Bill Barr - All-In With the Mar-a-Lago Raid

William Barr defends the FBI

  • Former Attorney General William Barr thinks attacks on the FBI are over the top
  • The decision would be made at the Department of Justice, by subordinates of the AG, and ultimately signed off on by the AG. The FBI would be told to go and execute it. The idea that the FBI is the problem here is misplaced
  • Barr was more disturbed by "the constant pandering to outrage" on the right, without discussion of whether the outrage had any merit
  • Remember, in Barr's view, Trump had been "jerking around" the FBI for a year and a half, so they had to launch the raid
  • Everybody knew in Republican and Justice Department circles was advising Trump to fire Comey before he knew his role in Russiagate
  • Wray is all-in with the Mar-a-Lago raid, and as it turns out, so is William Barr
  • Christopher Wray doesn't sound like someone who is "very cautious" about interfering in the political process
  • When selected as FBI boss, Wray denied any "spying" had taken place against the Trump campaign
