Bill Maher labels AG Barr's clearing of Donald Trump in Russia probe a 'high-tech coup'

Political commentator and comedian Bill Maher roasted Attorney General William Barr on Friday night, lambasting the nation's top prosecutor for his finding that there had been no collusion between President Donald Trump's campaign and Russian efforts to sway the general election.

At one point, the host quipped, referring to Trump: “He may not be a Russian spy, but he is a Russian asset," laying plain several jokes he had made during his opening monologue. Many pundits and politicians critical of the federal administration believed the document would link Trump's campaign to Russian efforts to influence the election, as well as show Trump officials obstructed justice during Mueller's long-running probe. Barr's conclusion that there wasn't sufficient evidence to prove either charge took the wind out of some of their arguments.

Eric Holder knocks Trump AG for burying Mueller report, just the 'beginning'In an exclusive interview with MSNBC anchor Ari Melber, Former Attorney General Eric Holder makes news by saying Trump Attorney General Bill Barr is handling the Mueller report in the “wrong” way, which is troubling and departs from clear precedent. Pressed by Melber, Holder adds that Congress must get the Mueller Report and decide any obstruction case against Pres. Trump – not his handpicked A.G. Holder adds that this is the beginning or “middle” of the process, not the end. Lib flakes are makin every day better and better by thier refusal to deal with the reality that they’ve been lied to for two years and still refuse to hold those who lied to them accountable. Instead they double down on stupid. Not surprising. MAGA Mueller pussed out for some reason.

Only if trump & all these folks on here commenting against him-where are ya’ll when a REAL hate crime occurs? It would be nice other than “very fine people”🤷‍♂️

Former FBI Director James Comey 'can't quite understand' why Mueller passed obstruction decision to Attorney General Bill BarrFormer FBI Director James Comey said he had 'great faith' in Robert Mueller, but he's still confused by the special counsel's decision to pass the buck on deciding whether President Donald Trump obstructed justice in the Russia investigation. Comey, who was fired by Trump in May 2017 He's not too bright We say to set up Barr. Seems to have worked. I can’t quite understand why Mueller hasn’t handed over a copy of the report to Pelosi. Or spoken up. Or SOMEthing

Former FBI Director James Comey 'can't quite understand' why Mueller passed obstruction decision to Attorney General Bill BarrFor the same reason Hillary did not face charges for deleting thousands of emails and destroying the servers. This guy Comey needs to go away It quite possible Mueller didn’t. He was probably lied too. After all tRump picked Barr, his son works for tRump and his daughter. Sure sounds like cover up to me.
