‘It’s Not Gonna Be Because He Took The Documents’: Bill Barr Lays Out Left’s Last Hope To Indict Trump

Former Attorney General Bill Barr laid out on Fox News on Thursday how prosecutors may possibly indict former President Donald Trump.

Barr joined “The Story with Martha MacCallum,” when host Martha MacCallum asked him to weigh in on the potential impending indictment.

“When you look at this Trump situation with regard to the documents, which you have always said is the most likely area where you think that there is evidence for an indictment, what do you see happening right now, and it just really goes back to my other question, why is this process happening so quickly in the middle of a presidential election, and you know the Bidens seem to have four, five years for everybody to assess all this information?” MacCallum asked.

“This was a fairly simple case, the Mar-a-Lago case. This is a case that can be done relatively quickly,” Barr said. (RELATED: ‘We’ve Got To End This Two-Tiered System’: Pence Rips Biden’s DOJ For ‘Divisive’ Raid On Mar-a-Lago)

“Because?”

“That’s why I thought – because it is a very limited question. It relates to one collection of documents, and why they weren’t given to the government once they were subpoenaed. And it is a pretty simple case,” Barr responded.

“You believe that the charge will be obstruction based on what you have said before?” MacCallum pressed.

“If I had to bet, I think that there’s gonna be an indictment here on that basis, but it’s not gonna be because he took the documents or even had the documents for a while. I think it’s because they believe that he acted deceitfully once the government tried to get the documents back.”

The Department of Justice reportedly sent Trump’s legal team a letter indicating the former president is the target of a federal investigation regarding the possible mishandling of classified documents. A special counsel led by Jack Smith is investigating Trump for allegedly concealing classified documents and attempting to prevent federal authorities from taking them. The FBI raided Trump’s Mar-a-Lago in August in search of the documents.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
