Barr: Trump became 'detached from reality' after 2020 election loss
aol ^ | June 13, 2022 | JON WARD

Former Attorney General William Barr told the Jan. 6 committee that former President Donald Trump lost touch with reality following his 2020 election loss to Joe Biden and showed no interest in evidence that disproved his wild claims of voter fraud.

“Before the election it was sometimes possible to talk sense to the president,” Barr said. “But I felt that after the election he didn’t seem to be listening.”

“There was never an indication of interest in what the actual facts were.”

Barr concluded that Trump, who insisted without evidence that voter fraud had cost him victory in the election, had become “detached from reality.”

Barr, one of former Trump’s most powerful allies during his term of office, related his growing concern and frustration with Trump after the election. He testified about conversations he had with Trump from late November until he resigned in mid-December.

The claims made by Trump and his allies were “not meritorious,” Barr said of the conspiracy theories put forth following Trump’s election defeat.

Meadows and Kushner reassured Barr, that Trump would not keep making unsubstantiated claims for much longer.

“We're working on this,” Kushner said, according to Barr.

Barr then decided to speak out publicly and rebut Trump’s falsehoods. The allegations of votes being switched by Dominion voting machines or software were “idiotic,” Barr said.

“I thought, If he really believes this stuff, he’s become detached from reality,” Barr added.

But Barr didn’t come unattached from his feed bag.
The fat POS!

That is obvious-they were attacking the election process from many different directions, and the machines were just one of them.

I have long felt that the machines were useful as a point to easily see just who had voted to that point, and who had not. This would allow them to adjust on the fly how many votes, and what kind of physical votes they could stuff illegally into the process (to avoid stuffing too many ballots (in which the votes cast exceeded the registered voters, as and example) which would clearly be a red flag and would have attracted notice.

I just got Dinesh D’Souza’s film 2000 Mules that I ordered direct from his website.

I should forward it to Bill Barr.

Happy Birthday Donald J. Trump on Flag Day.

When Trump gets back into office. I want to be the head of DOT. I would love it to the middle of Alaska and if they don’t want to move to Alaska. They would be fired. Then I’d close it down. 🤓

That's why they won't clean up the voter rolls. It gives them a falsely high number of voters.

Sigh. I was all gung ho to get into the voter registrar position in my town to attack this because it is something I care about.

But I went to an annual town meeting on Saturday, and voiced my opposition to incorporating climate change into all town discussions, since that isn’t what my real estate taxes should go to.

I was overwhelmed by people who got up to say people like me were selfish, and that we had to do this for “the children”.

Not kidding. That was the overwhelming sentiment.

I now feel that my trying to do what I can to clean voter rolls in this Leftist town would not only be fruitless, it would be completely worthless.

I think this is part of it. Maybe he had “protesters” come to his home to influence him.

Re: But barr isn’t an honest and upright man of integrity- that much is clear now. sadly Trump was duped by a dishonest man.

I couldn't agree with you more. I would add that if Trump was duped, it was because Trump is a businessman and not a politician. However, I don't think Donald Trump will be so easily duped a second time.

Barr has zero credibility. This man and the DOJ had the Hunter Biden laptop well before election day and did NOTHING! Both Joe and Hunter are compromised. China loves having this leverage over the Biden White House. Joe was a national security risk, but it seems Barr hated Trump even more than this fact. Shame on you Mr. Barr!
