Former Attorney General Bill Barr, once one of President Trump's most loyal allies, is speaking out against his former boss in light of Wednesday's storming of the U.S. Capitol, saying in a statement that his conduct "was a betrayal of his office and supporters."

“Orchestrating a mob to pressure Congress is inexcusable. The President’s conduct yesterday was a betrayal of his office and supporters," he said in a statement to the Associated Press, which was obtained by ABC News.

1. CYA Bullshit...

[olegramps]

33. He is one of the most vocal and powerful voices for the establishment of a imperial presidency.

This has been the goal of the group of Republican lawyers who are committed to the its establishment. His membership in the Federalist Society in which it is a primary requirement was the primary reason that he was chosen to be Attorney General. The bastard is now running for cover. I despise the bastard just as I despise today's Republicans who I consider to be traitors.

40. Exhibit "A" as to why an imperial presidency could destroy America

Donald J. Trump.

Barr, you stupid turdstool. You latched on to the poster boy for why your twisted little "interpretation" of our Constitution is fundamentally flawed.

Game, set, match.

And wait until Biden's DOJ gets finished with you, you cowardly nincompoop.

2. Fuck him

He helped get him to this point. Just because he bailed now doesn’t undo the past

[maxsolomon]

30. He's gone. And it's not a coincidence.

Durham is acting Atty Gen.

[Arkansas Granny]

6. Well, la-di-fuckin-da. I just love these comments from the very people who have been enabling

Trump for the last 4 years. Are we supposed to believe that they are sincere? More like a CYA move, if you ask my opinion.

[mr_lebowski]

7. When you, as POTUS, have managed to run afoul of a GOP-POTUS-phile like Barr ...

You have clearly screwed the pooch in fantastical fashion.

That being said ... too little too late, asshole.

You shepherded this freaking clown-show for far too long to escape culpability.

[llashram]

8. Barr, STFU!!!!

go away like I wish your potus and his grifter family would do today, to the deepest hole in hell... goddamn traitor

[DUgosh]

9. Donnie came through for his supporters

He did not betray or disappoint - they eat up sedition with a spoon - then hide behind made up fantasy “antifa”

[durablend]

13. "Just remember--I wasn't a part of it!!!!!"

[Duppers]

He's CYA'ing it.

Another rat leaving the sinking ship.

[ResistantAmerican17]

14. Shiiiiiiiiit Billy. This is your baby as much as it is trump's. Nazis flourished while you railed

Against BLM and sent the troops in to crush peaceful protests. Methinks thou shalt fuck thyself, sideways, with a leaf blower.

[sarge43]

19. Weed whip. He might enjoy a leaf blower. n/t

[ResistantAmerican17]

24. Ouch..... I stand corrected.

[gibraltar72]

15. Listen to him he knows a thing or two about betraying your oath and office.

[GoldenMezzoDiva]

16. 'Bout time, Chubby...

ya got somethin' right.

[sarge43]

17. STFU, Barr. Too little and way too late

You share a fair share of the responsibility. Where were you when that shit bag called in the military to shut down a peaceful protest? You only bailed when he turned on you. F'ing hypocrite.

[denbot]

18. Fuck him. He protected Shitler from an investigation into Russia's election attack.

Fuck him!

[Rebl2]

20. Too little to late

Barr. Maybe if you had stayed you could have stopped this from happening, but I know you don’t really care about our country. You are useless.

[yardwork]

21. TOO LATE. /nt

[amb123]

22. TOO FUCKING LATE TRAITOR!!!!!!!!!!

[LiberalLovinLug]

23. FUCK OFF YOU FASCIST PIECE OF SHIT!

[Javaman]

25. hey, disbarr, what about that Mueller report, remember that? go fuck off you lying piece of shit. nt

[Oscarthegreat]

26. Screw Barr

Bill Barr was one of Trump's chief enablers. He resigned only to save himself from criminal prosecution, so his credibility and sincerity are less than zero.

[FakeNoose]

27. I'm guessing Billy Barr quit because he KNEW what Chump was planning

Makes sense doesn't it? This coup attempt didn't get thrown together overnight. There were a lot of people involved including Erik Prince's trained undercover ops. The Proud Boys had to be brought in from whatever caves they live in. It took at least of couple weeks to plan this, and Billy Barr must have heard about the plan in its early stages. He saw what a shit show it was going to be, and he said "Count me out."

[maxsolomon]

31. THIS.

maybe not as conspiratorial as this, but DC authorities definitely left the Capitol Police hanging.

the lack of preparation was negligent by design.

[world wide wally]

28. WTF did you expect, fucking enabler?

[American Welshman]

29. Shove it, Billy

You belong in the same cell as Trump, Trump Jr, Giuliani, Cruz and Hawley.

[Gary 50]

32. Billy Barr throwing diaper don under the bus?

Hey, you've got to admit, few have more experience at "betrayal of their office" than this shmuck.

[NCjack]

34. Wanted: a special prosecutor for William Barr.

He escalated Trump to a point that he could no longer continue. Now, he wants us to note that Trump is too extreme.

[matt819]

37. So many special prosecutors needed

Barr.

trump.

Giuliani and the "lawyers."

trump's spawn.

DC and Capitol Police "response."

[Akoto]

35. You know you're crazy when you've surpassed Barr's crazy tolerance level. n/t

[matt819]

36. You traitorous weasle

What did you know and when did you know it.

[Mickju]

39. Fuck him.

[FailureToCommunicate]

41. So a violent attempt to overthrow the US government is a 'bridge too far' for you Barr?

Good to know.

Now, about all the traitorous things YOU'VE countenanced recently...
