William Barr can dissemble, shuffle, shuck, and jive all he wants. I am not a young player, and I still have a very good memory; I not only remember election night 2020 perfectly, I remember the months leading up to the election, with Trump rallies - sometimes three or more per day - attended by tens of thousands, while Biden couldn't get three men, a boy, and a dog to listen to him without hanging a pork chop around the boy's neck for the dog. I have reviewed the videos and cell phone tracks of people who made repeated trips after midnight to ballot dropboxes. I have reviewed the video of suspended vote counting - never EVER done before - with subsequent ushering-out of observers, followed by suitcases of ballots appearing from under covered tables - the coverings themselves even illegal. I have reviewed cases where courts flatly refused to hear evidence - not evidence, proof - of fraud, lest it then be immortalized in the public record. I watched testimony of experts who were able to scan ballots to determine if they had been folded - necessary for them to be mailed instead of just photocopied - who were dismissed and their offers refused. I watched a live demonstration of a white-hat hacker's invasion of a Dominion voting machine from the next room. I reviewed traffic logs that showed Dominion machines' over multiple jurisdictions synchronizing to reveal exactly the same percentages for Trump on every one and synchronized percentages on each for Biden. I was born at night, but not LAST night. I know what happened as well as I know I'll take my next breath, and so do millions - no, tens of millions - of others.
Bill Barr is a lifelong product of the Unelected Deep State, is more than anything committed to preservation of the Permanent Deep State and defending it against damage from those "temporary" politicians who change every four years. He is bright - very bright, and he managed to hold the line for a while. But a great number of people are awake now - not woke, awake - and it may be possible, just may, to restore this great Nation to honesty and integrity. This Republic needs a giant enema, and while Barr may not be the first evacuated, if there is a God in heaven, I believe that his time will come.
Having read his book and listened to all of this interview, I'm not inclined to accept your opinion of Barr. He says he had the justice department investigate the claims of fraud but found them to be dead ends, unsubstantiated, finding no irregularities that would have come close to changing the outcome of the election. I doubt your review of the "evidence" went any deeper than his, or that you had the privileged access to the evidence needed to determine its veracity beyond a reasonable doubt. So I have a hard time understanding what real motive Barr might have had for undermining claims of fraud given his qualified support of Trump and his policies, your characterization of the man notwithstanding. It doesn't add up. On the other hand, I can easily believe that this was Trump's election to lose and he did just that. I voted for him because Mike Pence was on the ticket, the only sane and sensible candidate I saw in the debates, and because I could see that what was coming with Biden as President would be much worse (though I only saw the half of it at the time).
I could refute that line by line, but today's article by Conrad Black sums it up very well:
"It seems clear that in the 2020 presidential election, where Trump could have prevailed in the Electoral College if 50,000 votes had flipped in Pennsylvania and any two of Arizona, Georgia, and Wisconsin, that millions of ballots potentially passed through hands that could not be identified. All of this occurred in swing states where rules were changed ostensibly to facilitate voting during the pandemic. But in the case of a number of states, contrary to the Constitution, these changes were determined not by the state legislatures but by executive branches or state judiciaries. In every one of the 19 lawsuits launched to attack these questionable changes to voting and vote counting rules, the judiciary, including in the case of the Texas attorney general’s action against the swing states and supported by 18 other state attorneys general, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear any of these cases on their merits; they were disallowed for technical reasons, some of those quite spurious."
William Barr, like many others born, bred, and raised in the DC Swamp, is absolutely dedicated to preservation of the Deep State - which, as I have said, he views as sacrosanct - "career officials," as opposed to those "temporary" elected ones. That someone steeped in decades of loyalty to those institutions would put his finger on the scale in favor of preserving them "adds up" quite well, thankyouverymuch.
Well said, Jim. As George Carlin said "It's a big club.... and you ain't in it." Indeed, they are about preserving the establishment and the D.C. corrupt business model. Trump was disrupting trillions of that Swamp - your tax dollars back into your pockets - and had to go.
You dont find irregularities if you dont look for them. He didnt audit a thing. Just a 'gentlemans' wink among fellow government employees who profit from not rocking a boat.
There were 10s of thousands of signed affadavits from poll workers no legal entity even entertained. Easier that way. For Barr.
Your characterization of Barr doesn't make sense to me given what I've read and observed. There were plenty of irregularities due to changes in the voting rules during the Covid crisis. Barr acknowledged as much and that they did provide opportunities for fraud. Democrats have seen those opportunities to be in their favor and so oppose reasonable measures being taken since by some states to help ensure the integrity of the process. When Barr's staff did look into the irregularities they didn't amount to fraud on a scale that would have made a difference in the outcome. As for the "10s of thousands of affidavits", where are they? How do we know they're legit? We've been told many things like this and have been told things about what we're seeing in obscure online video and commentary indicating voter fraud as if there could be no larger context that would cast doubt on what we're being told. Forgive me for being skeptical. I'm not new to the games played on the internet either. It's made me all too familiar with the way many people are led to believe what they want to believe no matter what their political persuasion.
Fair comment. This is just me personally... Donald Trump was up by 800,000 votes at 9:30 pm in PA. And then they stopped counting in the six swing states where they have never done that before. Watch '2000 Mules' which highlights how republicans have used the same tactics. Common sense. Bill Barr, probably rightly, had no interest in walking into a shitstorm where every force in America was waiting to attack him. I was afraid to go into battle on behalf of this nation and into I went. You gotta do what is right. Please consider this:
No, you find them if they are there. And of course, with more than a hundred million votes, you WILL find them. That's not the question. The question is, "Were there enough irregularities to change the outcome?"
LOL. I always say I want to be king, not president, not prime minister. King, so if I say it, it happens. But only 24 hours. Any longer and I might start liking it.
But after 24 hours, I'll give you back a nation that nobody under a hundred years old will remember. And a nationwide rope shortage to go with it.
Agree with the Trump energy and momentum, and the shenanigans on election night. It's like certain states saw 2016 happening again and had to shut down and regroup. Very suspicious.
I don't think You could conceive of even one bad quality of Trump that makes him unfit for office, right? And there's more than one. I think some 80 or 90K of them, meaning the votes against.
Ooops. I always make a lotta mistakes. Because, as I've stated before numerous times, I NEVER look at what I type. I never claimed to be a writer, and I don't write the way they do.
IOW, yeah, I meant M. You got the point, didn't You. I rest my case. ;-)
I don't mean to pick on you, but in my court you just forfeited.
I have a friend who says that: "It's just me being me." My response? "That's no excuse. If you can't do better, then be somebody else."
Typos happen; everybody knows that; everybody has trouble with commas. But writers write. If you are going to write, then write. Don't excuse your dirty pants at dinner by saying, "I've been working on the car all day." Change your pants. Proof your copy. Check to see if you are using acronyms (my pet peeve) whose meaning is known only to a few - or one.
Sorry pal. I've seen that kind-a advice. I wrote on Medium.com and read more advice than I care to think about.
All I gotta say is I'm not gonna do it Your way. I have NEVER have written that way in spite of all the advice and am not about to start now. I don't claim to BE a writer. If that offends Your sensibilities, then I advise You to skip over my comments.
In the meantime, I'll write by instincts and not put a whole lotta thought into what I write at all. Sorry. But that's the only way I know.
C'mon man. I guy that couldn't even get 50% of the vote doesn't know what actually works. Or he would-a adjusted, the way Barr recommended. He couldn't. He lost because-a that.
And he was the opposite of being for ALL Americans, right?
Don't waste your time with jt. He's trolling any inkling of a positive comment about Trump and saying everyone has TDS or DTS. I think he might be an actual paid troll, but not sure. He writes oddly (because-a) and just seems off. I would ignore his comments entirely.
jt - sorry but your only argument seems to be that any commenter positive of Trump is suffering from DTS. That's not a logical argument. It's not even an argument at all. It feels like just another form of name-calling.
Yeah, I've said some people here are Deranged Trump Supporters. My bad.
But You're wrong about one thing. I don't stop there like some people do with their ad hominems. I give the reason why Trump has the character of slime mold. And the reason why I don't agree with what people have said.
Logical reasons, that most people don't wanna deal with. They just wanna repeat the talking points that I've seen here in these comments time after time.
People who do more than write talking points, I don't call DTS. Like You. Sorry we can't always agree, but there it is.

