Former AG Barr: 'Easy Choice' To Make In November


There is not a ton of love between former President Donald Trump and former Attorney General Bill Barr but that does not mean the former top cop is supporting President Joe Biden.

After the Supreme Court decision that granted the former president some form of immunity from prosecution, the former attorney general spoke to FOX News host Neil Cavuto on his show “Your World,” where he explained why he is supporting the Republican nominee.

“How do you think a second term would go? It’s been a very good past five, six days for Donald Trump, with the meltdown of the president and the debate, with people still trying to figure out what happened there, and now these series of decisions that have gone his way, that he would be in a strong place, particularly in Molden, if he does get elected, with possibly a Republican Senate, maybe a Republican House, already there are signs right now that the House is looking into a lot of this stuff against Democratic prosecutors who were going after him, that they would do his bidding. Do you think that’s a fair shot, that they will do his bidding? That his appointees will? That his appointees, and that we’re already seeing it in a House that wants to go after some of the prosecutors who’ve been going against him,” the host noted.

“That they’re weaponizing the House now. That they’re weaponizing things already,” Cavuto continued.

“When I look at his first term, he had a very successful first term. He got a lot of things done against a lot of tremendous opposition. I hear a lot of rhetoric about him going after his enemies and so forth, but I don’t see any specifics as to that happening during his first term. I don’t minimize Trump’s flaws, and especially a lot of his rhetoric, and the effect that that can have on the body politic,” Barr responded.

“But I think, as I said, when I look at the two different choices, for me, it’s an easy choice. I think the threat to democracy and the threat to the United States and the most damage would be done by four more years of Biden versus Trump. And I think, given the particular problems we face internationally, the problem of the administrative state, the problem of the sluggishness of our economy, the inflation and so forth, that he’s the right person for that job. As between the two, and we have to choose between those two individuals,” Barr added.
