William Barr says Trump booted him for calling ‘bulls–t’ on voter fraud

Former Attorney General ​William Barr said President Donald Trump became furious when he called claims of widespread voter fraud during the 2020 presidential election “bulls–t” — an accusation that Trump responded to by calling Barr a “coward.”

“I told him that all this stuff was bull​s–t ​… about election fraud. And, you know, it was wrong to be shoveling it out the way his team was,” Barr, who is promoting a new tell-all book, ​told ​NBC News’ Lester Holt ​in an excerpt of an interview that will air Sunday night. ​

At one point in the heated encounter, Barr said, he offered to quit, and Trump slammed his hand on his desk and said, “Accepted. Accepted.”

Barr said the encounter happened on Dec. 1, 2020, when Trump summoned him to the White House. Earlier that day, Barr had told the Associated Press that “to date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have effected a different

His biggest accomplishment was appointing Mr Dunham to double secret special prosecutor ... it appears to finish running out the clock.

An AG worth his salt would not consider himself at the behest of anyone, or anything, except the law.

Yep. And they attempted to do the same thing in 2016 with Hillary which is why she also didn’t campaign. Remember the “where’s Hillary” memes that would pop up now and then when she would completely fall off the radar for a week?

The givernment will never let us see it ... and they don’t give a damn that we want to see it and that we don’t trust them.

"I wish Trump would start thinking 2024 and bury his stolen election."

**************************************************

They'll just steal that one as well if they get off scot free on 2020.

Unless 2020 is resolved there is no reason to move forward or participate in the corrupt 3rd world banana republic broken political process ever again.

Good! I don’t want an Attorney General who won’t examine the evidence.

Shouldn’t have hired the Fathead in the first place

Yes! And DJT had damn well better tighten up his hiring practices in 2025. He should require that all new hires sign a non-disclosure agreement!

Earlier that day, Barr had told the Associated Press that “to date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have effected a different outcome in the election.”

Barr said he told Trump that the Department of Justice had looked into the fraud claims and found no evidence to support the theories that the 45th president and others on his legal team were pressing.

How exactly did they "look into" the fraud claims? What specific claims is he referring to? Did they produce a formal report? If they did why don't we get to see it? Or did a career DOJ employee call Barr up and say "We looked into it and there's nothing there Bill!". And we know the DOJ is loaded with super honest apolitical people.

Does he actually expect intelligent people to accept that they disproved the fraud without seeing exactly what they looked at?

Much of the fraud claim rests on statistical anomalies like what Dr. Shiva has pointed out in AZ. Did they look into the statistical anomalies? The statistical anomalies do not state any specific theory as to how they occurred. But they are evidence that has to be addressed.

There was eyewitness evidence and signed affidavits about various things. Did they read all the affidavits and find something wrong with them? I don't think so.

He's either in on it or he's a fool.

Did this crooked bastard read the 158 page report from Wisconsin? He should have been locked in chains not simply booted.

What a tool.

Trump’s biggest mistakes were bad personnel choices.

It was like Knives Out.

Mr. Barr, please cite for us the comprehensive investigation you at the corrupt DOJ/FBI or any government agency did for you to come to this conclusion. In the absence of a investigation you cannot say with certainty that it was a clean election.

And he should have told McConnell to F off, fire his wife and publicly denounce him in KY.

The GOPe held Congress for 2 years and did nothing.
