A federal prosecutor in Massachusetts accuses Attorney General William Barr of a 'dangerous abuse of power' by politicizing his position

An assistant US attorney in Massachusetts is the latest federal prosecutor to criticize Attorney General William Barr, accusing the top law enforcement official of a"dangerous abuse of power" by politicizing his position and doing the bidding of President Donald Trump.

"The attorney general acts as though his job is to serve only the political interests of Donald J. Trump. This is a dangerous abuse of power," James Herbert, an assistant US attorney for the District of Massachusetts, wrote in a letter published Thursday in The Boston Globe.In June, two Justice Department prosecutors accused senior department officials of politicizing investigations and the sentencing of Trump's longtime friend and adviser Roger Stone.

And you really truly believe he gives a crap about you..... just wow. Proven liar and con artist...clearly shows the world just what kind of character 50% of the US has.

Barr is just as dirty as Trump. Barr has dirty hands, Trump plans the dirt and Barr executes the plan

tack_sharp Why doesn’t the American Bar Assoc disbar Barr?

Holder was openly saying he was “ Obama’s wing man”. Now that’s politicizing a position! Where‘s that reporting..fake news!

Judgement!

Why not see what Maura Healey's window washer thinks about Barr and publish that as breaking news. CNN is pathetic. That's why you can't get near the debates since 'impartial' doesn't contain the letters c, or n.

Another disastrous left run city and state of course. fakenews

He has and will continue too but no one can touch him apparently and Trump will get him off in any case

Massachusetts 🙄

Bill Barr must be impeached,and his bar licenses revoked. He is a complete embarrassment to US law enforcement, and rule of law. Bill Barr is criminal minded.

Agreed this guy thinks he’s trumpy’s personal attorney. 🤢🤮

Go after that crook!

Maryc1850Sadler Great! Now lock him up. He can even just lock himself up and give himself a shorter sentence than a real AG would.

johnlundin Impeach Barr right now!

The 2020 election is Americans versus Russia and its Manchurian candidates. FoxNews nytimes washingtonpost ABC

Biden claims he’s a military family. Hunter was discharged for years of using cocaine!!!! he put our whole country and military in danger!!

Really!

Ooh. Bet he’s scared.

HiraethResists he is an abuser of his position! Disbar bar

SQUEZZY13 This monster needs to be IMPEACHED and REMOVED

Pathetic man

You mean he's back and people didn't learn anything when he let Reagan and all his crooks loose!!!wake up America

DOUCHE

Everyone forget about Obama’s “wingman “🤡🇺🇸

That is a huge surprise given MA has always been a blue state. CNN please report real news. Maybe the Russian spy hired by Obama to spy on Trump.

Kind of like a frog calling somebody ugly.

Over the past month Azerbaijan has been preparing for war - mobilization of troops and the rhetoric of senior leadership of Azerbaijan prove this. Azerbaijan is trying to resolve Karabakhconflict by military means. StopAzerbaijaniAggression ArtsakhStrong

So many accusations So few prosecutions RepublicansAreDestroyingAmerica

Considering the source of this information I will need to double check.

yes impeach that Son Of A witch

Bad seed planting his nose in trumps ass

I know. Enforcing the law is evil as evidenced by current democrat behavior and dogma.

Well, if liberals are claiming he's abusing power, he must be doing his job and holding them accountable

Massachusetts is soooooo NOT a red state

More people should join in.

He’s digging through the truth and exposing lies from Obama’s regime! Russian spies used by the FBI to spy on the Trump campaign? I can’t wait to see what else is found out! You media people are disgusting!

SchmattCheryl The word 'Unfit' doesn't just apply to Trump.

Aijgrose216A I hate looking at Barr's ugly mug nearly as much as I hate seeing Trump's ugly mug.

That federal prosecutor is correct

DavidTexBrandon

House speaker pelosi you must impeach this hack lawyer

Aijgrose216A Good for that federal prosecutor for saying publicly what we all have been saying in our homes. Kavanaugh, Barr, Barrett all Catholics. Being a cradle Catholic if it wasn’t for Pelosi I might have to rethink my chosen faith.

JudyB1313

Exactly! Great letter which speaks only truth!

What a sell out

He needs to go

A trapped rabid dog. Be careful when you trap him.

Whose going to play Barr on SNL and is their make-up crew ready to recreate this awful man's physical unfortunateness?

Like we didn't see that coming. Of course he is abusing power. They all are.

I'd buy that for a dollar! Bwhahahahaha.

This is staying the obvious. He should be imprisoned

Barr belongs in jail and everyone knows it

Lol

This is ridiculous, William Barr is not politicizing his position.

Azerbaijani armed forces have started massive air bombardment of cities in Nagorno Karabakh, targeting civilians. This is a clear crime against humanity. Armenia Artsakh humanslifematter StopAzerbaijanAgression stopAggresor

Looks like Barr is getting ready to release Durham’s report and the Democrats are freaking out.

Azerbaijani armed forces have started massive air bombardment of cities in Nagorno Karabakh, targeting civilians. This is a clear crime against humanity.

