Bill Barr can talk a good game, like calling out the left’s sabotage of the Trump presidency. But when is he finally going to do something about it? To this point, all Barr has been are empty words. Much like Lindsey Graham, Barr has talked a good game, but done absolutely nothing. This whole IG report thing was supposed to come out in May. It’s almost Thanksgiving and still nothing. The John Durham criminal investigation has been going on for months now, and yet nothing has come of that either. I’m tired of empty words and waiting. I want to see ACTION!

Attorney General Bill Barr accused congressional Democrats Friday of “using every tool” to “sabotage” the Trump administration by setting a “dangerous” precedent in implying that the government is illegitimate.
During a speech at the Federalist Society’s dinner in Washington, Barr took aim at the “resistance,” accusing liberal lawmakers of attacking the very foundations of the Constitution.
“I deeply admire the American presidency as a political and constitutional institution,” he began. “Unfortunately over the past several decades, we have seen a steady encroachment on executive authority by the other branches of the government.”
Barr said the “avalanche of subpoenas” and constant attempt to derail appointments by the Trump administration have only served to “incapacitate” the executive branch.
“Immediately after President Trump won the election, opponents inaugurated what they called the ‘resistance’ and they rallied around an explicit strategy of using every tool and maneuver to sabotage the functioning of the executive branch and his administration.”
“The cost of this constant harassment is real,” he continued.
Barr likened the language used by Trump’s opponents to that of groups who attempt to overthrow militant rule of seized governments.
