Former Attorney General Bill Barr accused former President Donald Trump Thursday of practicing “extortion” on the Republican Party by endorsing his own batch of candidates in “pursuit of a personal agenda” at a time when the GOP should be making huge electoral gains.
“This pursuit of a personal agenda and personal power is weakening the Republican Party at a time when it could have a historic victory and make historic progress in ‘making America great again,'” Barr said in an interview published on Bari Weiss’ “Common Sense” Substack.
“The tactic that Trump is using to exert this control over the Republican Party is extortion,” the former AG added. “What other great leader has done this? Telling the party, ‘If it’s not me, I’m going to ruin your election chances by telling my base to sit home. And I’ll sabotage whoever you nominate other than me.’ It shows what he’s all about. He’s all about himself.”

He was supposed to be marginalized, ostracized, and exiled.
The shoe is now on the other foot. For years we conservatives were told to support the Republican nominees no matter what. But now these oligarchs are forced to make the choice: vote for the Republican or the Democrat. And they don't like having to make that choice (because previously, the choice was the same).
And I don't recall Barr and his ilk getting at all upset when McConnell would say vote for such and such or no NRSC money. But that wasn't extortion, oh no. That was just politics, the way of the world. Funny that.
BARR was asleep at the wheel, the DOJ failed the American people. His comments are worthless. Ask a lady bartender in NYC..they probably would know more.
Go suck your bagpipes you treasonous sack of fecal matter.
L
Redacted affidavit coming. Barr probably the mole
Hey Barr, STFU you useless Lard Ass.
Lock him up!
yes... winning candidates other then who they want, is extortion
His ENTIRE CAREER is suspect if he thinks being a sore loser constitutes having committed a crime against them by the winner.
Also if he thinks ‘2000 mules’ does not show any evidence.
If Trump is uosetting Barr, he’s certainly doing something right. They are slowly losing their control of the agenda.
Bar can go pour himself a nice big cup of STFU.
Barr was one of many swamp snakes planted into the Admin to be sabateurs.
For a lawyer, Barr is really stupid.
The definition of extortion is “the practice of obtaining something, especially money, through force or threats.”
President Trump isn’t threatening anyone or anything except the RINO by beating them at the ballot box- fair and square.
Well heck.
Extortion is a crime. Just impeach him again ... already!!
That’s not extortion, Barr.
That you don’t seem to understand that simple definition of a crime would explain your complete malfeasance while in office.
Useless quisling turd - who prosecuted ZERO coup plotters.
Trashbag is mad because the houses of Bush and Cheney got smashed.
Like many in Trumps administration the people he trusted “like Barr” were busy backstabbing him!!!
Barr, Pence, Mulvaney, Bolton, Wray, Milley, Fauci etc etc.
Are you really attempting to dismantle the deep state when you surround yourself with deep staters?
It’s maddening to see them attack Trump over nothing.. while the corruption is rampant in the blue party and elsewhere...while they are committing crimes that can’t be written in social networking..
How dare those uppity voters stand with Trump?
The jigs up, Barr. You’re deepstate.
How dare Donald Trump not go along with all the people who hate him.
