Bill Maher Says William Barr Is “So Far Up Trump’s Ass” He Bumped Into Hannity

Last night on HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, the topic of Russia and Attorney General William Barr’s “summary” of the Mueller Report was the primary focus. During Maher’s opening monologue, the host went after Barr and President Donald Trump, labeling the current state of Washington’s political affairs as a “constitutional crisis.”

“We’re so f—-ed. I’m telling you, we’re so f—ed. Today, Venezuela put us on the travel advisory. If America were a summer blockbuster it would be Democracy: Endgame,” Maher deadpanned before criticizing Barr for alleged perjury at his recent hearing regarding his interpretation and handling of the Mueller Report.

“This week we found that Robert Mueller wrote more than one letter to the Attorney General — wink, wink– William Barr saying why did you mischaracterize what I wrote? And Barr responded, ‘Well, the report was my baby.’ My baby? I thought Republicans were against killing babies.”

“This Bill Barr is so far up Trump’s ass he bumped into Hannity,” Maher continued. “So Barr went before the Senate this week, on Wednesday, and the Democrats looked all so happy after they gave him a good grilling. But I think they missed the big picture. Trump is still President and the big gotcha was they got Barr to commit perjury, which is apparently some old-timey law about lying being wrong.”

“Nancy Pelosi said, ‘That’s a crime and..I’m going to report it to, oh, yeah’,” Maher noted, before pointing out that the problem is that the enforcer of the law is the one breaking it in this instance.

“The lamer the excuse the better…they said they couldn’t get the report over there because the printer jammed,” Maher said sarcastically. “Then they went to Kinko’s but a kid was doing fliers for his band. Then the Attorney General himself was subpoenaed by the House to appear yesterday. Blew that off. And Congress was like, ‘You know we both work for the same country, right?’ So legal experts are now saying this is a Constitutional crisis the likes of which we have not seen in three of four days. When did testifying before Congress become optional? It’s not freshman Psych. class.”

While the HBO host was sure to mock his flailing allies, Congress and the Democrats, he saved his best insults for Trump (as always).

“Democrats don’t seem to get it,” he insisted. “You know, ‘It’s in the rules,’ is not an argument that works on Donald Trump. You’re playing Monopoly with a hyena. When it bites you and shits on the board, saying ‘It’s not your turn’ really doesn’t work.”
