Former Attorney General William Barr told the Jan. 6 committee that former President Donald Trump lost touch with reality following his 2020 election loss to Joe Biden and showed no interest in evidence that disproved his wild claims of voter fraud.
“Before the election it was sometimes possible to talk sense to the president,” Barr said. “But I felt that after the election he didn’t seem to be listening.”
“There was never an indication of interest in what the actual facts were.”
Barr concluded that Trump, who insisted without evidence that voter fraud had cost him victory in the election, had become “detached from reality.”
Barr, one of former Trump’s most powerful allies during his term of office, related his growing concern and frustration with Trump after the election. He testified about conversations he had with Trump from late November until he resigned in mid-December.
The claims made by Trump and his allies were “not meritorious,” Barr said of the conspiracy theories put forth following Trump’s election defeat.
Meadows and Kushner reassured Barr, that Trump would not keep making unsubstantiated claims for much longer.
“We're working on this,” Kushner said, according to Barr.
Barr then decided to speak out publicly and rebut Trump’s falsehoods. The allegations of votes being switched by Dominion voting machines or software were “idiotic,” Barr said.
“I thought, If he really believes this stuff, he’s become detached from reality,” Barr added.

Trump was too close to how "the sausage was being made"....he wasn't one of THEM, but (as President) he "may" have been able to get the information needed to expose THEM...therefore, HE had to go.
Period...end of story.
Now THEIR(deep state, media, big tech, others)job is to make sure Trump, and no one like him, ever gets near a position of power(or the sausage factory/recipe)again...making sure there is only ONE narrative fed to the masses, THEIRS.
It's up to we "the people"(not one man/women), those who actually care about the Republic, and the sacrifices made to build it...to deal with those who threaten it.
...and there is only 1 choice left
(forget about a political/legal solution, they are too corrupted)
Find these parasites...remove this cancer
...or the Republic dies.
Period...end of story.
"THEY" win.
Great in theory however Mitch “the turtle” McConnell held the reigns of who would get voted up or down. Need to get Mitch out of there and elect Patriots not RINOs.
Prove it Bill.
The “reality” is that our elections are more corrupt than the elections in many turd-world countries where, unlike the USA, voter ID is required to register to vote and to vote in elections:

Apparently the fat b*ng diver and lifetime gunsel never heard of the case brought by 18 or so State AGs setting forth sundry evidence of fraud and Constitutional violations in the selection of Electors in various States. The case was tossed by the Supremes on purported lack of standing!!!!!!!!!.
“Trump is the one who appointed him”
If Trump had wasted less time childishly tweeting about Harry and Megan and whose TV ratings were highest, and spent more time on grownup duties such as personnel decisions, he might have put together a cabinet of loyal effective MAGA supporters. Instead he hired a lot of people who he ended up calling “losers”
It’s time we look for a more competent nominee
Because China Mitch made it clear that anyone else would be DOA in the Senate.
“. Need to get Mitch out of there”
Tell that to Trump. He endorsed Mitch and most of Mitch’s Allie’s too.
It’s time to move on from Trump
“Because China Mitch made it clear that anyone else would be DOA in the Senate”
Trump rolled over for Mitch and Paul Ryan
Barr is talking about “DC reality”, and in that sense, he’s right. Trump is an outsider. He’s not a DC animal. There is no way for Trump to plug into the DC conversation space. That’s why they kicked him off Twitter.
I wish Dinesh would call for a public debate with Lumpy about 2000 Mules.
I’d pay to see that.
Barr is the one who is detached from reality. He doesn’t seem to remember that in June 2020 he made an excellent case AGAINST mail-in voting, saying that it was rife with fraud. He even said “you’re playing with fire” if mail-in voting is allowed. He became afraid of being impeached so he then just kept his mouth shut and joined in the effort to oust Trump.
Anyone who thinks that the 2020 election was “fair, free, and secure” is delusional at best.
Bill Barr is the Earl Warren of our time.
59 years after the fact, 87% of Americans 18 to 29 believe Kennedy was killed as a result of a conspiracy.
59 years from now, Barr will be seen as a back stabbing traitor to America and Donald Trump. How much was he bribed is the only question.
IMHO, Barr is just saying these crazy things to protect himself and family from the Deep State enforcers.
Barr, Cheney and kjnzinger are the most hated rinos around. They don’t even bother trying to appeal,to,the base anymore. The left have likely made them some kind of sweet deals- either that or they are so put,of touch with reality themselves that they project their ineptitude onto others, wchijc is why barr said Trump was “detached from reality”.
Anyone who pooh poohs massive voting and election fraud is detached from reality or benefits from it.
Bull- he was a deep state plant from day 1
Barr said the claims made in the film were “indefensible.”
Who you gonna believe, Bill? The NUMEROUS film clips, of ballot harvesting, or, your own LYING eyes?
Pretty bad when a former (or, sitting) US AG calls facts ‘indefensible’.
Yea, a miss by the founders was allowing the Senate to staff the executive branch. Trump’s admin was a whose who of Never Trumpers. They would just hold up any pro Trump agenda members hence all of the acting members near the end.
