Barr says US potentially has ‘very good evidence’ Trump obstructed justice in classified documents case
Former Attorney General Bill Barr said Sunday that investigators probing the potential mishandling of classified documents by former President Trump likely have “very good evidence” that Trump attempted to keep authorities from obtaining the materials after he left the White House.
The case against Trump, Barr said, comes down to the matter of how long it took the government to get the materials back, which will play a significant role.
“He had no claim to those documents, especially the classified documents. They belonged to the government. And so, I think he was jerking the government around. And they subpoenaed it. And they tried to jawbone him into delivering documents,” Barr said.
“But the government is investigating the extent to which games were played and there was obstruction in keeping documents from them. And I think that’s a serious potential case. I think they probably have some very good evidence there.”
Barr reiterated Sunday that of all the legal woes facing Trump, the classified documents probe was the one to “be most concerned about.”
Barr said he believed that before classified documents were discovered at the homes of President Biden and former Vice President Mike Pence that Trump was likely to be indicted in that matter.
“And I still think there’s a very good chance of that because — and I think it depends on how sensitive the documents were, but also what evidence they have of obstruction and games-playing by the president and the — and whether he directed people to lie or gave them information that was deceitful to pass onto the government,” Barr said.
Trump’s handling of classified documents is under investigation by Special Counsel Jack Smith. The probe opened up following the August 2022 search of Trump’s Florida Mar-a-Lago resort.
In the aftermath of the search, many Republicans quickly blasted federal law enforcement officials, arguing the search was an unprecedented attack on a former president and saying it signaled the politicization of the justice system. Barr pushed back against such claims.
I don't buy a damn thing Barr tries to sell
"Potentially".
= shooting in the dark
Barr = deep state faggot. That's all you need to know.
This
Doesn’t the President have the power to declassify whatever he wants?
that is a big YES.
"No claim"? POTUS has ultimate authority to what is classified and not. This has always been the precedent.
I don’t believe what he said but he could be setting up a smoke screen and that it’s Barry being investigated and he is telling us they got the goods on Barack Hussein Obama Soetoro Sobarkah aka Backdoor Barry Sotoro
He did extend Durham’s investigation in Dec before Biden’s inauguration.
And what has Durham produced? Nothing
Ok guys I'm losing the plot here. I keep getting conflicted info about barr. Is he white hat or black?
Is he a fat guy or thin guy?
Double kek
Craziest movie ever made, you think you have it figured out & boom, plot twist. I've got to where I accept the players are playing their part & we'll find out whos who when they roll the credits. Surprises ahead.
Deep State - Trojan Horse / He betrayed Trump more than once and he more importantly betrayed the American people ….This guy is wrapped up in Hillary money laundering… he’s a POS!
I gave him the benefit of the doubt at first because he could play the bagpipes but that wore off long ago!
He could have kept quiet and faded into a comfortable retirement. But the fact that he is speaking out means he is being told to do so by someone that has control over him. It looks like black hat control, but there is a possibility that white hats are wanting to remind everyone of the Mar A Lago raid.

Not sure if good decode but felt compelled to express it. It's not the story it's the message being sent. Listen to the signal not the noise.
Happy Easter, All.
I keep thinking this classified docs BS is going to ultimately boomerangs on the hildabeest as she had thousands of classifified docs that she had NO right to have in none secure settings (including asking her housekeeper/maid to pick some up off the printer iirc) and she had no authority to declassify anything.
He may potentially, possibly, there is a chance, he might have a case there.....if I had to guess 🤣😂🤣
When Trump is accused of something he always says he did not do it. If that is not obstruction of justice then I don't know what is!
Barr also said there was no election interference
Barr is trying to blow smoke and it will back fire. Trump is a straight arrow. The ones that will be found to be wrong are Obama, Biden and Pence. Seems strange how they coincidentally found documents at Biden and Pence’s places, especially Chinatown in an unsecured location for Biden.
Benedict Barr is a Bastard.

Hail-Mary effort.
