Former Attorney General William Barr Blames Trump for January 6, Calls for Different 2024 Nominee
Breitbart ^ | 27 Feb 2022 | PAUL BOIS

Posted on 02/28/2022 6:52:54 AM PST by conservative98

Former Attorney General William Barr writes in his new book that former President Donald Trump is to blame for the January 6 Capitol Hill riot as he calls for a new 2024 nominee.

“The election was not ‘stolen,’” he asserts in the book, titled One Damn Thing After Another. “Trump lost it.”

Barr also profiles a meeting he had in the Oval Office after he declared publicly that widespread evidence of voter fraud in the 2020 election did not exist.

“’This is killing me—killing me. This is pulling the rug right out from under me,’” Barr claims Trump shouted at him.

Mr. Trump then launched into a list of other grievances he had with his attorney general: that the federal prosecutor Mr. Barr ordered to review the origins of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Russia probe that preceded the Mueller report hadn’t released his findings before the 2020 election, and that Mr. Barr declined to prosecute former FBI Director James Comey after a department watchdog rebuked him for sharing memos that contained sensitive information about his interactions with Mr. Trump, a complaint brought up repeatedly by the president.

Barr claims he offered his resignation at that moment, which the president accepted. “Leave and don’t go back to your office. You are done right now. Go home!” Barr asserts Trump told him.

Barr eventually resigned from his position weeks later.

Regarding January 6, the former attorney general said that Trump lost himself after the election and pushed the voter fraud to such an intense degree that it led to the riot on Capitol Hill.

“The absurd lengths to which he took his ‘stolen election’ claim led to the rioting on Capitol Hill,” he writes.

Let’s hope that Trump 2.0 is way better at choosing folks to work for him.

They won't get confirmed by a GOP Senate unless they are on the "approved" list.

“With dirty mitch blocking recess appointments, and thereby forcing trump to pick people that mitch likes, what do you expect?”

I’m not sure ya really wanna argue that McConnell controls Trump as an excuse. And I don’t know how you’d argue that Mitch made Trump choose the likes of Christie, Jared and a host of others as the people he thought best to advise him.

That’s not even touching on Fauci, whom Trump still can’t , when asked, come up with a reason to fire (then or now).

While everyone would like to be absolved of all the bad choices they make, it’s not the best trait for a leader to not accept responsibility for bad choices.

Notice the timing when they piece of s**t chooses to come out and say this, a time when it becomes blindingly obvious that they Russian invasion would have never have happened under Trump. What a disgusting swamp creature. ANYthing that points to Trump being a great President and without fail these SCUMBAGS crawl out from under their rocks to disparage him because NOTHING is more important than the swamp, right?

Dear President Trump:

When you win in ‘24, may I assist you in choosing your next AG? FBI director?

Thanks in advance.

Sincerely

Barr may have been worse than Sessions.

True enough - of the two, Levin is the worst at this. For all his sturm und drang, he’s just as managed as any other media type.

I recall the weeks before Turtle’s last reelection - Levin screaming about how bad he was and how he had to be held to account. Three days before the election, and it ‘looked’ like Mitch would lose, Levin began screeching that he had to be elected so as to not ‘lose the Senate’. Mitch wins, and immediately flops to the left, sneering at the cameras the whole time.

People think they can have change without discomfort - that is a lie.

Blow it out your arse Bob!!

Barr would laugh at that comment. He's laughing all the way to the bank.

He knows there's absolutely nothing people on a discussion forum can do to stop his comments about President Trump.

Barr is a CIA stooge. He’s a “Catholic”, like his buddy Joe Biden is a “Catholic”. Which is to say, a Pagan.
...................................................
These Catholic politicians and high-level bureaucrats, with few exceptions, are the proteges of some of the greatest Masters of Deceit in human history, one of whom is even now soiling the Chair of Peter!

***He’s more scared of us than you know. After all, we brought down Dan raTHer. We started the Sore Loserman meme. It’s right here where such things as calling him BarBarBarBarBarrBarrannn will catch on and just overwhelm him and he knows it.

Perhaps. I really don’t think he cares. But I could very well be wrong.

He’s a FORMER Attorney General. The FUTURE Attorney General is gonna be Jay Sekulow.

And Jay Sekulow is signed up at DISQUS, even logging onto my President Trump Channel a few times. So BarrBarrann does care what we think.

He did nothing as AG. Stupid choice.

He could have used federal law to go after BLM and Antifa; Actual terrorist groups.

You are wrong!

The fact that Barr is making these comments shows he's somewhat concerned and on the offensive.

If Barr DIDN'T care he would say nothing and totally ignore the situation.

Most in the "deep state", and in Wash D.C., know that if Trump is elected AGAIN this time around he'll be much more RUTHLESS in dealing with them. There will be HELL to pay!

I hope President Trump if he is the nominee is elected President. I’ve seen nothing to date to indicate that he will be “much more ruthless”.
