sparked by George Floyd’s death at the hands of Minneapolis police.
The testimony underscores the Justice Department’s ongoing effort to differentiate between increasing violence in some cities and the The attorney general has defended as necessary the broad use of law enforcement power to deal with the situation, but the department’shas opened investigations into use of force and other tactics by agents in both cities.
Beyond the federal response to the demonstrations, Barr is also expected to be pressed in detail about his intervention in criminal cases arising from special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation. The hearing will provide Barr with a forum to offer his most detailed account to date for his actions in the criminal cases, which he has said were taken in the interests of justice and without political pressure.

Largely peaceful my ass. Another fake news source popping up on my feed. 🖕🏼
Largely peaceful?
Gee his parents must be proud of him.
Why would the Minnesota Governor need hundreds of millions of dollars from the Federal Government as disaster relief for 'largely peaceful' demonstrations
He needs to be impeached and disbarred. He is a threat to our democracy. Prison for life.
“Largely peaceful” just like Ted Bundy was mostly a model citizen and neighbor.
And when these riots escalate and become full on insurrection I fully expect AP to continue spinning it in a positive light.
Wow, you never disappoint with your bias 😳🙄
Define largely peaceful.
Largely peaceful? We have the internet and know that is a lie.
largely peaceful my ass
Impeding an individuals right to travel on public roadways is not peaceful. If I stopped a woman from driving down a roadway by standing in front of her car would that be acceptable?
Well as long as Fuhrer Trump has Herr Goering by his side, this country is pretty fucked. I mean, we’re already fucked by Trump, Barr is just setting himself up to take over a civil war Trump is trying to create. And it’s nothing less. So fuck you Trump enablers and supporters.
“Civil unrest”? How about blmterrorism “the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims” blm is a terrorist organization targeting The USA 🇺🇸
Today’s DNC memo.
The alternative view is that these protests were far from peaceful.
es sind und waren keine friedlichen Proteste- wir haben alles gesehen! Lüge !!!!
“Mostly peaceful”? needs to buy a TV and watch some footage from New York, Portland, Seattle, Chicago, Louisville, etc. You lose the “peaceful” moniker when you set stuff on fire, assault people, and impede peaceful from living their lives.
ihr seid eine miese Lügenpresse und das ist bereits weit überm Ozean angekommen!
Mostly peaceful my ass
The video shown in The House chamber just destroyed the Democrats (and democrat media like yours) argument that the protests are peaceful. And that the police/fed law enforcement are the instigators.
He will bs the questions for the five minutes without saying anything and kiss the morons butt during republicans questions
🤦🏻♂️🥶
'largely peaceful'? Interesting spin.
Riots, and they have nothing to do with Floyd’s death. Nice spin, have fun in hellfire
Lock Him Up
I bet this punk is a 'no-show' cspan
Largely peaceful? C’mon man.
What part of the protesting has been peace. You liberal want people to believe whatever you write but we have eyes and these protests are evident!
Largely peaceful? Aggressive fed law enforcement? Have you not seen videos of fed building under attack with objects & lasers directed at officers injuring and blinding several, all in an attempt to burn a federal building down? Media like AP are complicit in this anarchy.
news is garbage
KMJNOW
How can you defend the indefensible?
Remember history. Hitler was elected on a platform to make Germany great again. Then he burned down the parliament building, blamed his opponents and became a dictator. You’re on that path USA. Vote him out or Democracy dies.
Barr even looks like Herman Goring. He has become Trumps head of secret police like Goring was to Hitler. Goring and Barr could end up with equal seats in history if he keeps on the course he’s chosen. The extra judicial police he’s deploying even look like Nazi SS.
The movement has been hijacked It has nothing to do with George Floyd anymore
Did Nadler write this article?
I think he will patiently explain the protection of Federal Property to the slow learners in Congress.
Justice needed here.
No justification for this bullshit. It is the oppressive government specifically named in the 2nd amendment.
Barr vs the Dems
Are federal agents disrupting peaceful protests? If so please provide evidence
_Politics Are you saying there was an aggressive response to the peaceful protests? FakeNews
Show us the carnage of this peaceful shit. I’d like to see what you consider non-peaceful
Barr before the White House
To his defense, he gave the same response to the LA Riots and made George HW Bush a one-term president.
Have 150k people died in these violent protests? No?
Just stop with the misleading wording like this. We know there’s legit protestors there who aren’t trying to set fire to buildings. It’s the black bloc assholes who are doing it. Why can’t you say it’s the rioters?
AP congratulates 'Peaceful Protesters' who throw bombs at Police.
