Former Attorney General Bill Barr accused former President Donald Trump Thursday of practicing “extortion” on the Republican Party by endorsing his own batch of candidates in “pursuit of a personal agenda” at a time when the GOP should be making huge electoral gains.
“This pursuit of a personal agenda and personal power is weakening the Republican Party at a time when it could have a historic victory and make historic progress in ‘making America great again,'” Barr said in an interview published on Bari Weiss’ “Common Sense” Substack.
“The tactic that Trump is using to exert this control over the Republican Party is extortion,” the former AG added. “What other great leader has done this? Telling the party, ‘If it’s not me, I’m going to ruin your election chances by telling my base to sit home. And I’ll sabotage whoever you nominate other than me.’ It shows what he’s all about. He’s all about himself.”

He has no sense of truth, justice, right or wrong; and he was AG? What a crock! No wonder we’re looking at chaos.
What a favorite he was to so many. Evoked cheers the same way Dick Cheney did once upon a time. Ex Attorney General Bagpipe Bill Barr is no different than Ex Attorney General Eric Holder or Ex Attorney General General Loretta Lynch.
The FBI is the same FBI we always never knew. My heart is heavy that we paid for all of it.
Go suck your bagpipes you treasonous sack of fecal matter.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
How people like this traitor can look themselves in the mirror everyday and not feel self-contempt is mystery to me.
Of course, that's not saying very much when you consider their peers were mutants and nitwits like Janet Reno, Eric Holder and Alberto Gonzalez.
Barr Blew it, no second chances.
They always accuse their enemy of what they are doing.
This is rich. LOL. F the GOPe.
Barrs a typical swamp creature...petty angry and jealous. Trump did in 4 years what these lifelong DC losers couldnt accomplish in decades...embarassing them with every win, showing the world that things can actually get done in Washington that dont result in national crisises.

An accurate statement well and truly said!
Yeah Barr, because what we were doing was really paying off. /s
What a dolt.
Has this guy never heard of the deep state?
No question about it, being a DC POS deep stater, Bill Barr is also a liar and a traitor, thus his obvious aiding in the communist takeover of the US!
IF Trump ever gets back into office he needs an ARMY of people who have NEVER set foot in DC to take over every department there!! ANYONE who have EVER been employed in DC HAS TO BE A NO GO!!
I hate to say it, but you’re right.
He also needs to quit listening to the other side when they
tell him who would make a good this or that appointment.
Sour grapes.
Why yes, yes he is... And isn't it marvelous?
“is weakening the Republican Party at a time when it could have a historic victory and make historic progress in ‘making America great again,”
Sorry CIA/FBI/Epstein fatass. I have no particular interest in the Republican party doing well if it is a return to the pre-Trump GOPe party.
Exactly!
FUBB!
Political capital is now extortion!
And this guy is supposed to be a lawyer 🤷♂️
Trump might as well just had Merrick Garland for his AG instead of this jackass Barr.
Maybe Barr should reflect more on how he allowed the murders in Ruby Ridge by the FBI
Last time I checked, Trump can pick anyone he wants.
Only someone who has no idea what he is doing or is on a political agenda would say anything else.
In Barr’s case, he has both issues.
