You didn’t answer my question. That’s okay, you don’t really need to.
Barr has revealed himself for what he is. He is there to protect the established order, which Trump was not part of, an that is what is telling.
Mattis, well, he was a real disappointment of the highest order to me. I have talked to a few USMC vets who take extreme umbrage at Mattis, and I trust their judgement.
You dismiss these guys based on the crap you get from QAnon style comments and Trumps ranting.
Did you read Barr’s book? He warned Trump to get good lawyers and be prepared to challenge results. Trump did not quite comprehend there were 50 different races and there is virtually no precedent for Federal challenges. He told Trump he was focusing his efforts on the wrong places.
Trump ignored him. He stuck with Rudy and Lindell as his advisors. He thought he could “personality” through the process.
Then when Barr told him there was little the DOJ could legally do (because they did not have standing) Trump flipped out. Barr quit. And by the time Barr got back to his office to clean out his desk, Trump was begging him to come back.
Trump lost it. And he blamed everyone else. His lack of understanding about the entire electoral process and his inability to understand how The process goes in the House and Senate worked made him turn on Pence.
But, since Trump yells and screams about “Fake” this and that, and disloyal backstabbers—those who are convinced everyone but the QAnon decoder ring crowd is against them in some grand conspiracy. In the end, Trump had alienated EVERYONE who might have had an inkling of helping.
To sit back and read the comments from the FR Trumpists is eye opening. They display the same mental mindset—if you challenge The Donald, you are a disloyal backstabbing communist.
It’s such a cultist mindset now, it borders on creepy.
It’s no wonder I see many of the same names supporting Russia and their invasion of their neighbor.
But, the immediate responses are: you are a Biden lover; You are a Cheney lover; Who else is there?
It’s all crazy talk.