If the Republicans don’t like and can’t accept our Democratic decisions they need to leave the country not send troops.
etuckerAP Many questions......
We saw for ourselves.
Aggressive federal response ? FakeNews
'largely peaceful' excepts the building they have burned and people they have killed.
There is no defense.
In a better Society than USA Barr would be arrested & put away from further destroying by being a Trump running dog & unleashing terror on American cities incl moms. We obviously no democracy. We have one man rule with consent of a stone age Constitution & rigged judiciary!
_Politics ‘Largely peaceful protests’? How stupid are your readers?
Nazis: 'Bring me the Jews!' This thread: 'I'll go ring the bell and get them for you, sir. I love your firearm! What ammo you using? Thank you for your service! Love you guys!' 'Ovens are fake news! The Jews, Gypsies, Gays and Intellectuals should have done as they were told!'
'largely peaceful'
'Mostly peaceful?' Huh?
Calling them mostly peaceful protest is not accurate. There were peaceful protest but there were and continue to be many non peaceful protest, that are not being reported. Why not
When the 'largely peaceful demonstrations' include (literally) hundreds of cases of arson, rioting, & looting, they no longer qualify as largely peaceful demonstrations. If local police had been permitted to do their jobs, we could have had peaceful protests with no federal role.
ImpeachBarr yesterday gutless SpeakerPelosi
30 people dead, hundreds of millions of dollars in damage/destruction....so much peace.
Is the AP not aware that many other outlets are showing the real scene? Or do they not know the definition of Peaceful?
Lock him up! 🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼
Peaceful protestors.
Largely peaceful? & your outfit wonders why the media is not trusted anymore. Shame.
Largely peaceful? ap you have no credibility. PortlandPolice
Barr thinks his morals and religion are above reproach yet it's ok to call protesters monsters and beat them up to make them behave.
Not peaceful. You are fake news. Be ashamed of yourself
FOLLOW THE MONEY:
Militia men in armor with weapons storm the capital to demand reopening; not one arrest. Protesters gather peacefully to represent equality; felony arrests. Why do we praise these heavily equipped brutes like to be 'American' you must arm yourself to the tee?
Good
Largely peaceful What the hell are you guys drinking!!!
Anyone who thinks these demonstrations are even remotely peaceful are out of your mind. These people are anarchist who are destroying towns, buildings, peoples livelihood, all without a single care to what they’re doing other than causing destruction.
Largely peaceful? You think the American people are stupid Billions of dollars in damages,black police officers killed,black trump supporter killed,two year old black baby killed. That’s peaceful? Stop dividing our county and tell the truth!!
Largely peaceful? where?
The ap is a tabloid outlet. That's all folks
Largely peaceful? You are ingrates
_Politics
'largely peaceful' 😂
Fuck Barr.
I’d rather listen to the original ‘rain man’ from the movie, than AG Barr!🤨 (imagine him arguing a actual case in a court of law)🥱
Civil war in oregon....separation? 49 states.
BarrCoverUp BarrResign
The federal law enforcement response is nowhere near aggressive enough
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 every time you losers say “peaceful” another building gets this destroyed.
“Largely peaceful” ? Are you people at AP fucking serious ?
Where's all those 2nd amendment people? Why is it that they haven't rallied against the abuse of power from Trump on the peaceful protests. Is it because the protests are about equality for colored people? Do they think that the minority doesn't deserve equality?
Complete lie. Complete. Nothing is truer than the phrase 'Fake News'.
TuckerCarlson will be pleased
Barr should resign.
Barr will serve up a word salad of nonsense, denials, don’t remembers, I’ll get back to you, can’t discuss that, don’t recall, what do you mean, I disagree with your assessment, i wasn’t aware of that, that is not the case...etc, etc, etc...
Mostly peaceful... took some artistic liberty on that one, didn’t ya?
Almost got it this time, AP. This bespectacled bulldog will defend federally-assigned fascist, unconstitutional violence against peaceful protests.
Not peaceful.
'Largely peaceful'? Who are you kidding? Should we believe you or our lying eyes? Stop gaslighting for your masters. We are not blind.
“Largely peaceful demonstrations”
Jonestown was a 'mostly peaceful' cult. If at any point the media ever reflects back and asks why it lost the trust of the people maybe they will be able to figure it out
etuckerAP The protests are still happening
_Politics Not peaceful.
Nothing peaceful about it - Go ahead and hand trump another one AP!! 😂😂
If someone were smart, they would pass a law requiring all federal officers in the US to wear body cameras and all video to be made available within 72 hours.
ImpeachBarrNOW
Gas lighting.. Feds aren't at the peaceful demonstrations they are at riots where federal property is being vandalized and damaged.
