Wesley Snipes vs. IRS
The Wesley Snipes case highlights a unique legal strategy that confounded many other high profile tax attorneys...
From small-town East Ridge, Tennessee, to the elite environs of the Eastern Ivy league, Robert Barnes walks among the humble and the haughty. Traveling from the everyday to the esteemed, representing clients fighting for their civil rights and celebrities taking on the IRS, Barnes heeds the advice of his newspaper-throwing father, Walter, who was fond of reminding, "Never judge a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes".
Robert Barnes told Breitbart News on Monday that he and his legal team are suing Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Rep. Deb Haaland (D-NM), Reza Aslan, Matthew Dowd, Kathy Griffin, Maggie Haberman, Ana Navarro, and other news media figures for defamation on behalf of eight students from Covington, KY.
"They did nothing racist. They weren't taunting, harassing anyone," attorney Robert Barnes said on "The Story." "They had no idea that they would have this social media lynch mob led by people like Maggie Haberman, a lead political reporter for The New York Times, or Senator Elizabeth Warren [D-Mass.] ... both of whom refused to delete or correct or retract or issue any apology for their false statements about these kids."
Robert Barnes is a civil, criminal and constitutional lawyer who has represented high profile clients from Alex Jones to the Covington Kids. He joins Dave to discuss his legal approach to free speech, mob mentality, his Alex Jones case, and more.
In the thick of South by Southwest, Alex Jones is scheduled to be deposed for four hours next Thursday at a downtown law office by attorneys for a Sandy Hook parent suing him for intentional infliction of emotional distress for years of characterizing the 2012 Connecticut school shooting as a hoax.

Today, Barnes continues to take on the cause of underdogs, no matter how difficult the odds. Where other lawyers lose 90% of the time, Barnes win more often than not. Fighting for CITIZENS WHO HAVE LOST THEIR ACCESS TO FREE SPEECH AND BASIC CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS, BARNES TAKES ON BIG TECH AND MEDIA CENSORS, OVERREACHING GOVERNMENT AGENCIES AND AGENTS, unethical law firms, corrupt banks, and rogue government agents, Barnes continues the family tradition his great-grandfathers started centuries ago, fighting for the freedoms that founded America.
