SUBVERSION: Bill Barr Told Trump Election Fraud Claims Were ‘Bulls**t,’ Protected BLM Rioters From Insurrection Act, And Blocked Snowden Pardon
National File ^ | JANUARY 18, 2021 | GABRIEL KEANE

Posted on 01/18/2021 11:27:22 AM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

A new report from left-wing outlet Axios details multiple instances of former Attorney General Bill Barr actively working to ensure that President Trump’s political agenda failed on multiple fronts, including suppression of violent left-wing riots and protecting election integrity. National File has previously reported on Barr’s questionable background and behavior during his tenure in the Trump administration. Though the Axios piece vigorously portrays Trump in a negative light while glorifying Barr, the anecdotes contained within are nonetheless damning for the former AG.

Following breaking news that Barr had denied election fraud, Trump reportedly summoned Barr to demand an explanation.

“The stuff that these people are filling your ear with just isn’t true,” Barr allegedly told the President. “It’s just bulls**t.” Pressed by Trump, Barr admitted that he had not even watched the Michigan Senate hearing on election fraud.

Barr’s slothful response to widespread reports of election report would later be noted in a scathing rebuke from the Trump legal team.

Earlier in the year, Barr reportedly undermined the President’s desire to use the military to quell mass looting and rioting by Black Lives Matter and Antifa militants that ravaged myriad American cities throughout the summer.

President Trump wanted to invoke the Insurrection Act and make a show of strength which would force the looters off American streets in August, but Barr pushed back against the idea with help from Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Mark Milley and Defense Secretary Mark Esper.

An exasperated Trump reportedly banged his hand on the Resolute Desk and stated, “No one gives me any f**king support!”

Shortly before Trump confirmed that Barr would be gone by Christmas, the AG preemptively moved to block the President from pardoning National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden.

If anyone would know bulls—t when he saw it, it would be
the man who saw it in the mirror every morning for decades.

The swamp is strong, and has many tentacles.

Barr played us for fools.

In at least one reported 2020 voting fraud incident, election officials hand-counted votes
then put the ballots through the machine and came up with MORE BIDEN VOTES than the hand-counts showed.

The flabbergasted officials redid the process——and again the machine came up with MORE votes for Biden

It’s in black and white-—— in their training manual:
<><> The Dominion tallying system is engineered with a WEIGHTED VOTE option.
<><> You enter a percentage that you want to apply to votes in a particular race;
<><> Dominion machines will increase the vote total by that percentage.
Is this used for anything else but to steal elections?

Dominion voting software can permit staff to manually adjust ballot returns during counting process
Process of “adjudication” allows for “resolution of voter intent.”

Voting software deployed by the election hardware company Dominion Voting Systems can allow election staffers to manually adjust tally amounts while reviewing scanned ballot images, a process that the company says allows for “resolution of voter intent” in cases where ballot marks are unclear.

Dominion has been at the center of tumultuous controversy since the election amid reports of glitchy and/or unreliable voting software and hardware. The company has a presence in a majority of U.S. states, including critical battleground states in which Democratic challenger Joe Biden has been declared the winner by major media outlets.

President Trump has suggested that malfeasance by Dominion is responsible for the narrow edge in posted vote totals that Biden holds in those states. Dominion, meanwhile, has unequivocally denied any wrongdoing or errors within its machines.

“No credible reports or evidence of any software issues exist,” the company has stated on its website. “Dominion equipment is used by county and state officials to tabulate ballots. Human errors related to reporting tabulated results have arisen in a few counties, including some using Dominion equipment, but appropriate procedural actions have been taken by the county to address these errors were made prior to the canvass process.”

The company also stated that “vote deletion/switching assertions” that have circulated since the election are “completely false.”

‘Anybody who has Dominion has this’

The company has claimed that “it is not possible for a bad actor to change election results without detection.” Dominion does, meanwhile, allow at least one avenue for manual adjustment of vote tallies as part of a process known as “adjudication.”

Santa Clara County, California, as part of its agreement with Dominion Voting Systems, stipulates that the company’s software must allow county staff “to adjust tally based on review of scanned ballot images.”

Evelyn Mendez, the public information officer for the Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters, said that “the wording [in the contract] is a little weird,” but that it refers to a provision meant to ensure that “adjudication” of uncertain votes can occur.

Adjudication, Mendez told Just the News, is used in circumstances such as when there’s a contest in which a single candidate must be chosen yet “someone votes for two.”

“It’s the process of looking at the ballot and determining, ‘Did the voter mean to do that’?” she said.

“If someone puts in a dot instead of a checkmark,” she added, “or if they didn’t bubble it the right way, our staff are looking at the ballot and confirming what’s correct.”

Mendez, who stressed that staffers are looking not at actual ballots but at scanned images of them, said that the process is performed by two individuals.

“Two people, one on the mouse and one on the clicker, are looking at the same screen, talking about the same ballot, determining the voter’s intent,” she said. “It’s a manual view of what voters meant to do. If staffers can’t figure out what to do, it goes to another level where further county officials can adjudicate it.”

Mendez confirmed that adjudication adjustments are done manually by staffers.

Sometimes, even a leftie site like Axios tells the facts.
This is believable in reference to Barr.
In reference to Milley and Esper blocking Trumps idea of direct intervention in the sumnmer riots.

Barr was AG when Lon Horiuchi shot a mother holding her child at Ruby Ridge and defended that killing.
I knew he was a Bush League Republican plant to do just what Sessions did, stymie the MAGA agenda.

“He needs to own his own bad judgement in so many ways......it started with Chris Christie. He was told that was his first big mistake.....”

Donald Trump did so many good things for America, but no one is perfect. Trump was horrible at picking staff. In business, you hire, you fire, no big deal. In government, it gets a lot more messy.

Trump’s bombast is the reason he could survive, and his undoing, all that the same time.

Just who is going to do the arresting?

ALL of our law enforcement agencies are on the other side against the citizens and the rule of law.

That is a direct consequence of BOTH parties swearing in the ineligible Kenyan from Indonesia in 2009.

Thanks. Good one.

I get this picture of Barr in my mind, if a young popular
person who wasn’t well qualified or driven, that got situated
for political gain, and helped screw us for decades.

Was it Ruby Ridge he was involved in covering up? Well yes...

Here’s a link you probably can’t use, but just reading the
short detail at the link I used to find it, confirms it.

https://www.nytimes.com/1995/05/28/us/man-in-the-background-at-the-fbi-now-draws-some-unwelcome-attention.html

Dirty, dirty, dirty...

Bush must have been laughing when Trump appointed him.

He was Attorney General under Bush.
