William P. Barr: Anti-Trump but not anti-Trump’s policies

The May 8 Wall Street Journal editorial, "Bill Barr's Warning on Trump: . -- gave an incomplete summary of the former attorney general's appearance before the City Club of Cleveland, May 5 that amounted a distortion of his otherwise devout MAGA views. The editorial did not even mention that Barr's appearance at the City Club was occasioned by his recent-published book, "One Damn Thing After Another: Memoirs of An Attorney General," (Barr was attorney general for President George H.W. Bush, and later for President Trump.)

For forty minutes, he chatted with City Club CEO Dan Moulthrop, and then for twenty minutes brushed aside an attempt at a barbed question and agreed with friendly questioners. The last question came from media celebrity Geraldo Rivera.

The proof of the Journal's failure to summarize, accurately, Barr's City Club comments is oblivious by watching the video of Barr's appearance and then reading the Wall Street Journal's editorial. Barr's Cleveland interview came the day after Harvard Emeritus Prof. Ruth Wisse's May 4 Wall Street Journal op-ed on the former president, which ended with this recommendation: "Sober Americans will...defend the Trump record without supporting his candidacy, and deny him re-election while defeating those who did not allow him to govern."

Speaking in Cleveland, Barr effectively endorsed that view -- which, however, likely gladdens the heart of those who tried their darnedest to make it impossible for Trump to govern. And yet his presidency brought low employment, a thriving economy, positive accomplishments in the Middle East and vis-a-vis NATO, and, most significantly, despite the obstacles created to impede relations with Russia, Putin did not attack Ukraine on Trump's watch.

Shame on The Wall Street Journal for not listing the positive accomplishments of the Trump administration.

I wish Dinesh did not have to do the job the government legal system should be doing.

I am glad he is.

2000 mules is awesome. Any one who has not seen it is doing themselves (and the country) a great disservice.

As an added bonus it is very interesting to watch.

I wish Dinesh did not have to do the job the government legal system should be doing.

It is a ridiculous shame- the only consolation is that due to the Meteoric popularity of his Bold Stories, he's making some coin.

If you haven't read the 2,000 Mules book it's worth buying to support Dinesh but his publisher really screwed him. Dinesh was set to name the liberal charities and mules but there was a full recall to remove any mention of the perps. It came out months later with all the Fraud Proof removed.

The good news is that the election experts behind True the Vote who provided the Fraud data are currently working with the Republican AG of Arizona Mark Brnovich to turn over the specific identifies of the mules in Arizona.

It's going a bit slower than expected because Engelbrecht and Phillips of True the Vote have dedicated themselves to the Freedom Hospital for victims in Ukraine. They have raised half of the 25 million they need. A donation to that project might be advisable as well.

Wow....

Attorney General Bill Barr’s father, Donald Barr, was a WW2 OSS spook ( pre-CIA) who went into academia, worked as headmaster of elite NYC prep school that hired 21-yr old Jeffery Epstein as a math teacher, despite him having no degree.

Ironically Donald Barr wrote fantasy literature about pedophilia and rape.
From wiki. Cant make this stuff up

( Donald Barr)…was headmaster of the Dalton School from 1964 to 1974.[9] During his time as Dalton’s headmaster, Barr is alleged to have had a role in hiring future financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein as a math teacher despite the fact that Epstein (who graduated from high school at the age of 16 and secured a full scholarship to Cooper Union) had failed to complete his degree and was only 21 years old at the time.[10][11]

In 1973, Barr published Space Relations, a science fiction novel about a planet ruled by oligarchs who engage in child sex slavery. It has been noted that the plot of the novel anticipates the crimes of Epstein and his alleged accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell.[12]
