Anyone with half a brain can see the indictments stacked against Trump are a complete overreach by our weaponized DOJ, but Barr is actually calling these bogus charges legitimate and is practically foaming at the mouth to testify against him in Jack Smith's January 6th indictment.
From The New York Post:
Barr, in an interview on CBS News, brushed aside the argument by Trump’s legal team that the 77-year-old former president was indicted over statements protected by the First Amendment.
“It’s certainly a challenging case, but I don’t think it runs afoul of the First Amendment,” Barr said on “Face the Nation.”
“From a prosecutor’s standpoint, I think it’s a legitimate case,” he said.
The former AG added that he would “of course” testify in the case, should he be called to the stand — but sidestepped questions about whether he cooperated with the inquiry by Special Counsel Jack Smith that led to Trump being hit with the four-count indictment last week.
Fellow Trump administration alum, former Vice President Mike Pence indicated Sunday he doesn’t plan to testify unless forced to do so. Pence previously raised constitutional concerns about being compelled to testify before a grand jury in the case, but ultimately took the stand earlier this year.
Back in June, Barr had posited that “the Jan. 6 case will be a hard case to make because of First Amendment interest.”
Trump’s lawyers have raised First Amendment concerns in the case, which marks the third indictment brought against the former president in the past four months.
“There’s a lot of confusion out there,” Barr said Sunday of the free speech concerns.
“This involved a situation where the states had already made the official authoritative determinations … sent the votes and certified them to Congress,” he continued.
At this point, it wouldn't surprise me if Barr worked with Jack Smith to get this pathetic indictment pushed through.
The establishment is getting desperate, and traitors are busting out of the woodwork at this point.