Is this the same Conrad Black who was convicted of mail fraud and obstruction of justice in 2007 and spent time in jail? Sorry.
No, he's the same one who is the "big guy" in his son's sale of his country to the Chi-coms. Don't mention it.

Thank God some more common sense today!!!
Sorry, but Your one-a the DTSs I've mentioned before.
Trump knows all. Trump *is* all. Nothing else matters.
Agree with the Trump energy and momentum, and the shenanigans on election night. It's like certain states saw 2016 happening again and had to shut down and regroup. Very suspicious.
DTS. Deranged Trump Supporter.
I don't think You could conceive of even one bad quality of Trump that makes him unfit for office, right? And there's more than one. I think some 80 or 90K of them, meaning the votes against.
"I think some 80 or 90K of them, meaning the votes against."
I hate to keep wasting space on this Substack asking for clarification, but could you explain what that means?
You do know that K means thousands, right? Did you mean millions?
Ooops. I always make a lotta mistakes. Because, as I've stated before numerous times, I NEVER look at what I type. I never claimed to be a writer, and I don't write the way they do.

lol Jim - agree about the TLA's
(three letter acronyms)
mea culpa. Takes too long to type everything out, and not much missed if reader doesn't know all-a 'em, right?

jt - unfiltered? Like Trump?
Sorry - couldn't resist :)
Yeah, You got me. :-))
But, no. You don't *lose* Your logic by relying on instincts. You're just not *hobbled* by it, is all.
That might sound funny to some. But there are limits to how far pure rationality can take You, in my experience.
What? Can you say that in English?
No sir, Trump knows he doesn't know all, he knows what actually works and doesn't for ALL Americans not just the ruling class.
C'mon man. I guy that couldn't even get 50% of the vote doesn't know what actually works. Or he would-a adjusted, the way Barr recommended. He couldn't. He lost because-a that.
And he was the opposite of being for ALL Americans, right?
Man, no offense, but you have to switch to decaf - and at least look at your posts before you hit "send."
Don't waste your time with jt. He's trolling any inkling of a positive comment about Trump and saying everyone has TDS or DTS. I think he might be an actual paid troll, but not sure. He writes oddly (because-a) and just seems off. I would ignore his comments entirely.
Funny, that's what I just suggested to him in my comment before this one.
I'd advise same for You. But I'll also note You call me a troll because You have no logical arguments against what I "say," right?
jt - sorry but your only argument seems to be that any commenter positive of Trump is suffering from DTS. That's not a logical argument. It's not even an argument at all. It feels like just another form of name-calling.
Pretty much just calling people names all day long. Notice how many comments they respond to. It's suspect.
Or are You calling me a troll too? Sorry, I can't agree with that.
Jt - no I only call Troll once. It’s my personal policy 😌
Yeah, I've said some people here are Deranged Trump Supporters. My bad.
But You're wrong about one thing. I don't stop there like some people do with their ad hominems. I give the reason why Trump has the character of slime mold. And the reason why I don't agree with what people have said.

Why's that?
