    Former Attorney General Bill Barr was asked Thursday to weigh in on the question of whether the investigations into his one-time boss, former President Donald Trump, constituted election interference.

    "Now, you can argue about whether he should have been charged and so forth," said Barr, "but the idea that this is interfering with the election is simply wrong."

    Barr, who has traded barbs with Trump on several occasions, but has defended him against the charges he faces in two of the four criminal cases against him, made the remarks during a Fox News interview with John Roberts when asked about "the legal trials and tribulations" of his former boss.

    "I wanted to ask you about the legal trials and tribulations of your former boss now that Judge Tanya Chutkan has set March 4, the day before Super Tuesday, as the day for the president's trial on the election to begin here in Washington, D.C.," Roberts said. "I guess a lot of the momentum in the primary season will have already been established. But Super Tuesday is very important. And Trump supporters say this is all political. This is meant to disrupt the primary."

    Roberts then played a clip from Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie about whether the investigations constitute election interference.

    "What interferes with the primary process is Donald Trump's conduct, and his insistence on continuing to run for President of the United States, despite the fact that he's been indicted in four different jurisdictions, and is out on bail in four different jurisdictions in this country, whether you believe the charges are just or not, they are here," Christie, a vocal critic of Trump, said in the clip.

    Barr responded by saying he thinks "the governor is right."

    "The basic principle in the criminal justice system is if a prominent person commits a crime, and is seeking office, that doesn't give him immunity," said Barr. "If there's enough time to have it resolved before the election, it should be resolved. The idea that 'oh, okay, well, I'm sorry, we'll let you run in the election and then after we'll address it,' that's not a principle of the criminal [justice system].

    Calling the idea of blanket immunity for candidates "silly," Barr added, "Now, you can argue about whether he should have been charged and so forth, but the idea that this is interfering with the election is simply wrong."

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.

Understanding that this fragile Republic of the self-governed is in a precarious space in our nation's vast history: What is your honor bound patriotic duty in helping to sustain the continuance of these United States of America?

  I will depend on my Democratic Socialist politicians to continue to march hard toward the Left to provide Diversity, Equity and Inclusion for all who think and do as they are told.

  I will defend the Constitution of the United States of America, and support all elected leaders who pledge to protect and insure the continued sovereignty of this Representative Republic.

  I am very concerned about maintaining my current life style without working. I was told that as long as I vote Democrat, I had nothing to worry about ... but now I worry.

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.
