Bill Barr has said that Donald Trump's allegations of election fraud and his claims that the Presidency was 'stolen' from him 'precipitated' the DC riots, in his first TV interview since resigning as Attorney General.

Barr was asked about Trump and his campaign's claims about the legitimacy of the election, and appeared to take a swipe at his former boss.

ITV News Global Security Editor Rohit Kachroo asked Barr: 'Perhaps the debate about the integrity of the election was the final straw?'

Bill Barr has said that Donald Trump’s allegations of election fraud and his claims that the Presidency was ‘stolen’ from him ‘precipitated’ the DC riots, in his first TV interview since resigning as Attorney General.


What precipitated it was the refusal to transparently verify the election, after Democrats had systematically removed security and had then blocked observation of counting.

Saying someone has no standing to sue does not mean the voting was done right. Neither does refusing to allow even basic discovery where there are concerns.

Where’s those big mouths ‘’bert’’ and ‘’mooova’’ who gave me nothing but grief about this fat slob? Boy, those two thought Barr was The Second Coming.

Barr has been a deep-state “fixer” at least since Ruby Ridge, when he whitewashed the FBI’s “shoot to kill anybody” orders, and exonerated everybody in that decision chain from FBI HQ to the FBI sniper Lon Horiuchi.

Put in place by the Turtle.

For all of us who thought Bill Barr was the absolute bomb when he was appointed, boy were we snookered! Yes, I was snookered!

Thank you for your refreshing honesty. Few people have the capacity to admit they were wrong, and for America to grow strong again a lot of people will have to do what you did.

There is a lesson to be learned from Barr. Members of the Deep State are masters at deception. Some apparently very conservative people are actually Deep State. Sidney Powell is a pretty sharp woman but she was fooled by Emmet Sullivan. He book has nothing but praise for him. She later learned what he was.

I have heard that the GOP has developed a ‘short term memory loss’ pill.

Come 2022 all of the 75 million who voted for Trump will have no memory of the Steal.

It seems to me he is throwing this up as a distraction from his own failures to hold deep state actors accountable for their attempts to bring Trump down. Had us all fooled -at least folks like Hannity. Just wait, they said. It’s coming. Yes and the check is in the mail!

Bush League Republicans have to protect the Big Steal, same as they had to Protect the Kenyanesian Usurpation, because they were complicit in BOTH.

Are they stupid enough to think the Marxist social justice warriors they created won’t be coming to Georgetown?

Bill Barr? The guy who basically ensured that it’s okay for intelligence agencies to spy on our candidates and conspire to bring them down? That guy?

Yeah, I’m gonna listen to him...

Trump lost the election by 43,000 total votes spread across three states - GA, AZ, WI - that he was expected to win.

But, somehow, Barr knows there was absolutely no fraud?

Conservatives need to keep pounding these numbers until average voters understand just how close this election is!

The radio and tv talking heads have got the memo.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Same as the memo to jump on the “birther” bandwagon and ridicule anyone who knows what natural born citizen means.
