Will Barr Ever Pay for His Crimes?

Does anyone believe that Bill Barr was not complicit in the Hunter Biden laptop coverup? Let’s also not forget who appointed him to be the attorney general. But let’s not forget his role in Ruby Ridge. A $3.1 million settlement to Randy Weaver for the murder of his son and wife for the egregious acts of the government sanctioned by Bill Barr (the US Attorney General at the time under Bush).

Concerning the man who oversaw the Ruby Ridge operation, Mr. Larry Potts:

“He was deliberate and careful, and I developed a great deal of confidence in his judgment,” said William P. Barr, who was Attorney General in the Bush Administration. “One of his hallmarks is he was able to step back from an issue and view it not from a parochial aspect but from a much broader perspective. Traditionally the bureau has had a reputation of being very narrow. But he always offered a broader view. I can’t think of enough good things to say about him.”

…

Under the bureau’s lethal-force rules, agents may use their weapons only if they reasonably perceive an imminent danger of serious bodily harm. But the rules were rewritten during the Ruby Ridge siege to authorize the shooting of any men seen near Mr. Weaver’s cabin with weapons in their hands. One agent interviewed by the bureau after the standoff said the change had been interpreted to mean, “If you see ’em, shoot ’em.”

In the official record, Mr. Potts’s role in the easing of the rules is disputed and quite muddled. Mr. Freeh has said his review found that Mr. Potts had simply failed to read the change, which had been proposed by agents in the field. But the F.B.I. commander on the scene, Eugene F. Glenn, who is now special agent in charge of the bureau’s Salt Lake City office, has said that Mr. Freeh’s review was a cover-up intended to protect Mr. Potts and find lower-level scapegoats, and indeed there is evidence that Mr. Potts personally approved the change.

Other officials have said that Mr. Potts knew of the change from telephone conversations between himself and agents at the scene. And, in response to questioning by an F.B.I. agent who looked into the shootings not long after they occurred, Mr. Potts himself acknowledged that he had approved the change and said it had been consistent with broader bureau policy. (Actually, Mr. Freeh later found, it violated various provisions of the Constitution.)

I suppose Vicki Weaver’s baby was considered a weapon by the FBI assassin Lon Horiushi.

In case we forgot:

I wonder if they sleep well at night? Imagine if the people rise up and take back their freedom. Imagine if justice becomes the law of the land as intended by our founding fathers. Imagine justice being served to these traitors who overthrew the Republic.
