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.”

WOW , you people been watching too much FOX news , anyone who thinks there was NO massive election fraud is delusional

It was up to Trump's legal team to prove this and they couldn't.

Yep, but if that is the case, then not only was Trump out of his depty in Washington, the Republican party is also not interested in serving the American people but playing in the cultural swamp of the establishment.

There is a huge cultural divide I don’t think even Trump could navigate through.

When the Hunter Biden story broke, it is estimated that 50 million votes were already cast. Had people known of this, it very well could have swung the election to Trump.


You are dreaming. Nothing was going to “swing the election” to Trump. The fix was in. The swamp wanted Trump gone and used the blue swing states to do it. This fits the long established pattern of the GOP colluding with progressive Democrats to defeat conservatives they do not like.

... there were so many votes that were submitted illegally, following processes that had not been devised or approved by the state legislatures, that eliminating those illegal votes alone would have changed the outcome.

I hear this argument but how do you determine who those “illegal” votes went to? You can’t just assume they went to Biden so you can’t say they changed the outcome.

I agree 100%. Point #2 should have been the focus and Trump should have been started over the summer.

I have major issues with the way this election was conducted but we were misled (i.e. lied to) when it came to the claims of the legal team that they had mountains of evidence and that the evidence would flow like 'water out of a fire hose" and that they would "release the kraken" and that would mike things crystal clear.

Yes. Sidney and Lin and Rudy were caught up in and promulgating a blizzard of lies. It’s a shame what know-nothing-ism combined with steroids and a fascination with military tech have done to the Republican party. Maybe the center can hold.

Barr’s message was clearly that he was going to block any attempt to investigate and prove election fraud. Barr is a major player in the steal.

Seriously.

The Republicans increased their numbers in the House of Representatives, Trump won a record number of counties in the whole country ( 83.3%). He won Ohio which has gone with the elected President every election for sixty years (in 1960 Nixon won Ohio but Kennedy was elected thanks to his Dad buying the votes of some key electors in Chicago and West Virginia). Trump won Florida which has gone with the president since 1992 when Ross Perot got in the race and drew votes off George Bush Senior.

In the 17 swing counties in the nine Presidential elections 148/153 times those seventeen counties have gone with the president. They have gone with both Democrat and Republican Presidents. In 2020 one out of the seventeen counties went for Biden . The only county that went for Biden was Kent County in Biden's home state of Delaware. Remembering that these are counties that can swing Republican or Democrat, the average Trump margin of victory in those counties in 2020 was 16%.

In Pennsylvania they had some state congressional hearings in which one electoral supervisor witness said they had received some Postal ballots before the official date for sending out the ballots, they received more on the day the ballots were sent out. No Lewis Carroll was not the author of this travesty.

In Wisconsin 170 thousand postal ballots were sent out to people who had "requested" ballots but who had made no such request.

Four of the swing states all stopped counting at 11 PM, sent Republican poll watchers home saying they were finished counting and then continued to count votes.

In Georgia, Democrat election officials say they were given ballots to count, supposedly from mail-in ballots with no folds in the ballots. They signed sworn affidavits under penalty of Perjury about what they had seen. Also a large number of ballots, of the no crease variety, all had perfectly filled in votes for Biden but no votes for anyone else on the other races on the ballot, with about 98% for Biden.

A number of Governors, Attorneys general and Secretary of Sates of the various states arbitrarily changed the election rules for their states contrary to their state laws. The United States constitution explicitly grants the State Legislatures, not the state administrations, jurisdiction over how when where etc., elections are to be held. Yet no felons have been indicted or prosecuted for breaking state laws.

The problem has been ongoing for some time. In 2017 there were 3,5 million more people on the electoral rolls than live adults in the United Sates. One of the benefits of being a Democrat in this country is that the franchise is not withdrawn at death. In cities like Philadelphia bribing election judges is pretty routine ( stuff-the-ballot-box-for-democratic-candidates )

Trump also won a record percentage, for a Republican, of Black and Hispanic votes. One last thing. The Washington Post reported that voter turnout was 66.2% ( Over a hundred year record incidentally). The number of registered voters was 213.8 million. So multiplying .662 by 213.8 million we get that 141.5 actually voted. Trump got 74 million votes, deduct that from 141.5, leaves 67.5 million votes. An additional 13 million votes appeared out of nowhere because, allegedly Biden got over 80 million votes.

All of the above doesn't even get to the issue of the voting machines, which are supposed to have a manual "review of ballot" rate of a tiny fraction of 1% churning out over 60% of the ballots for manual review. The manual review enables an election official to designate who the elector intended to vote for.

And yet all is above board and Biden was duly elected. (/s)

I totally agree with your post. The swamp wouldn’t allow Trump, or any outsider, to win the election for POTUS. There’s nothing he could have done or said to change that fact. He won in 2016 accidentally, and they’ll never let that happen again. I’m afraid he’s the last democratically elected president we’ll have for decades, or until America collapses and gets rebuilt.

There's two simple things you have to consider if you're sitting on the fence....1. A candidate should never lose votes as we clearly saw happen to our President. 2. Biden got more votes than Obama despite no turnout to his rallies and no viewership when being televised. Explain those two things and I'll start looking to debunk the rest of the evidence.

This is a fully bipartisan coup and stolen election.

.......

Bingo . DC is one big theater . Roles are assigned scripts of support / opposition detailed characters chosen to deliver the play

Think about any investigation that really held any Dem accountable

Minus , to me, about 50 out of the 500 the rest are there for the graft and could care less about the 300 million

Congress is the ultimate country club. One chosen and accepted individuals quickly throw principle out the window

“Nothing was going to “swing the election” to Trump. The fix was in.”

That was obvious when no RATs campaigned, and Joe cowered in his basement. They were CONFIDENT that he would “win”.

Does Joe know ...?
If you cheated to get it,
You didn’t win it.

LOL. There you go again. Ignoring my replies I see. Trump never had a functioning DOJ to combat voter fraud. They all hated him and wanted him gone. Go listen to the leaked call before you complain about Trump’s legal team. Go watch the Project Veritas video of the post office whistleblower being abused. The stonewalling from his own executive branch and party is plain as day. Don’t be a GOP dupe.

Funny (not): Most of those scenarios bore out, but failed to garner attention.

If one seriously considers the discussion dem leadership had while we were all distracted by Russiagate & impeachment, there is only one inescapable conclusion:

When it comes down to brass tacks, they decided ‘all or nothing’ to rid the WH of Trump and, in the end, there was NO WAY Congress would go along with supporting a Constitutional crisis by declaring the election a fraud. The dems banked on that and they were absolutely correct.

Democrats - your neighbors & coworkers - are domestic enemies supporting the usurpation of the US Constitution by supporting the cabal in DC, corrupting the democratic process, the takeover of education and leveraging their power via media, both social & mainstream.

It’s well past time to ‘not be nice’.
