U.S. Attorney General William Barr passionately inveighed against the left-wing anti-Trump “resistance” movement that is “using every tool and maneuver to sabotage” the Trump administration while systematically “shredding” norms and undermining the rule of law, in a speech to lawyers at a Federalist Society convention in Washington.
The speech Nov. 15 came hours after a federal jury convicted political consultant Roger Stone, one of President Donald Trump’s informal campaign advisers, on all seven counts he had been charged with. Stone was found guilty of obstruction, witness tampering, and making false statements to Congress in connection with the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
