In an unusual public appearance, Barr stood in a park across from the White House on Monday as police prepared to rush a group of peaceful protesters and push them back.
The move followed a decision earlier in the day to extend the protective perimeter around the White House -- a decision one senior Justice Department official said Barr was heavily involved in making in order to avoid the mayhem of previous nights in the nation’s capital.

Barr's been here before. He has to be the most dangerous man in power today.

4. "...the most dangerous man in power today."

100% Agree.

I used to think it was Moscow Mitch who deserved that title, but now I think it's Barr.

7. The insurrection act followed by the posse comitatus act can only be used if a gov asks for help

[Budi]

8. This is what I was sure of until news showed this (screenshot)

This is the Insurrection Act of 1807.
Did Posse Comitatus then, change the original 1807 wording?
Is this what the MSNBC pic fails to point out?

9. Bill Barr scares me

[Budi]

10. He is too familiar with the powers he holds. He's using it against the US

Complete abduction of AG position.
He thinks he's the dictator now.

11. But this was only allowed becsuse Governor Pete Wilson requested it

Right ?
