#DOJ #Trump #trial
Why is Bill Barr not being prosecuted? ... Where is Merrick Garland? ... Does The United States of America have an Attorney General?
Garland is fast asleep behind the wheels. Don't waste your time.
No, the position is “Accomplice General”
You can’t prosecute a prosecutor for not doing his job. Just as you can’t appeal or sue a prosecutor for prosecuting or not prosecuting. A prosecutor IS THE LAW when he’s deciding whom to prosecute or not. And changing the law so a prosecutor can be held responsible won’t happen in the next few millennia’s.
What could change though is if the prosecutor who has the “first call” to prosecute someone doesn’t…. then others need to step in.
@@abrakkehakka1357 It wasn't just a "prosecutor not prosecuting". It was the HEAD of DOJ Bill Barr literally interfering with and obstructing justice so his boss would escape accountability. He did it with the Mueller Report and with the Michael Cohen case. "Individual 1" my *ss!
Garland seems to be asleep 😴 😢😢😢😢
Bill Barr has yet to be held to account.
Will he ever be? lol lol lol doubt it. TTJS rules.
Barr is "probably" a cooperating witness and waiting for a deal. But cooperating or not - he is still going to be charged with something. Also, he is a traitor.
Neither has erick holder
Navarro is (deservedly) in prison for defying a subpoena. Former AG Barr, also defied his subpoena, as did the non-lawyer Chair of the Judiciary Committee Jim Jordan, Committee members Scott Perry and Andy Biggs, and assorted trump cabinet members. Yes, MAGA, it really is a two-tiered justice system.
Just wait.
1 crook at a time.
It felt weird and smelled funny to many of us who were paying attention at the time but what could we do about it? How does a mere citizen sound an alarm that something skanky is going on at the DOJ? THIS is one more reason a free press is so important. Thank you, Rachel, for being our voice on a high profile platform.
Yeah free press and speech is vital to this country, but why aren’t yall listening to all other sources, why isn’t everyone raising cane about the criminals on the left they are all lying to us not one side is playing fair
That is thankfully, why we have Rachel Maddow!
Yes she is so right on. We were smothered with so much corruption it overwhelmed the system. Accountability needs to prevail instead of the normalization of crookedness.
When is Bill Barr going to be held accountable
☺️
Never.
Never
Epstein > Acosta > Barr >Trump
Barr is a fetid turd that somehow seems to have found a conscious after being complicit in Trump’s schemes for years.
It’s time bill Barr faces justice . He was a despicable human being
* Is*
IS
How so fellas. Name his heinous crime. Then tell me how he’s worse human than a serial killer(s)
IS
Yeah, sorry but I have to chime in on that, Barr IS WAS and forever shall be DESPICABLE. He was a sleaze when he was hired. WHY ISN'T MERRICK GARLAND PAYING ANY ATTENTION TO THIS?
Before I listen to your video Rachel I'll say what I've said for years. Wm. Barr ought to be investigated and then most surely be indicted.
It's called corrupting the legal system to cover up your own crimes and getting away with it
What would the Mueller Report have looked like had Barr not intervened ... ?
Exactly. Barr had his profile in courage moment. and was turned his back on our democracy. There shouldn’t have been any doubt in the Muller Report. No doubt in mine !!
This exactly!!
Exactly, he blatantly lied about the findings and mislead the country... That report should be fully unredacted and presented to the country...
They would have followed the money!
VERY INCRIMINATING THERE WAS RUSSIAN COLLUSION IN THE 2016 ELECTION FOR SURE.
Why on earth has Bill Bar not faced any accountability. Instead he is trying to rehabilitate himself on TV and being allowed to do so.
Where o where are though Justice surely lady you can’t be that blind.
He just backed Trump for the election, sooooo 🤯
Apparently what he did is not a crime.
Brilliant. Thank you. I remember this all happening at the time. Finally it gets called out. Bill Barr has plenty to answer for.
Sounds like rather than draining the swamp they replaced swamp water with sewage.
That's a fact
Make the Swamp A Septic Tank is accurate to how the RNC has operated since identifying as Trump's new MAGA TP.
Now shall all toilet paper be known as the Trump Party Platform, or the 2025 Plan?
Draining my pockets not the swamp I’m broke I need money
Exactly what happened....LOL🤣😆
Hilary said Trump drained the swamp, and replaced the animals with dangerous predators! Very timely reporting!
So when will Barr be prosecuted?
As soon as I get behind them bars then I’ll snitch on bar an it’s game over from there
"Trump Department of Justice: The all time oxymoron?
Never, and that is a crime in itself.
Hope Barr gets exposed, investigated & jailed
bill barr should be charged next.
Barr needs to be held accountable
@@duskopopov77 Obstructing Justice at the highest level
You did not watch the video, and you do not pay attention to true facts when they are presented to you as evidence. Trump created falsified business records to cover up federal crimes. @duskopopov77
@@duskopopov77 This video. Watch it...