INDICT the MotherF after November if you have Concrete Evidence plsssss

I will do Facebook promotion of your business in the USA

He is either too incompetent or Trump through Russia is holding him to ransom. Something is not right.

ImpeachBillBarr SpeakerPelosi - PLEASE.

More like a federal nobody!

lovemychris DUH!

I really wonder what it will take for the House to finally ImpeachBillBarr American democracy is dying and there is no way there will be a fair election in November under this crime syndicate called trump administration SpeakerPelosi RepAdamSchiff RepJerryNadler

lovecomesaround Is anyone going to do anything though?

Lock him up

Hey one step at a time, justice confirmation first, then election and we’ll come to Ag Barr okay

A civilian was killed in Artsakh due to Azerbaijan's aggressive actions. Azerbaijan's crimes against humanity must be condemned by the international community StopAzeriAggression NKPeace KarabakhNow

theresamax This is true! We all see barr’s despicable behavior happening right before our eyes in real time! Thanks, Theresa!!!

Well of course he's abusing his power trump butt buddies do what they want cause know donnie boy will pardon em worst president in my 59 yrs,

He is evil personified!

deejay90192 That’s a given. He should already be facing impeachment proceedings.

If that is the case with Barr, then Democrats have done the same thing, with the wall. The episodes, the Russian investigation, Judge Kavanaugh interrogation, and failing to unite the American people' by constantly bad-mouthing their President?

Q3

Seen from Western Europe, we see the USA gradually becoming a dictatorship under the Trump admin with support from the silent GOP. The USA no longer represents democratic values around the world. A POTUS who is lying, cheating, bullying and insulting is a disgrace.

Lock him up. He's a criminal.

PrincessBravato Cone on Massholes! Let’s be the state that takes down these criminals!

I accuse of the same.

Better send a strongly worded letter

JBPNW9 Impeach him

Chuck, Pelosi what are you two waiting for!? HELLO!? ImpeachBarrNOW

Something Congress suppose to do but the gops allow this country to rot in corruption!

Another slap on the hand-big deal

It is close to an election.

Obama appointed never Trumper no doubt, snore YAWN

Now what ?

Meaning what?

Last I checked, Dems are the one making this guy famous. Never heard of him until they started putting him on all their news outlets. So, who’s really to blame here. 🤔

Why is no one filing ethics charges against him?

And? 🤷🏽‍♀️

Is that so? What about stopping corrupted Biden? You are hypocrites!

AG Barr best Attorney General in America history!!! CNN = desperate and nervous.

Such a disgrace

Duh. I know that's a simplistic response but, what took so long to figure that out? 🙄

Translation - low level bureaucrat wants to get invited to parties.

Hullabaloo! We're wiser now than ever.

AG of New York

ISN'T HE TRUMP'S PERSONAL LAWYER?

Thank you! I think it's been painfully obvious but no one has seemed to try and stop the creep.

RodHargrove Yes

Demoncrats are just weak. Very weak. Do nothing group.

AMERICA FIRST: President Trump Signs Executive Action Protecting Pre-Existing Conditions

I wish we could just rid of them all in my lifetime, but if I get covid I won’t see that, bummer, man!!

Eric Holder said he was Obama’s “wingman” — did this federal prosecutor have a problem then?

Going to jail yet? AHHH HAAAA. PEOPLE KNOW WHAT YOU DID. AHHHAHHH. TICK TOCK.

Ok, now introduce the next step: removal from the office of AG.

Wonder where that prosecutor was when Loretta Lynch was meeting Bill in the tarmac?😜

Impeach his ass!!!

A big Dope!!!

Trump is exposing the hateful New World Order for who they are, and the Democrats roll in the evil scheme. Haters... Spin how you want, the truth will come to light and expose all the evil.

Impeach.

CNN is running an infomercial for Biden. They are trying so hard to get this tool elected.

IMPEACH BARR

Fake News!

Ok and? Crickets as usual

Hello guys..Do you know you can earn as low as 3000$ in just 72 hours..inbox me for info..

Another blue state of decay

Where's the news about Hunter Biden? I wonder if New York’s Attorney General TishJames will go after Hunter Biden now that We know he took $3.5 million from the wife of the mayor of Moscow a known PUTIN associate? U would think it's on their mind that n the sex trafficking!

Such, short hypocritical memories.

reba2277

johncusack LockHimUp agbarrSUCKS

He is not the one who is politicizing his position. The massive amount of evidence shows who has. However, many who politicized their positions in 2016 & b4 committed other crimes as well. Wonder if media will find the $3.5 B the wife of former Moscow mayor paid to HunterBiden.

Sounds like people in Massachusetts should keep an eye on James Henry. He seems to be against actually going after criminals & playing his own game of politics. Meanwhile in PA Barr is helping clean up there

Barr is clearly corrupt. But then what? Barr just talks slowly and calmly lies. Then what? What’s he’s accountability when Trump let’s him do whatever. AG’s answer to whom? Congress? Then everything gets blocked at GOP-led Senate after being rolled for a year. Then what?

