Former Attorney General William Barr writes in his new book that former President Donald Trump is to blame for the January 6 Capitol Hill riot as he calls for a new 2024 nominee.

“The election was not ‘stolen,’” he asserts in the book, titled One Damn Thing After Another. “Trump lost it.”

Barr also profiles a meeting he had in the Oval Office after he declared publicly that widespread evidence of voter fraud in the 2020 election did not exist.
“’This is killing me—killing me. This is pulling the rug right out from under me,’” Barr claims Trump shouted at him.

Mr. Trump then launched into a list of other grievances he had with his attorney general: that the federal prosecutor Mr. Barr ordered to review the origins of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Russia probe that preceded the Mueller report hadn’t released his findings before the 2020 election, and that Mr. Barr declined to prosecute former FBI Director James Comey after a department watchdog rebuked him for sharing memos that contained sensitive information about his interactions with Mr. Trump, a complaint brought up repeatedly by the president.
Barr claims he offered his resignation at that moment, which the president accepted. “Leave and don’t go back to your office. You are done right now. Go home!” Barr asserts Trump told him.
Barr eventually resigned from his position weeks later.
Regarding January 6, the former attorney general said that Trump lost himself after the election and pushed the voter fraud to such an intense degree that it led to the riot on Capitol Hill.
“The absurd lengths to which he took his ‘stolen election’ claim led to the rioting on Capitol Hill,” he writes.

Isn’t it interesting he wouldn’t act to indict over real wrongdoing, but he’s willing to write a book and declare Trump’s “guilt” as a general matter.
Did he have a chapter on Pelosi refusing to protect the Capitol despite Trump’s urging?
Barr was a plant by one of the people Trump should have fired on his first day
barr’s job was to run interference for the deep state
Trump needs a real AG in 2024
Bagpipes Barr is a minion of the Deep State. What do they have on him?
I would NOT trust Barr to water my horses.
Let’s hope that Trump 2.0 is way better at choosing folks to work for him.
The self-righteous duo Pence and Barr should run together in the primaries.
They are birds of a feather.
It would be fun seeing them get destroyed.
Which one does Barr find so impressive? No names mentioned because this is more BS from Barr.
Barr was a disaster but ( we all have admit it) it was Trump who picked him. Ditto for Sessions. Trump must bear responsibility for these 2 awful picks
Crawl back into the swamp, Billy….
This is a world war between the Elites and the people.
The way DC “works” that would be almost impossible. They move in and out of the “government” on a conveyor belt. As my smart cousin told me long ago: they are all the same guy.
Barr ended up being one of the greatest disappointments of the 21st century.
Another do nothing politician that purposefully obfuscated his post and squandered his chance to make things better.
Bush League Republicans want you back on the plantation voting for amnesty candidates.
Barr. Just another snake from the swamp. Backstabbing SOB.
Barr never prosecuted ANY democrat crime. F ‘em!