Russian name??
@@DarrenMartin-bw8zi So because MSNBC runs a story on barr, all of sudden he needs to b held accountable, U haven't thought about Bill Barr for whenever when, MSNBC the morale authority of the country... right?
@@larrysteinke1839 There is no crime here. No violation of campaign finance law.
Assuming that this is true some former members of The U.S. Department Of Justice should be sued or prosecuted,
I can’t find a good lawyer anywhere I’m in so much trouble it’s not even funny
EXACTLY. Bill Barr is stuck between a rock and a hard place now… If trump wins he’s in doo doo for telling him in front of the World, “It’s over, you lost.” If Biden wins… the wheels of Justice will grind on - and hopefully flatten him like a tortilla!🥹
Especially Bill Barr covered up criminal actions in the Mueller report
*America needs the dictator. Let's destroy America by electing TRUMb 😂*
*Bush, Cheney, Alberto Gonzalez, Donald Rumsfeld and Karl Rove. Don't forget those liers and corrupts.*
*Nixon and gang too. 😂*
No Bill Barr should be indicated. 😊
Indict Barr NOW!!!
Merrick Garland is protecting him 🧘♂️
Ditto
I think that it might take Congress to do that because of the protections inherent in Barr’s official position.
There’d also likely be a statute of limitations problem soon, it’s all getting old now and just to cap it all off the current make-up of the Supreme Court isn’t likely to do anything other than support the objections that Barr would have to being prosecuted.
It’s wrong and it sucks so badly, but I don’t think Billy boy will ever answer for his transgressions.
I won't hold my breath!
Merrick Garland is moving so slow on all the "leadership" of January 6th cases, that anyone involved in the White House will be very old by the time charges and indictments reach them... for some reason.
An investigation on this needs to happen. Any lawyer that was involved should have an ethics complaint filed and disbarred.
BILL BARR has to answer
NO Redemption Tour for Bill Barr.
Can we please not forget about Bill Barr.
I’m a total clown send me to jail hurry
👈❤️👉📗
Bill Barr was definitely a Trump enabler, now he wants us to believe he was always on the side of the angels. I don’t think so.
Makes me sick to see this criminal traitor on news shows like he’s just a typical former AG.
He’s a traitor.
If he was in stocks . He would be a inside trader 😅😮😢
I would love to know what the heck Merrick Garland is doing at the DOJ - there are so many other people to charge with crimes.
Desperately protecting the status quo.
Collecting a pay check
That's why Rethuglicans want Garland out.
He is hiding under his desk He is SCARED SHITLESS of trumps MAGA MOB. THEY ALL ARE
And yet, Barr still shows up on MSM as some sort of honest broker.
I haven't been seeing him as much lately, I wonder if the news networks have been reading the comments? He usually gets reamed by large numbers of viewers who remember what he did.
I certainly haven't forgotten about that and I am vividly reminded of it every time a network has Barr on air to opine on the subject trump.
Bill Barr also needs to be held to account for his part!
anne 1579,he “dumbed down “ the Mueller Report and lied to tRump about it “exonerating “him while the Report actually listed at least 10 instances in which the investigation showed that Russian influence on the election was evident. Propping up tRump’s fragile ego was more important to Barr than his responsibility as Attorney General to expose his boss’s criminal actions.
Shame on you bill barr!!😡
Justice Department opinion not rules. This opinion from the 1970's needs to be questioned.
They call it DOJ POLICY A POLICY IS NOT A LAW SO A SITTING PRESIDENT CAN BE CHARGED
He behaved like this while president and then when he gets out, even after the attempted coup, MAL, all of it, you got people like Lanny Davis asserting he should be cut a break because he used to be president. The cognitive dissonance, the knee-jerk defense of aristocracy and oligarchy, it's so gd enraging
Bill lowered the 'Barr' for all future Attorneys General.
😂😂😂
I turn on my own friends an even my own vice president
@@transcendental-being Wit is the next best thing when frustration overtakes one's state of mind.. and this being on a daily basis...
But, this too shall end 😢
Barr should be disbarred and barred!
😂😂😂😂
I remember Trump tweeting Mr. Berman had resigned and then firing Mr. Berman after he refused to step down! Now I understand why!
Why isn't Bill Bar prosecuted
We have a marshmallow Merrick in the position. Typical burocrat. Even Steve Bannon laughed about him knowing they could role over him.
One might even say the worst crime ever committed in the history of our country.
I never wear a mask when I do my crimes u get it never wear a mask I’m here till 8
Not even close
I’d just like you to look up the public history of crimes and come back and justify your comment
Maybe you'd been better off with the British after all
Barr cover up in the Mueller Report as well.
this should be front page news across the nation and made available to all potential voters regardless of orientation
An existential threat to US
corruption
Barr should be brought to justice for tampering
Barr has been doing this for a very long time. He really doesn't have to worry as Democratic justice departments are totally ineffective.
