SUBVERSION: Bill Barr Told Trump Election Fraud Claims Were ‘Bulls**t,’ Protected BLM Rioters From Insurrection Act, And Blocked Snowden Pardon
National File ^ | JANUARY 18, 2021 | GABRIEL KEANE

Posted on 01/18/2021 11:27:22 AM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

A new report from left-wing outlet Axios details multiple instances of former Attorney General Bill Barr actively working to ensure that President Trump’s political agenda failed on multiple fronts, including suppression of violent left-wing riots and protecting election integrity. National File has previously reported on Barr’s questionable background and behavior during his tenure in the Trump administration. Though the Axios piece vigorously portrays Trump in a negative light while glorifying Barr, the anecdotes contained within are nonetheless damning for the former AG.

Following breaking news that Barr had denied election fraud, Trump reportedly summoned Barr to demand an explanation.

“The stuff that these people are filling your ear with just isn’t true,” Barr allegedly told the President. “It’s just bulls**t.” Pressed by Trump, Barr admitted that he had not even watched the Michigan Senate hearing on election fraud.

Barr’s slothful response to widespread reports of election report would later be noted in a scathing rebuke from the Trump legal team.

Earlier in the year, Barr reportedly undermined the President’s desire to use the military to quell mass looting and rioting by Black Lives Matter and Antifa militants that ravaged myriad American cities throughout the summer.

President Trump wanted to invoke the Insurrection Act and make a show of strength which would force the looters off American streets in August, but Barr pushed back against the idea with help from Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Mark Milley and Defense Secretary Mark Esper.

An exasperated Trump reportedly banged his hand on the Resolute Desk and stated, “No one gives me any f**king support!”

Shortly before Trump confirmed that Barr would be gone by Christmas, the AG preemptively moved to block the President from pardoning National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden.

What is sad is he the Administration and both the house and senate but he couldn’t build a coalition before the swamp jumped him with Mueller. His weak AG, maybe his worst decision ever, pinned him against the ropes and he really never recovered.

“Trump reportedly summoned Barr....”

“Reportedly” this and “reportedly” that. I got tired of FAKE NEWS using “sources close to the matter say” so I guess “reportedly” is the new anonymous source. *smh*

IF Barr did those things, I’d say he failed our POTUS. BUT I have never seen proof he did those things. What I saw was him forcing the Mueller dog and pony show to stop, forcing out Mueller and Rod Rosenstein, blocking the publication of the Mueller Report, which the left is still desperate to see published (more slanders and accusations).

The left was organizing riots to occur if Barr fired either Mueller or Rosenstein, so Barr moved them out as if it was their own idea. I think Mueller and Rosenstein have legal problems the left doesn’t talk about stemming from their actions back then.

Barr could have worked with the FBI to pile on President Trump and he didn’t. If he had, this would have all been over and Biden’s puppet master would be President already.

It was tough to be a worse AG than Sessions.

Go back to November-December 2016 after Trump was elected.

How many people in Trump’s Rolodex were willing to take a job in the federal government?

How many of those people would you even WANT to have in his administration?

It’s easy to forget that Trump's inner circle was filled with Democrats like the Kushners and criminals like Michael Cohen.

Dominion has claimed that “it is not possible for a bad actor to change election results without detection.”
Dominion does, meanwhile, allow at least one avenue for manual adjustment of vote tallies as part of a process known as “adjudication.”
Santa Clara County, California, as part of its agreement with Dominion Voting Systems, stipulates that the company’s software must allow county
staff “to adjust tally based on review of scanned ballot images.” Evelyn Mendez, public information officer for Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters:
“the wording [in the contract] is a little weird;” it refers to a provision meant to ensure that “adjudication” of uncertain votes can occur.

===========================REFERENCE====================

What do Joe and Hunter Biden know about Dominion Voting Systems Inc. at the center of a fraudulent election?

NOTE WELL: Dominion's ’18 Patents’ and ‘Intellectual Property Rights’ were exchanged on September 25, 2019 for Collateral from the People’s Republic of China's HongKong Shanghai Banking Corporation ---includes Patent Numbers, Descriptions, Collateral Security Agreement..... plus more ....

In a yet unexplained move, states including Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin stopped releasing vote counts on election night. Fact-checkers have noted that these states didn'€™t stop counting.....but not WHY they stopped releasing the results of their counting. At the time the states inexplicably stopped releasing vote numbers, Trump's vote was so overwhelming it broke their algorhythms. They had to go in and do a separate reset to (a) back-fill votes for Biden, (b) delete Trump votes, and, (c) create new Biden votes.

At 4 a.m. the next morning, huge amounts of fresh Biden votes were reported. Trump€'s betting odds plummeted, and days later the all-knowing, "ask no questions" MSM declared Biden to be president-elect.

A mark of good leadership is knowing who to hire and who to fire.

Trump will know better next time. It’s hard to blame him given that he’s not a Swamp rat himself. He should have fired a LOT of people when he got in, but he didn’t know. At least we now know who to go after next election.

I think we’ll find out who’s loyal to whom and why.

I agree. The Sessions pick for AG was disastrous and shackled the administration from Day 1. Trump’s Achilles heel has always been personnel decisions. I think that Trump was flattered and grateful that Sessions came out as an early Trump supporter/endorser in the ‘16 primary campaign. IIRC, Sessions may have been the first Senator to back him.

Nail on the head. It was OJT for DJT. Frankly, he never expected to win the White House. Once he gained the nomination she@@ got real. Even then, his campaign against Clinton was plagued with inexperience.

What’s amazing is his adminstration has as much success as it did inspire of the media onslaught, insider opposition, and a McCain led senate that opposed most every move.

You have no clue what the hell you are talking about. Trump only had access to a pool of people presented by mcconnell. That includes the judges. So before you go around crapping on the only man in the fight and fighting for an ungrateful slob like yourself, at least know what the hell you are talking about.

Barr played us for fools.Some of us. Some of us were skeptical of him from day 1 because his pedigree was 'served under Bush'.

For me the moment I saw though him for sure was when he bloviated about being outraged about Jeffrey Epstein's murder and going to get to the bottom of it. Then when nobody was looking, hr signed off that it was all just a kooky series of impossible coincidences that left him alone, without supervision, and with the cameras all turned off and he definitely killed himself in that tiny impossible window. Right then it was obvious: he's in on it all and he's the guy who pretends to be the tough guy anti-Sessions while behind closed doors slow rolling and stonewalling everything.

IF THIS IS TRUE Who cares what a guy who was just another failure at his job has to say. The “bull s%%t Bill was that the state of Pennsylvania saying the counted more absentee ballots than they sent out or the video of the Democrats pulling votes out from under a table when the Republicans were thrown out of the building in Atlanta? Go away Bill, stop lying - the commies will never accept you no matter how much you back stab President Trump.

He needs to own his own bad judgement in so many ways......it started with Chris Christie. He was told that was his first big mistake.....

The biggest weakness of the Trump administration was that he did not have a group of experienced, old Washington hands, who were loyal to him and his agenda, to fill his cabinet and other key positions. He was given many bad recommendations, some probably to intentionally undermine him.

I don't thinkj it was so much his poor judgement in hiring as it was that the loyal, experienced government individuals he needed simply did not exist for most positions.
