    Former Attorney General Bill Barr defended his former boss, then-President Donald Trump, in response to the latest indictment out of Fulton County, Georgia, against the 77-year-old Republican presidential candidate, but predicts that he will be convicted in one of the two federal cases that he faces by next summer.

    Barr made the remarks during an interview on Fox News Thursday afternoon after Trump was charged at the start of the week with 13 felonies in Georgia over his alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.

    "Well, I'm not happy with the Georgia case," Barr said. "I think it's much too sweeping, much too broad, excessive case that is - make it look like people are piling on and being excessive to Trump and feed the narrative that he's being victimized here. And I also think there's merit in the point that this is a case that I don't think is going to be triable before the election. It's just too sprawling."

    Barr also hit back again on the charges out of the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, saying that it was a political hit job.

    Barr said that he believes Trump will be convicted on some of the dozens of felony counts that he faces in the federal criminal investigations into his handling of classified material and his alleged actions to overturn the election.

    "I think the federal cases are legitimate," he said. "At the end of the day, at the core of this thing, he engaged, in the case of the documents, in outrageous behavior where anyone would be prosecuted. I don't know of any attorney general who could walk away from it. He's not being prosecuted for having the documents. He's being prosecuted for obstruction - two egregious instances are alleged. So, I think that's a very simple case, and that should be tried. If the judge is anywhere competent, that can be concluded before the summer, and the other case after the election, he, in my opinion, he did cross the line. It wasn't just rough and tumble politics. He crossed the line."

    Barr said that if the decision was up to him, Trump would not go to jail and instead would pay a "very substantial penalty."

    Barr also added that the lawyers in the White House at the time after the election warned Trump "that if he kept on doing this, he would spend the rest of his life tangling with the criminal justice process."


    "And that's exactly what's happened," Barr added. "He shouldn't be surprised and no one else should be surprised."

Was it a judicious ploy for Joe Biden's FBI to execute the unprecedented raid of President Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate?

  Yes; the Cheneys despise this former Republican president, and for good reason ... so they say.

  No; never has a former president been treated with this level of vindictive abuse by those temporarily in power.

  Who cares? It's Trump.

In light of continued developments, primarily since 2008, there exists in these United States a Legal System which operates on a proved Two Tiered approach to justice rendered, which primarily benefits Democratic Elites and Woke Ideological Virtue Signalers, representing their co-dependent wards, to the expressed exclusion of normal hardworking American citizens: What is your suggestion in remedying this widespread injustice and, if not corrected, its existential outcome for our Constitutional Republic?

  Complete overhaul of the Department of Justice and their enforcers - the FBI - to reflect a far more honest justice system to keep patriots remaining calm.

  Disband the FBI, and request that congress investigate all unethical and non patriotic practices to partially right the wrongs of a distrusted and politically weaponized "Department of Justice."

  Continue with the current system since the two tiered justice system has been so remarkably beneficial to Democratic Socialist political hegemony; chronic distrust in institutions notwithstanding.