Barr was correct that this was not a crime in the first place.
Also, if we can't trust our own Justice Department, then what rules do we as a society follow?
Just brilliant.
Thank you !
Not prosecuting a sitting president is a policy, not a rule. They could change it anytime they choose.
Exactly! It is NOT Constitutional.
CORRECT.
It is NOT a law...... anywhere in the USA.
Then we need to insist that this policy be changed. Along with changing the criteria for someone to RUN for any office: "No potential candidate who is being criminally investigated or has a pending charge in any court will be eligible to RUN for any position, be it city, County, state or federal government."
There are Trump wannabees all over the place. Does the name George Santos ring a bell?
I broke every law in the book I need new laws to break
👋
Sadly, I am no longer shocked by these corrupt individuals. I am angry, but also quite numb to their lawlessness.
I remember all of this but alot of people don't.
Bill Barr needs to be prosecuted also.
This needs more attention to ensure no president can take advantage of the justice system again.
I’m glad I’m not in the White House i get more time to be in a courtroom with a hang Jury
Biden and kamal been taking advantage since they been in the house lol
Just as the Biden adminstration is currently doing to Trump...?
Absolutely right!!!
You are so right! Hope then enact it before Biden leaves so he can have his day in court too. Throw Bush up there as well.
This should, no, must be shared nationwide!
Repeatedly 💙
Rich and powerful people dont live by the same laws as us little people.
turn your lens on the first Impeachment, and the Mueller Investigation.
This!!
Kudos to Rachel for de-memory-holing this "gaping wound" at the center of this case (9:13)
and at the center of the corrosion of democracy and the rule of law in America. Yow.
So what about Bill Barr???
He knows he's in trouble, that's why he's trying to make nice with everyone
I think Barr knew something was going down on J6 and said and did nothing..
Brilliant show, brilliant investigation. Thank you Rachel Maddow for opening up our eyes.
No instution will hold against corruption unless people with integrity uphold them in times of stress.
The banana republic things that people thought would never happen in this country has definitely happened in this country!
Well let;s call Trump Bananaman then.

Shameful, this is downright disgusting. This pains me to know that my grandchildren will be growing up in this No JUSTICE NO PEACE Society. I will be discussing this corruption and the players involved with them, by the time they get to middle school all the way through college…just shameful 😤🤮🤮
Excellent, important and informative segment RM & TEAM!!!
This is journalism at its best.
I remember maddow reporting on this when it happened
Indeed! Outrageous how not only did his sheer existence make a mockery of our beloved Fred Flintstone, but Barr's smarmy obstruction re investigations into Drumpf's rampant lawlessness combined w/his criminally complicit interference in Mueller's report, in multiple instances resulted in justice deferred/denied. All the while Rachel was sounding the alarm with factual presentation throughout.
The Founding Fathers NEVER intended for a sitting President to be able to exert so much power.
They certainly did not! Too right!
Thank you so much Rachel! I love that you're talking about this. I hope that MSNBC talks about this very topic more and more. We the people have a right to know and I don't think that alot of the voter's know the corruption that was taking place in trumps administration. Please please please talk about this more, it's the perfect time now and extremely important 🙏 💙
@MSNBC, would be great for you to continue this discussion - including why for the first year and a half of Biden's presidency Merrick Garland refused to do or allow anyone else in the DOJ to do anything about it. Garland's war cry was "We're looking forward, not back."
He definitely let the country down. It was foolish of him not to do anything to appear ‘fair’. It was unfair on the whole country.
Meanwhile the Country was wanting action to make sure NEITHER Party in the future ever tries this again.
We are where we are, because of Merrick Garland, Trump should be facing four indictments before the election, not just one.
BIDEN SHOULD BE IN PRISON !! CANT WAIT UNTIL HE GETS OUT OF OFCICE TO GO THROUGH THE EXACT SAME TRIALS,ACCUSATIONS AND INDICTMENTS. Biden is a TRAITOR to this Nation
They should have told the truth: “We are too afraid of being bullied.” Marshmallow Bureaucrat Marshall.
This is stunning and sickening. How can one tiny sub human be so broken?
Thank you Rachael for your excellence!

We've all tried waking up from the nightmare.
Garland will be remembered as the man who failed the nation at the moment.

Sadly, I agree.
Not sure how to dial down the political undercurrent while holding accountable political operatives/acts. Drump politicized DOJ (among other gov't departments), and there needs to a major effort to bring the gov't back to being professional > political.
The more that comes out, the greater the transparency and, I hope, a realization of the mortal danger of D Dump 2.0.

Many of us saw this years ago, how the rest of you missed it is beyond me... lack of action is complicity. We see right thru you.
