Former Attorney General William Barr said that former President Donald Trump was resorting to “extortion” to continue to exert influence over the Republican Party, and said he still hasn’t decided what to make of the FBI search of Mar-a-Lago and the government’s recovery of hundreds of pages of classified documents.
In a lengthy interview published Thursday, former New York Times editor Bari Weiss asked Barr why more Republicans did not simply come out and say that Trump’s claims that election fraud had prevented him from winning the 2020 election were, to use Barr's previous word, “bullshit.”
“The tactic that Trump is using to exert this control over the Republican Party is extortion,” Barr said of his former boss. “What other great leader has done this? Telling the party, ‘If it’s not me, I’m going to ruin your election chances by telling my base to sit home. And I’ll sabotage whoever you nominate other than me.’ It shows what he’s all about. He’s all about himself.”

Durham is a fraud who wants to rehab the FBi Coup Operation.
Since day one the republican party leadership wanted Trump gone and to keep the Tat view...The only extortion that President Trump is doing is that of telling the leadership if you want my supporters then you have to keep me happy.
This is a “jump the shark” comment.
A politician endorsing his preferred candidates is hardly anything new. Let alone “extortion.”
14. Barr is an absolute idiot, period! Every thing else is just piling more crap on crap.
Do you have the plots for Georgia and arizona?
Rope. Tree.
Derp State traitors must swing.
FU BB - u useless criminal like pence!
Pence, Barr Mcconnell are doing everything they already to throw away 2022 and 2024 just to spite TRUMP - I hate these chumps as much as all the hateful dem treasonous bastards of the USA - All are criminals in the govt that has lost its way so badly that it can NOT be saved - it has to be torn to shreds and started all over with only one department - the BORDER CONTROL and DEFENSE of the NEW FREEDOM STATES of the REPUBLIC!
It is an established FACT that election laws in multiple close states were ignored, and that courts later “OK’d” ignoring the laws on the books.
The legislature is supposed to make the laws, NOT THE COURT!
Courts can’t just ignore the laws when they want!
Trump is right about feeling that the election was stolen from him because the RULES were not followed! It doesn’t matter that courts rubber-stamped the rules not being followed!
Sod Off, LardAssBarr.
Barr defended the FBI’s Hostage Rescue Team after Lon Horiuchi blew Vicki Weaver’s head off while she was holding her baby in her arms.

FUBB
Many - all? - leaders have done so.
In his next administration, Trump needs to make certain swamp weasels are not given any positions of authority, and his S-I-L Kushner is kept far away from the Oval Office.
Oh my, another gop deep state hack clutching their perils as they faint because some outsiders are trying to enter THEIR country club. Yes, it’s a fight for the Republican Party. This is the way politics works. And if the old entrenched corrupt power brokers like Cheney and McConnell don’t like it, they can save us all a lot of time by just leaving and joining the democrats. Otherwise they can sit on top and watch their machines be dismantled piece by piece from beneath them.
Hey Bill... look up the definition of “calumny”... ‘cause that’s what you are engaged in.
Anybody still think Barr is a white hat?
(In his next administration, Trump needs to make certain swamp weasels are not given any positions of authority)
How’s he supposed to do that when his administration choices have to get Mitch McConnell’s approval for key positions? That’s what happened before.
