Former President Donald Trump called former Attorney General Bill Barr a “weak and pathetic RINO” after he defended the Justice Department’s indefensible raid of Mar-a-Lago last month.
“Bill Barr had ‘no guts,’ and got ‘no glory,’ Trump said on his Truth Social platform.
“He was a weak and pathetic RINO, who was so afraid of being Impeached that he became a captive to the Radical Left Democrats.”
Trump went on to excoriate Barr for failing to act on the Russia Collusion Witch Hunt, the FBI sitting on Hunter Biden’s Laptop from Hell long before the 2020 election.
“Former A.G. Bill Barr was fired long before I left the White House on January 20th. He acted very slowly on the ‘No Collusion’ Mueller Report in that the FBI and ‘Justice’ had the ‘Laptop from Hell’ in their possession, which totally exonerated me long before Mueller’s decision came out, years later – A waste of time & money. The Laptop information should have been released BEFORE the Rigged Election, not after it, for the VOTERS TO SEE. He was petrified of the lunatic Dems & of being Impeached!”
Barr told Fox News on Friday that the DOJ likely has “pretty good evidence” against Trump to have gone this far into its investigation of alleged mishandling of classified documents.
“I, frankly, am skeptical of the claim that [Trump] declassified everything,” Barr said.
"People say this was unprecedented. Well, it's also unprecedented for a POTUS to take all this classified information & put 'em in a country club, ok? And how long is the govt going to try to get that back?" — Bill Barr bodies Trump on Fox News even as anchors try to defend him pic.twitter.com/7HqOvf9xvp

“Because frankly, I think it’s highly improbable, and second, if in fact he sort of stood over scores of boxes, not really knowing what was in them and said ‘I hereby declassify everything in here,’ that would be such an abuse and that shows such recklessness, it’s almost worse than taking the documents,” he added.
Barr’s defense of the DOJ is rich considering his remarks in 2020 that the DOJ bureaucracy, intelligence community, and legacy media launched a “coup” against President Trump with the Russia Collusion hoax.
“For the first time in American history, police organizations and the National Security organizations were used to spy on a campaign, and there was no basis for it. And the media largely drove that and all kinds of sensational claims were being made about the president that could have affected the election,” Barr said on Fox News’ “Special Report” with Bret Baier.
“And then later on in his administration, there were actions taken that really appear to be efforts to sabotage his campaign, and that has to be looked at, and if people want to say that I’m political because I am looking at those potential abuses of power, so be it. But that’s the job of the attorney general.”
Barr never held the officials and agencies behind the Russia Collusion hoax accountable for their seditious efforts to overthrow a sitting president.
Instead he automatically gives the FBI the benefit of the doubt and presumes Trump guilty until proven innocent.
