Former US Attorney General Bill Barr said he would “bet” on president Donald Trump being indicted in Jack Smith’s classified documents case.
Special Counsel Jack Smith has been investigating Trump after storing presidential records at his Mar-a-Lago home and whether he tried to obstruct the investigation.
CBS News reported that the decision on whether Trump will be indicted on federal charges was imminent, as Bill Barr echoed.
RINO Barr asked Trump’s lawyers to meet with Justice Department officials on Monday.
The former Trump official then took a shot at Trump, saying the meeting would be held to complain about the special counsel’s work.
CBS asked Barr whether the meeting was an indication that the indictment was near.
“If I had to bet, I would bet that it’s [an indictment] near,” Bill Barr said.
Barr then defended Jack Smith, saying the special counsel’s probe into classified documents was not a witch hunt.
“This is not a case of the Department of Justice conducting a witch hunt,” Barr said on CBS Mornings.
“In fact, they approached this very delicately and with deference to the president, and this would have gotten nowhere had the president just returned the documents, but he jerked them around for a year and a half, and the question is did he deceive them?”
Watch
On Monday, President Trump suggested federal charges after his lawyers met with DOJ officials.
“HOW CAN DOJ POSSIBLY CHARGE ME, WHO DID NOTHING WRONG, WHEN NO OTHER PRESIDENT WERE CHARGED, WHEN JOE BIDEN WON’T BE CHARGED FOR ANYTHING, INCLUDING THE FACT THAT HE HAS 1,850 BOXES, MUCH OF IT CLASSIFIED, AND SOME DATING BACK TO HIS SENATE DAY WHEN EVEN DEMOCRAT SENATORS ARE SHOCKED,” Trump said in a Truth Social post Monday morning.
“ALSO, PRESIDENT CLINTON HAD DOCUMENTS AND WON IN COURT. CROOKED HILLARY DELETED 33,000 EMAILS, MANY CLASSIFIED, AND WASN’T EVEN CLOSE TO BEING CHARGED! ONLY TRUMP – THE GREATEST WITCH HUNT OF ALL TIME!” Trump added.

Then you become a Hunted person for execution I’d bet. Bill Barr for Hanging
Conservatives got no cojones. They’ll sacrifice Trump.
Barr knows nothing This is another witch hunt against Trump to
try and keep him from running for President because libs know
he will win. What about all the classified documents Biden took
as VP which was illegal? What about Clinton who was not
President and took thousands of documents and emails?
It is only a Republican who gets treated like this.
Trump traitor? More and more Trump followers are assuming cult characteristics.
