MSNBC host Chuck Todd tried to excuse away Attorney General Bill Barr's intrusion into the judicial process of the criminal case of Roger Stone this week when he overruled the sentencing recommendations prosecutors gave the judge.


Todd, who has been criticized for many comments or poor interviews over the past several months, tried to dismiss Barr's past poor behavior.

" Bill Barr, until now, has actually tried to walk a line here and on this one he's not walking a line, he's diving right in," said Todd.

Barr is responsible for releasing a fake summary of Robert Mueller's full report, falsely saying that the president did nothing wrong. He has also helped block subpoenas and witnesses, he tried to prosecute former Secretary Hillary Clinton and now he's trying to investigate one of President Donald Trump's Democratic rivals, former Vice President Joe Biden.

It was something people watching rejected as walking a "fine line."
