Donald trump is a man consumed with grievance against people he believes have betrayed him, but few betrayals have enraged him more than what his attorney general did to him. To Trump, the unkindest cut of all was when William Barr stepped forward and declared that there had been no widespread fraud in the 2020 election, just as the president was trying to overturn Joe Biden’s victory by claiming that the election had been stolen.
Not interested in what Benedict Barrnold has to say. A deep state puppet and an overstuffed one at that.

Deep state puke. Barr talked a good game, but he was just another worthless bureaucrat tasked with protecting the deep state from Trump in the end.

Too busy blowing his pipe and prancing around in a kilt to be an effective Attorney General. Always kept his eyes on the Kalorama cocktail party circuit prize.

Well as barr said many times (if he in fact did say it) the whole article is horse manure. barr believes he is pure...there was wide spread fraud. This was feckless rinos protecting their turf at the expense of the Constitution of the United States of America. And there is no forgiveness for this behavior by any republican...none.

BARF ALERT indeed. Just the fact that Bagpipes Bill sat down with the far leftist, America-hating Atlantic - - in the person of mouth-foaming communist Karl - - is enough to make anyone retch.
We love President Trump - - but throughout his administration - - he continued to appoint traitors like Bagpipes who stabbed him in the back. Just imagine what life would be like today - - if President Trump had appointed fierce loyalists to the DOJ and FBI. What an inexplicable wasted opportunity!

The real problem with Barr, were his constant assurances that justice would be done- it was merely delayed - and, once the clock had run out, he openly betrayed his benefactor.
He is a traitor in every sense of the word. I wonder what his thirty pieces of silver, entailed?

Gaslight anyone? They continue to think that if they say the same lie enough times we will believe it.
By the way, where would DJT have found "fierce loyalists" in the slimeball crowd of office seekers? There are no fierce loyalists in that group. They would ALL sell their mother to cannibals to continue in power.

“To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have effected a different outcome in the election,” Barr stated.
This is going to go down as one of the most foolish idiotic statements in history. Congratulation William.

Barr is a good example of the kind of jello-principled squishy RINOs and long-term bureaucrats that inhabit the swamp. The very reason they continue to survive there is that they have learned the dark art of going along to get along. They have zero courage and never dare to speak up or act on principle against the swamp culture and its perpetually leftward drift. When an outsider like Trump comes along, they masterfully pretend to be following the new directives while stealthily fighting and undoing them under cover.
And Barr was among the best at doing the stealth undoing.

I had my doubts about him with his ties to the Bushies from the very beginning.
There was quite a bit of evidence that there were irregularities, but he never looked. It goes to show that these alphabet agencies have been weaponized against the American people.
The AG is supposed to be circumspect to follow THE RULE OF LAW and not be politicized.
Under Nobama, the DOJ was used to send people in to stir up trouble in Ferguson, and when all the witness testimony was taken, it was that the glass was not half full or half empty, it was that certain persons "saw things" which showed they were not describing what the glass looked like at all--
In TRUTH there was NO 'hands up don't shoot' but the media created it and confused people into believing it was what actually happened.
Same here that "there was nothing to see here"... What about the HUNDREDS of people who saw something that was amiss but were COMPLETELY IGNORED????

Interesting to see reporters often refer to 2000 election fraud claims as baseless or false. Have these reporters done their own investigations? How deep was Barr's investigation? As far as I know the only real investigations are just going on now. When it comes to any statements from the government or the left media I would not take any as true, or with a heavy grain of salt. Remember, Schiff always said he had absolute proof of Trump's conspiring with the Russians. I guess he won't share it with us to this day. The left media always make statements like they are the truth, when it is only a poor opinion.

President Trump ''believes'' he was betrayed by some people?
After commenting on the beautiful sunrise in Florida, I suppose the media would say that President Trump ''believes'' there was a sunrise in Florida!

It's really surprising to see someone that is supposedly all about law and order professing an opinion before actual evidence is examined. He is acting like a defense lawyer that doesn't want to hear his client's story because he doesn't want to be tainted by what actually happened.

