It’s Just Bulls***’: AG William Barr Warned Trump His Legal Team Was Lying To Him, Report Says
The daily Wire ^ | 1/18/2021 | Ryan Saavedra

Posted on 01/18/2021 5:52:59 AM PST by Sir_Humphrey

Attorney General William Barr reportedly warned President Donald Trump that his legal team was lying to him about the election being stolen and that some of their theories were “bulls***.”

Barr made the remarks during a December 1 meeting with the president and other top aides in the White House, according to left-leaning Axios, which has been highly critical of the administration. The meeting reportedly took place because Trump was angry that Barr gave an interview to the Associated Press that contradicted what Trump’s legal team had been claiming publicly.

In the AP interview, Barr said that federal investigators had been looking into allegations of voter fraud but noted that they had “not seen fraud on a scale that could have effected a different outcome in the election.”

That’s because the meaningful fraud was perpetrated long before the election by Marc Elias and pals, using lawfare to bypass state legislatures in changing election laws and eliminating security measures so that they could cultivate votes in areas where only Democrats would have the advantage.

Trump’s lawyers’ antics distracted from any messaging about that and instead turned everyone’s conversation to individual ballots. It was like worrying about patching potholes when the I-beams of the bridge are nearly rusted through, and the footings are crumbling.

“Trust Barr” said the Qballs.

And dozens here fell for it.

Sad.

Cultists are rarely swayed by reality.

His legal team said they had overwhelming evidence but none was ever presented to a judge.

That is because no judge ever allowed the evidence to be presented. It is a catch 22 situation.

I wasn’t really referring to Dominion. I was referring to the fact that 1) the DOJ/FBI didn’t —as far as we know look at Dominion
2) That the discrepancies/fraud outside of Dominion are overwhelming (100+ % of registered voters voting in WI counties, tens of thousands of proven dead voting just in Wayne Co. MI, massive “late” ballots in multiple PA counties over & above the # of registered voters
3) Outrageously criminal behavior in GA and NV.

Barrstool never looked at one of there, didn’t seize one voting machine, didn’t interview one key witness.

Fraud. Barrstool is himself a criminal.

Congratulations, you are one of the sheeple who “spent hours” on Google etc. looking for the evidence... and then you lapped up what they and the MSM served you on a platter. I am sorry for you.

Nope. I can’t remember the last time I watched an “MSM” source, let alone believed it. I went straight to the actual filings. Perhaps you should do the same.

But if I’m wrong, point out the case where the Trump campaign filed suit in a court that actually had jurisdiction over an election challenge where the court refused to hear the evidence.

Since you’re into source material I suggest you listen to the leaked phone call that clearly shows the GA GOP obstructing President Trump’s lawyers.

Laying the bipartisanly stolen election on Trump’s legal team is laughable on its face. The fix was in and picking nits changes nothing.

You mean the phone call between Raffensperger and Trump and his lawyers? I listened to it. It showed nothing of the sort.

I’m not “picking nits.” I’m saying claim that courts won’t allow Trump to present evidence of fraud is a lie. I cannot find even one case where a state court has dismissed an election contest filed by Trump or his elector candidates without hearing evidence. Every case I’ve found was either dismissed by Trump’s own lawyers, or dismissed after the court actually heard evidence.

If I’m wrong, it shouldn’t be hard to find an example. But, despite pointing this out several times on this forum, no one has come forward with one. Just vitriol and deflection, like your response.

You just expose your bias right there. You want to lay the election loss all on Trump so the GOPe can get back to swamp business as usual. Sorry, not going to happen.

The GOP will be held accountable for it’s role in the bipartisan coup and stolen election. Millions of Trump voters have no interest in supporting Republicans that support progressive Democrats and disenfranchise them. No amount of dissembling on their behalf will change that fact.

As usual, no facts, no answer to the basic question. Just an attempt to impugn my motives. This is just like talking to a liberal.

Trump and his lawyers claim they have evidence but courts won’t hear it. They are lying. If I’m wrong, just prove it. But you can’t, because I’m right.

Facts? Like pro Trump state legislators recently removed by the GOPe in GA and VA? Quoting Deep State Trey Gowdy’s jab at POTUS: “If you are innocent act like it.” Right now the GOP is acting very guilty.

We have 4+ years of facts regarding GOP collusion with progressive Democrats that only the willfully blind can’t see. The GOP has proven they prefer Democrats and their progressive agenda to MAGA, Trump and us. I wish it was different but it is what it is.

You’re just repeating lies that have been told to you. You are forgiven for spouting lies, but you should investigate just a little to find out that everything you just posted has been categorically proven beyond the shadow of a doubt to be 100% lies.

"Barr made this comment on Dec 1. By that time, the legal team should have been able to prove fraud. Despite my other disagreements in this case Barr was right on this score. Trump's legal team did not serve him well"

Scott Adams is kind of hinting people tell him stuff aka my guess is 3 letter agency types. He mentioned that it has been hinted to him the choosing of the people was a setup unto itself as they knew they'd go down the conspiratorial road and make us all look like wacko's and run out the clock.

Bannon's reaction the night of when Slow Joe took Scranton and then PA was this was brilliantly planned and executed, he knew we'd been had...

Their was a steal and Team Trump didn't have any Intel types gaming out what they'd do to steal it, the bigs and the smalls. Should have brought back Kelly Ann & Bannon IMHO. No protecting the flank legally which would have been hard to do.

Yah sure you betcha. Everything would have been fine if a case was filed on the second Tuesday of the night after a full moon when there was a meeting scheduled at the county clerks office as long as he/she was actually there... If the clerk was not present then the court hearing would have to be postponed until the fourth Wednesday after the election as long as it was not within 96 hours of a postal holiday, then there would be no jurisdiction and the case would have to be thrown out.

Nope. Just a court with jurisdiction would have been fine. Its usually right there in the state statute governing election contests. It’s not complicated, particularly if you have a lawyer who bothers to familiarize himself with the law.
