In a recent interview on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” former Attorney General Bill Barr shared his belief that there is a strong likelihood of former President Donald Trump facing charges related to the events of January 6, 2021, commonly known as the Capitol protest. When co-host Robert Costa raised the question of Trump’s potential involvement in the January 6 case, Barr responded with a definitive affirmation.
Barr explained that while he had previously defended Trump in cases that he deemed unfair, he acknowledged the difficulties in prosecuting the January 6 case due to the First Amendment implications. Nonetheless, Barr revealed that his current perspective has shifted, and he now believes that the authorities will target Trump on this matter, with a possible indictment expected in the upcoming summer, stating:
“Yes. And, by the way, I defended him on cases that I think are unfair… I think the January 6 case will be a hard case to make because of First Amendment interest. But I am actually beginning to think they will pull the trigger on that. I would expect it to be this summer.”
Barr also emphasized the importance of protecting First Amendment rights and avoiding a situation where people cannot voice their concerns about an election. While he expressed some skepticism about the case due to the First Amendment implications, Barr still believed it was likely to be brought forward, saying:
“I am more skeptical of that case but I think it is likely it will be brought.”
Bill Barr foresees the possibility of charges being brought against Donald Trump in relation to the events that unfolded on January 6. He acknowledges the complex issues surrounding First Amendment considerations that may arise in such a case. Despite harboring reservations, Barr anticipates that the proceedings will progress during the upcoming summer.
It is important to note that the United States affirms the right to free speech under the First Amendment, allowing individuals to express their opinions, even if they deny the legitimacy of an election. Thus far, Trump has not been directly implicated in any violent actions at the Capitol. Additionally, the majority of protestors who participated on January 6 were not charged with acts of violence. Consequently, many perceive the potential charge against the former President as yet another unjust and politically motivated attempt to hinder his 2024 White House aspirations.
Screw Barr. Useless and turning into a rino.
Wont stick, more “lies”