Barr must be taking advantage of Trump’s mental decline to push his own agendas. Lafayette Park incident was all Barr’s arrangement. Roger Stone’s commutation was Barr’s doing. And nat’l guards to Portland, then Chicago... Who’s checking on Barr? What are Barr’s own agendas?

Oh so desperate! MAGA! 🇺🇸🚂

YES, AG BARR IS 'A WANNBE NEO-NAZI REGIME LEADER' IN 'TRUMP WORLD' & HE NEEDS TO BE 'DISCARDED' ONCE & FOR ALL.... ALONG WITH POTUS/TRUMP AFTER NOV 3RD ELECTIONS!!!

Oh, another one surfaced who’s owned.

Haha

Just one federal prosecutor saw it so far?

Hello

Totally unprecedented...🤦🤦🤦

The abuse of power is with the DIMs—liars for 4 years re Trump & Russia; the investigation against the DIMs is running pace. And, it’s a typical DIM strategy, that they begin to be liars again, when they are under legal scrutiny, this time with a DIM fanatical federal judge!

Deep state liberal from super liberal Massachusetts can't handle a Republican administration. More news at 11.

Translation: 'A Federal prosecutor in Massachusetts is accusing Attorney General William Barr of doing his job & it's making the Massachusetts prosecutor look bad.' There... fixed it for you

you can see how much he cares

CNN has the I.Q. of a crayon

Isn’t this dirty James Herbert of the Whitey Bulger, Mueller, and FBI infamy that locked upon 3 men for a murder Bulger committed? Who helped hide Brady material? 🤔 SidneyPowell1

Time to impeach the freak. Kill two birds with one stone.

Sifill_LDF No Duh !!

He’s doing his damn job! Y’all are just pissy because he’s good at it.

Well if CNN said it.....we know it’s opinion not fact.

Is he related to Rosanne Barr?

Sounds like an attorney from the left.

Impeach trumps bitch

You mean like the FBI and James Comey.

SHOOK 🤣🤣🤣🤣🇺🇸

Impeach

what took him so long

Barr is the best AG we’ve had in a lifetime. Testicularity is exactly what we need to drain the swamp and protect our constitution and government from a deep rooted bureaucracy that has taken the power away from the people. He’s the right man at the right time!

All the politicizing that those losers have done for decades? The USAttorneys should be able to not feel childish showimg how saying that about him is proof of them doing it. realDonaldTrump should tell Barr to be a lawyer and defend himself

So, a partisan hack accused Barr of being partisan, and fake news CNN treats it as gospel and runs with the story? Meh, sounds about right.

Sifill_LDF This is report is based on an opinion.

That’s funny

Sifill_LDF 🙃🙃🙃

FBDM21015 Impeach Barr

johncusack Aaaaaaaaaaand? Nothing.

Eric Holder has entered the chat

Impeach him Now. Him is Bill Barr

Well no shit

Every republican member within the system of American's government used dangerous abused of their power of public office for their own personal gain. So why shouldn't they not be removed from the Government of the people. All that they're doing is to cause harm towards everyone.

Very clear

Somebody’s nervous

Remember the show the flintstones Barr looks like fred

Bill Safire, of all people, branded Barr the “Coverup-General.” Nearly 30 years ago.

Blah blah blah

About time.

Attorney General accused of politicizing and abusing his power by serving President Trump's political interests.

🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤮🤣🤣🤣. TDS at its high.

He's bucking for the US Attorney's job if Biden wins.

Desperate Democrats are unattractive electorates vote GOP

Impeach barr now!

OH STFU. CNN!

johncusack Perpetual grumpy face.

SpeakerPelosi - helloooo TheJusticeDept needs a little “impeachment “ action to correct this problem... wewantourcountryback

Sifill_LDF And he would be correct

Left wing sock puppets are getting desperate. Too funny

😂😂😂😂😂BoooooHooooo

Is he just tuning in ?

Impeach Barr!

Barr is totally conflicted it’s mind bending. He doesn’t even to try and conceal his siding with Trump and total blinding support, surely there could be a breach of his duties in his appointment.

Sifill_LDF Begin impeachment SpeakerPelosi

Well duh! Ya think?🤦‍♀️

CharlieBakerMA is “ dangerous abuse of power “ he’s the real problem!

Why only one? Shows how F’d US justice system is if only one has the balls to say it.

Team up with SDNY and take ‘em both down.

😂 Y’all are in for a rude fucking awakening.

This criminal needs to be in jail

Attorney General should abide by the Constitution. But sometimes Democrats trying to nitpick.

William Barr needs to be disbarred. He had no business practicing law or better yet defending it.

Go get him!!! They ALL need to be prosecuted!!

'For 30 years I have been proud to say I work for the Department of Justice, but the current attorney general has brought shame on the department he purports to lead,' Herbert added.

Just like Comey politicised the FBI under Obama?

El Barbosa de Trump.

Go get him

Sifill_LDF He belongs in Maximum Prison.

So who gets the top bunk in prison? Trump or Barr

Barr is a most criminal person in the whole Trump’s administration.
