MSNBC’s McQuade: Bill Barr Is Operating on a Pre-9/11 Thought Process About How Gov’t Work and It Renders His Opinion Obsolete

>> And because Barbara the ░░░░░░░░ now the counterintelligence investigation ░░░░░░░░ now is about potentially ░░░░░░░░ s ongoing influence over ░░░░░░░░ sitting president of the ░░░░░░░░ States just a clip ░░░░░░░░ this New York Times ░░░░░░░░ the criminal encounter intelligence ░░░░░░░░ were coupled together into ░░░░░░░░ investigation Former law enforcement ░░░░░░░░ said because if Mr ░░░░░░░░ had ousted the head ░░░░░░░░ the FBI to impede ░░░░░░░░ even end the Russia ░░░░░░░░ that was both a ░░░░░░░░ crime and a national ░░░░░░░░ concern That leads me ░░░░░░░░ ask and I will ░░░░░░░░ you that suggests to ░░░░░░░░ that if Mr Barr ░░░░░░░░ then to become attorney ░░░░░░░░ and he were to ░░░░░░░░ Robert Mueller at the ░░░░░░░░ of the White House ░░░░░░░░ t that put him ░░░░░░░░ jeopardy of being investigated ░░░░░░░░ potentially a counterintelligence or ░░░░░░░░ probe Well possibly but ░░░░░░░░ would all come down ░░░░░░░░ his intent What was ░░░░░░░░ purpose in doing if ░░░░░░░░ did it for a ░░░░░░░░ reason no But if ░░░░░░░░ too were doing it ░░░░░░░░ some corrupt purpose to ░░░░░░░░ a counterintelligence investigation then ░░░░░░░░ I think Elliott makes ░░░░░░░░ really good point in ░░░░░░░░ just because he had ░░░░░░░░ job 25 years ago ░░░░░░░░ t mean he s ░░░░░░░░ to do it today ░░░░░░░░ I would submit in ░░░░░░░░ ways it may make ░░░░░░░░ even less qualified because ░░░░░░░░ much has changed in ░░░░░░░░ 25 years I think ░░░░░░░░ story demonstrates the hazards ░░░░░░░░ offering an opinion when ░░░░░░░░ don t know all ░░░░░░░░ the facts What has ░░░░░░░░ since 9 11 is ░░░░░░░░ through the Patriot Act ░░░░░░░░ brought down the wall ░░░░░░░░ previously existed between criminal ░░░░░░░░ and counterintelligence and counterterrorism ░░░░░░░░ investigations It used to ░░░░░░░░ those two things were ░░░░░░░░ completely separate They are ░░░░░░░░ shared That information is ░░░░░░░░ because we want to ░░░░░░░░ sure that the FBI ░░░░░░░░ the ability to connect ░░░░░░░░ dots That s the ░░░░░░░░ that they use so ░░░░░░░░ And so William Barr ░░░░░░░░ operating on a pre ░░░░░░░░ 11 thought process about ░░░░░░░░ the government should work ░░░░░░░░ so I think it ░░░░░░░░ his opinion obsolete.
