Summary

William Barr is no stranger to the Department of Justice having spent time at the DOJ during Reagan’s, H. W. Bush’s and Trump’s presidencies. He’s in fact one of only two people to hold the role of Attorney General twice. His record is characterized by tough on crime policy as well as a strict, constitutional interpretation of the law.  AG Barr’s new book, One Damn Thing After Another, chronicles the rollercoaster of events that took place while he was the Attorney General under President Trump and he joins me to discuss it all: the russia collusion fabrication, COVID, the BLM race riots, the 2020 election and more. Plus, we’ll get his thoughts on the unprecedented leak from the Supreme Court and the current DOJ’s January 6th investigations and arrests.    Become a Daily Wire member at dailywire.com/subscribe and get access to bonus questions with AG Barr!

That assessment was based largely on empty allegations planted by allies of the Hillary Clinton

campaign. Those allegations provided the basis for spying on members of Trump's campaign and

served as the predicate for a years-long investigation by Robert Mueller and America's

intelligence apparatus. This specious theory became known as Russiagate, and now Russiagate itself is under investigation
