Former Attorney General Bill Barr said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that he was willing to testify against former President Donald Trump at his January 6 trial.
Anchor Major Garrett asked, “Were you interviewed by the special counsel?”
Barr said, “I’m not going to go into that.”
Would you appear as a witness if called?”
Barr said, “Of course.”
Garrett said, “One of those associated with Trump’s defense team has said, if you were called as a witness, they would cross-examine you and pierce all of that by asking you questions that you couldn’t, to their mind, credibly answer about how thorough that investigation was that led you to tell the president what you told him. How thorough was that investigation?”

This is a more serious reply:
Opinion polls indicate the Republican nomination is Trump’s to lose, and that he has an edge in the general election against Biden.
Part of these results is, I think, the good sense of the American people. They suspect Trump was cheated if not in ballot harvesting, then in the lying and collusion of the FBI and big media on the matter of the Hunter Biden laptop. I myself think Trump was cheaated.
Trump’s House Managers had a good defense regarding J6 in the (second) Senate impeachment trial; namely, that lots of politicians use the kind of rhetoric Trump used in his White House speech of that morning and, furthermore, that Trump asked his supporters to cooperate with law enforcement. In fact, the House Managers got Trump acquitted.
Now comes some new accusations in this criminal case. Trump is not accused of incitement, but of conspiracy; viz., conspiracy to overturn the election (in four different flavors) and thus the American people of the right to vote.
Your point (about the change in the law) is actually pertinent. Trump can argue he has a right to petition government (not the same thing as freedom of speech, but another part of the First Amemndment), and he was petitioning government.
A large number (121) Republican Congressmen objected to counting the electoral votes from Arizona, and a small number (6) objected to counting the electoral votes from that state (maybe six others would also have objected, if not for the riot). No Senator objected to the counting of the electoral votes from any other state. The outcome of the election was never in doubt.
In the case of Arizona, the objection failed overwhelmingly.
Furthermore, the objection was not to overturn the election of Arizona, but to send the electoral votes back to that state for the opportunity for a recount. So, it was NOT a conspiracy to take anybody’s right to vote.
This was the last stop for Trump. He failed again and again and again to persuade anybody to recount the vote in a way favorable to him. He was a total and complete loser.
So, why the conspiracy charge? Is it now illegal to try to do the impossible? Or, can’t we say, as Americans, that our process worked? I believe if Trump were to say something like that (that he lost), as opposed to re-litigating the argument that he won, he will beat the charge and have a good chance of election.
But, the Democrats are goading him. They know he’s an egomaniac and will never admit he lost.
Barr is becoming more odious by the day. Think what Trump could have done with someone who actually supported and worked for him rather than obstruct him. The fact that Barr supported Wray proves he is just a deep stater.
To this day so many talk negatively of Pres Trump’s picks in his cabinet. Yet none seem to accept or acknowledge that no matter who he named, he had to get that person past McConnell and Schumer. And if a person can’t see what he had to deal with they’re willfully ignorant to the environment that Pres Trump was trying to operate in.
And now, Barr is shining a gigantic spotlight on what Pres Trump faced every single day of his presidency.
And he still got sh*t done.
So, when he said that he “knew more than the Generals” and he was made fun of and ridiculed for the statement. Based on the withdrawal of Afghanistan, for instance, handled by those very same Generals it would appear that he was right. Again.

Finally, a voice of reason and common sense here...well said brother.
Afghanistan
Our so called leaders should have been Dispatched forthwith
Pig man speaks
"Ha ha, charade you are!"
“Trust Barr!!” Screamed the QBalls.
Every last one of them should be kicked off this forum.
Every last one.

One thing I keep coming back to: Arizona was one of the States where there was gigantic switches in voting totals from “in person” to “mail”.
It was covered by Darren Beattie in several Revolver articles.

https://www.revolver.news/2021/06/trump-demands-pa-audit-revolver-why-pennsylvania-was-rigged/
But the issue is that the the flag for âÂÂin personâ or âÂÂmailâ is created when the ballot was created.
Then the machine downloads the ballot totals multiple times per hour, for ~20 hours as âÂÂin personâÂÂ.
Then at 4am all those ballots are downloaded from the machines and they are suddenly âÂÂmailâÂÂ. ???
Every ballot record must have been edited or replaced or...
Even if Trump thinks.he lost but lied, that’s a bad thing, but certainly not a crime. The First Amendment and all that.
That’s why it’s called “the Swamp”.
That’s why it’s called “the Swamp”.
Trump is different. That’s why the Washington establishment hates him.
Did Democraps find Barr in bed with a little boy? Seems like it.
His father gave Jeffery Epstein a job at a prestigious private school without a degree or qualifications. Epstein groomed some students and parlayed that gig into a “special projects” for JP Morgan.
Little fat toady is trying to cover for all the Lolita Express passengers.
Trump knows he won.
He’s well aware of enough fraud.
If he wasn’t, he could just come here to FR and get a lot of proof that the election was stolen.
I pray that the fat load Bill Barr gets his arse in trouble.
What a waste...my goodness...he was WORSE than Jeff Sessions.
I think someone has him by the short hairs, not sure he has testicles...
That is exactly right. Except I'll bet McConnell acted like he ONLY had Trump's best interest in mind.
