Barr claims state efforts to pull Trump from ballots are ‘counterproductive’
The Hill ^ | 01/06/2024 | LAUREN IRWIN

Former Attorney General Bill Barr said state efforts to pull former President Trump from primary ballots for the upcoming election are “counterproductive” and actually strengthening Trump’s chances of victory.

“Regardless of what I, you know, think of Trump and the fact that I oppose his renomination, I think he has to be beaten at the ballot box,” Barr told Fox News’ Neil Cavuto on Saturday. “And these heavy-handed efforts to disenfranchise his supporters, I think are counterproductive. If anything, they make him stronger.”

As the leftists get closer to locking up the 2024 election via unpunished voter fraud, you’ll start hearing more of these stories.

“unproductive”

So if the lawfare were productive he’d be all for it?

He’s right, they are counterproductive. That’s why he’s against them. He knows these stupid tactics will only help Trump.

Is counterproductive a legal term?

More like counterproductive in exposing their plan to continue ‘fortifying’ the election process. Too much noise brings excess attention. Some courts may actually want to examine the evidence. They can’t let that happen.

Yup, Barr makes no mention of it being lawless. He's only concerned about it being "counterproductive".

"Counterproductive"?

I think the words he is searching for are "not Constitutional".