#9, Trump's biggest mistake was getting rid of Steve Bannon. He was a brilliant strategist and completely loyal to America and this President's mission to MAGA. He would have seen these people for who they were and advised accordingly.

Article written by Jonathan D. Karl, chief Washington correspondent for ABC News.
Comment: An unimpeachable source. No one would ever think he might be biased against Trump.
On December 1, 2020 Barr said, “TO DATE, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have effected a different outcome in the election.”
Comment: They didn't see it because they were not seriously looking for it. And it's December 1, no thorough "full audit" investigation could be anywhere near complete. As of today, June 27, we've not seen the results of a single full audit. Vote fraud experts say that total audits are required to truly discover the extent of voter fraud.
"In fact, the week after the election, he [Barr] gave prosecutors the green light to investigate “substantial allegations” of vote irregularities that “could potentially impact the outcome” of the election. The move overturned long-standing policy that the Justice Department does not investigate voter fraud UNTIL AFTER THE ELECTION IS CERTIFIED. The theory behind the policy is that the department’s responsibility is to prosecute crimes, NOT TO GET INVOLVED IN ELECTION DISPUTES. Barr’s reversal of the policy was interpreted by some as a sign that he might use the department to help Trump overturn the election.
Comment: How about trying to prevent on-going crime? "Oh, No! Can't do that! We might be accused of playing politics." Imagine the following: Police see bank robbers are a bank to rob it. The police just allow them to rob the bank and thereafter arrest them. This long-standing policy is a Godsend to vote fraudsters!
"But Barr told me HE HAD ALREADY CONCLUDED IT WAS HIGHLY UNLIKELY that evidence existed that would tip the scales in the election. HE HAD EXPECTED Trump to lose and therefore was not surprised by the outcome."
Comment: Pure speculation by Barr at that point in time. Speculation biased against Trump. Also the fed's policy clearly is that voter fraud is nothing to be concerned about unless that fraud would tip the scales in the election.
Barr said, “If there was evidence of fraud, I had no motive to suppress it. But MY SUSPICION all the way along was that there was nothing there. It was all bullshit.”
Comment: Additional Barr speculation.
"The Department of Justice ended up conducting no formal investigations of voter fraud," [and the paragraph continued with irrelevant BS about Michigan.]
Comment: The above may be the most important takeaway.
"As proof of fraud, Trump’s allies had pointed to videos showing boxes filled with ballots arriving at the TCF Center, in Detroit, to be counted after the 8 p.m. deadline for votes to be cast. But Barr quickly found that THERE WAS A LOGICAL EXPLANATION. It had to do with how the 662 precincts in Wayne County, home to Detroit, tabulate their votes. “In every other county, they count the ballots at the precinct, but in Wayne County, they bring them into one central counting place. So the boxes are COMING IN ALL NIGHT. The fact that boxes are coming in—well, that’s what they do.”
Comment: Sneaking through the back of the garage in a truck after midnight. The truck was large enough to contain many thousands of ballots. Also, no Republican in sight, and none allowed. ". . . -- we'll that's what they do" Ya! Right! What they do is stuff ballots.
"Furthermore, Trump performed better against Biden in Detroit than he had against Hillary Clinton in 2016. Biden received 1,000 fewer votes in Detroit than Clinton had, and Trump received 5,000 more votes than he had four years earlier. Trump didn’t lose Michigan because of “illegal” ballots cast in Detroit. He lost Michigan because Biden beat him badly in the suburbs."
Comment: Specious argument. This assumes little or no voter fraud in Detroit AND in the suburbs. Absent potential voter fraud in Detroit (and in the suburbs) Trump may have have had - who knows how many - additional votes?
"Barr also looked into allegations that voting machines across the country were rigged to switch Trump votes to Biden votes. He RECEIVED TWO BRIEFINGS (!!!!) from cyber-security experts at the [Deep State] Department of Homeland Security and the [Deep State] FBI. “WE REALIZED FROM T0HE BEGINNING it was just bullshit,” Barr told me, noting that even if the machines somehow changed the count, IT WOULD SHOW UP WHEN THEY WERE COUNTED BY HAND. “It’s a counting machine, and THEY SAVE EVERYTHING THAT WAS COUNTED. So you just reconcile the two. There had been no discrepancy reported anywhere, and I’m STILL NOT AWARE of any discrepancy.”
Comment: Two briefings from the Deep State! We'll then . . . that's ironclad proof! Was everything saved? Have they been counted by hand? If they were saved and were audited, I missed that news.
"No self-respecting lawyer is going anywhere near it. It’s just a joke. That’s why you are where you are.”
Comment: I believe Sydney Powell and Rudy Giuliani are honorable, self-respecting lawyers. Hopefully their pending defamation court cases will disclose the truth - including why on live TV, (more than once) tens of thousands of Trump votes instantly switched to Biden. And each time the exact number of Trump vote were identical to the votes gained by Biden.
Month by month my suspicions that Barr, like FBI Director Wray, is a member of the Deep State.
The clincher for me was when the government (all too quickly) announced that Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide in a high-security prison - security cameras not working and guards not noticing - Barr summarily agreed. In effect he acted like: "Well, OK then. It's settled. Epstein committed suicide."

