Barr: Trump became 'detached from reality' after 2020 election loss
aol ^ | June 13, 2022 | JON WARD

Posted on 06/14/2022 6:46:21 AM PDT by MarvinStinson

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.

Neither Cheney nor Kitzinger made much prevention of being conservatives, and they were always anti-Trump. Men like Bill Barr, Jeff Sessions, Mike Pence are more reprehensible, because their public speeches sounded like they were channeling William Buckley and Barry Goldwater and they were vocal Trump supporters. Yet when it counted, they either stood down or actively betrayed their President.

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.

Reality: The election was very likely stolen.

Reality: A majority of Americans believe that Biden likely cheated to get elected.

Reality: The DC Swamp and their proxies in the various states have zero interest in investigating electoral fraud from November 2020.

And Trump is the one "detached from reality"? OK...

Re: Barr said that he still has not seen any evidence of a stolen election

Barr hasn't seen any evidence of a stolen because he didn't WANT to see it!!!

The only thing that is "indefensible" is the stupid and stubborn CHOICE to remain in denial on the part of establishment creatures like Barr whose unjust hatred of Trump "indefensibly" outweighs what little scruples they might still have.

“The claims made by Trump and his allies were “not meritorious,” Barr said of the conspiracy theories put forth following Trump’s election defeat.”

So Barr dismissed the claims without bothering to investigate, is what I’m hearing.

He refused to investigate the evidence just like he didn’t want to look at the laptop because he was afraid it could interfere with the election. He refused to do anything that could stop or interfere with the steal. How could he look at the video of them pulling cases of ballots from under tables in the middle of the night with nobody around and running them. Some stack run through multiple times and say that’s not illegal. Or the box stuffing during the election. A good DOJ could have had this election over turned quickly. But would have also gotten this laptop investigated..

“No reasonable person can dispute that it wasn’t clear.”

Meh, there were as many superficial “red flags” in that election as any election in China, Venezuela, or Iran.

That’s not to say we had proof right away, but anyone could honestly say it was statistically impossible for the election to have been legitimate.

[[Barr hasn’t seen any evidence of a stolen because he didn’t WANT to see it!!!]]

Exactly. The evidence is addi g up, and he refuses to beleive any of it.

If barr were an honorable and upright person of integrity, he would take the video seriously, and be demanding that it be looked into and Investigated, tiven the very serious nature of the issue, ie “possible” stolen elections (we know they are stolen, but we need to expose it irrefutably so that people like bar can no longer live in their denial state).

But barr isn’t an honest and upright man of integrity- that much is clear now. sadly Trump was duped by a dishonest man.

China Mitch made it clear that anyone else would be DOA in the Senate...

And Trump bowed, without a fight. Even gave ole blowpipes a great sendoff, saying quote "he did an outstanding job!" That's Trump's exclamation point in the actual quote, not mine.

Turns out, Trump was the one who saw reality when Barr couldn’t see anything
but the inside of his rectum.

“but anyone could honestly say it was statistically impossible”

Most of the sayers weren’t and aren’t honest sayers.

I honestly think things are turning our way and we’ll be pleased on November 9.

There is plenty of evidence that the election was stolen, Bill Barr just doesn’t want to see it, now or then.

It was his job to make sure no one looked into it.

#5

The Big Steal was BIPARTISAN.

The Democrats could not have pulled it off without Assistant Democrats.

Completely agree with your two posts.

Barr is a compromised figure who should be in prison.
The person who has the pictures of Barr, with a man’s dick in his mouth, will release them, soon I hope.
Barr is one reason there is no justice in the USA.
