Jan. 6 rioters prosecuted ‘far too broadly’: Bill Barr.

Former Attorney General Bill Barr said Saturday that the Department of Justice has cast its net “far too broadly” when it comes to prosecuting those who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Barr made the comment on Fox News’s Cavuto Live after three more arrests were made in connection with the deadly riot on its three-year anniversary, bringing the count to 1,265, according to the DOJ.

“Like everything else the Left does, they did, I think, go too far,” Barr said.

 

DOJ plans to indict ‘thousands more’ for January 6th.