FTA: “In every other county, they count the ballots at the precinct, but in Wayne County, they bring them into one central counting place."
A real journalist might have explained WHY the most populous county in Michigan has such a cumbersome system in place, whereby ballots must be transported and "delivered" to a central location all night long.
A real journalist might have explained how the chain of custody is preserved so that numbers of votes cast and numbers counted match.
A real journalist would have reminded readers that Democrats taped paper barriers to windows where Wayne County ballot counting was being observed. Until insiders stopped it. One "report" claimed this was done because some folks doing the counting felt "intimidated" by observers.

Another bullsh** piece of propaganda. Exactly what did Barr do during his tenure, and, exactly what has Durham, his lackey done after years of investigations. What. I'll tell ya, NOTHING, NADDA, ZIPPO. Nothing on Russian collusion, which was a total hoax. What about democrats lying to the FISA courts. NOTHING, NADDA, ZIPPO. After 5 years of lying, and fraudulent investigations and presenting false evidence to congress and the courts, NOT ONE DEMOCRAT WAS HELD RESPONSIBLE. And we now have to here this swamp creature tell his side. There is no side. Got it...

“To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have effected a different outcome in the election.” - Bill Barr (1 Dec 20)
Before jumping on Barr, let's review the efforts of SIX REPUBLICAN state legislatures to investigate claims of fraud in their respective states: NOTHING. These bodies are responsible for conducting the election and certifying its results and the state's electors. Not one of them did anything significant. And these were REPUBLICANS. Lots of noise about Democrats and Commies, but very little said to question the motives or involvement of state level REPUBLICANS in all this.
Presuming fraud that would overturn the Presidential outcome, this was clearly an anti-Trump UNIPARTY production. It's time to accept the "truth" if one believes there was massive fraud. The GOPe is NOT the great friend and protector of the conservative grassroots.

Barr's moral crime wasn't proclaiming that there was no cheating. It was refusing to even look. We could see crimes being broadcast on the TV (republican observers being barred from the counting rooms, cardboard being put on the windows, etc.), and he wouldn't even look.

"Candy" Barr was an expert at mollifying the base while doing absolutely nothing to pursue justice.
He owes someone an apology for claiming that spying on the POTUS is a "very big deal," and that mail in ballots were "playing with fire."
He only had to look in the largest counties of the six swing states, not the whole country, to find the cheating.
Turns out that was his grift. Keep expanding the search radius so that nothing can ever be pinpointed. He certainly found the cafeteria!

Why would anyone with a shred of decency in them listen or even care what this RINO swamp creature has to say?
Some of us warned about he was he was nominated. This was most likely another Jared Kushner recommendation.
