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.

How is that Durham Report coming along?
its TBD what Barr did or didn’t do.....I certainly wouldn’t trust that particular media....I trust little media actually....
“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.”
Pretty good indicator. I didn’t pay enough attention to that. But it’s totally clear now, Barr is a member in good standing of the swamp.
I am continually amazed when I consider the array of forces that aligned against my president, and by proxy, against me.
“Trump only had access to a pool of people presented by mcconnell.”
Many of us who worked and reported in the city for years were amazed that
Trump picked Sessions who put him in a headlock from day one.
Besides, Trump and Pence determined that Flynn needed to be dumped cause he “lied”. Another bad hire. He should have known the deep state had their knives out for Flynn after Obama pushed him out.
He should have fired Comey......day ONE! Another poor judgment call.
Trump didn’t know it but the deep state setup would haunt him till his last days.
Bill wasn’t bright enough to recognize Chris Wray lied to him.
I pray they all burn in hell soon, very soon
Thanks for that picture. A real keeper when I need to backup my claims that Barr is a commie pig.
Feeling ashamed that I let myself get fooled again...
Barr and Stiff Sessions are in the running for the worst AGs in history, on the basis that both of them ran flak non-stop for the “opposition”.
He needs to own his own bad judgment in so many ways......it started with Chris Christie. He was told that was his first big mistake.....
From the events of the past two weeks everyone should realize what President Trump was up against while in office.
Who vetted Barr? You can bet that President Trump did not walk away from world events to research Barr's life from birth.
One of his advisers, maybe even the FBI (whom we now know is maybe even more political than McConnell) vetted Barr.
But the point is that President Trump had and still has thousands of people who lied to him and are still doing so.
And never forget, the way the president's office is set up, no one not approved by his staff gets in to see him so what he learns is heavily influenced by his staff.
And they have been adept at hiding their true colors. Mark Meadows is a perfect example.The way Meadows teamed with Jim Jones made him look like the real deal, a dream assistant to the president. He even fooled us in NC.
If it is true that Barr was installed for the purpose of running out the clock and covering up all he could in the meanwhile, it stands to reason that great effort was made to convince Trump that Barr was a better man than really is the case.
So think about how hard it must have been for Trump to sort out truth from evil.
The staff is the eyes and ears for the Prez. He started with Priebus as chief of staff. Not sure how that decision was made but can’t think of a weaker candidate......
This is a lie. Barr can not do that.
Sites like this are either disinformation sites to demoralize us or run by lunatics we should ignore. This site also claimed the twin towers were controlled demolitions. This is repeating a story from Axios, a far left site, citing unnamed sources as if they were in the same room. Ever since Trump took office, the press has run stories denying him any professional confidence at all.
This story is fake to make the left feel strong and the right feel weak.

Simple fact - everything that happened after the election, up to and including what happens going forward, is on Bill Barr.
He can hide behind his history and “integrity” and reputation all he wants, but the deaths that arise, the burnt buildings, every lost job, etc., would all have been different if he had let Trump send the troops into Portland and put the beat down on the commies. They would have been too afraid to try to pull all the shit that has happened since and all the shit that will probably happen in the coming weeks.
And Trump’s answer when those three said he could not invoke the insurrection act should have been, “You’re fired. Now Chief of Staff, get me three men who will do what I tell them.”
“..it started with Chris Christie. He was told that was his first big mistake.....”

There were very few good choices available and it’s been that way for decades.
He can’t stop a Snowden pardon. All he can do is whine and give an opinion.
SIGH. I understand your point, but simply giving in isn’t an option.
Mr President, you still have our support.
