As Byron York notes, polls showing that Biden is losing to Trump by margins of four to 10 percentage points “set off a mass freakout in the Democratic Party.” Across the aisle, former Attorney General William Barr also shows signs of disturbance, and a possible change of heart.
“I’ve said all along given two bad choices,” Barr recently proclaimed, “I think it’s my duty to pick the person I think would do the least harm to the country. And in my mind, I will vote the Republican ticket. I think the real danger to the country — the real danger to democracy, as I say — is the progressive agenda. Trump may be playing Russian roulette, but a continuation of the Biden administration is national suicide in my opinion.”
If that leaves people puzzled, they might recall what Barr has actually said and done “all along.” For example, he supported the FBI raid on Trump’s Mar-A-Lago residence.
“I think a lot of the attacks on the FBI are over the top because a decision like this is not made by the FBI,” Barr explained. The DOJ and AG would make the call and “the FBI would be told to go and execute it.” Barr also supported the indictment of Trump for mishandling classified documents. Trump was “not a victim,” and “if even half of it is true, then he’s toast,” and so on. That is hard to top, but Barr was up to the task. In May of 2023, he predicted “a horror show” if Trump was again elected president.
“You may want his policies,” Barr told reporters, “but Trump will not deliver Trump policies. He will deliver chaos, and if anything lead to a backlash that will set his policies much further back than they otherwise would be.” (emphasis added) Who, exactly, would deliver Trump policies Barr doesn’t say. Consider also Barr’s One Damn Thing After Another: Memoirs of an Attorney General, published in 2022.
Right out of law school, Barr launched his career with the CIA, and aside from Stansfield Turner, CIA bosses come off well. John Brennan shows up on page 190 claiming that the CIA knew what the Russians were doing in the 2016 election. In the 1976 election, John Brennan voted for the Stalinist Gus Hall, candidate of the Communist Party USA, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Soviet Union. Barr is not curious why the CIA would hire such a person. The Gus Hall voter was a signatory to the letter calling the Hunter Biden laptop story an example of “Russian disinformation.” As this confirms, there are no “former” CIA directors and agents.
Barr is a big fan of Robert Mueller and deputy attorney general Rob Rosenstein, who appointed Mueller to investigate President Trump. “Few can appreciate the complexities Rod faced during that tumultuous time,” writes the former AG, “and even fewer will know the important contributions he made to the administration and the country.” Barr mentions not a single one, so the contributions can’t have been very important. The former Attorney General and CIA man is also friendly with James Comey and admires Christopher Wray, who denied the FBI spied on Trump.
Barr tasked U.S. Attorney John Durham to look into the Russia hoax, but as the memoir explains, “I made it clear that neither President Obama nor Vice President Biden were in Durham’s crosshairs.” So for William Barr, some people are above the law, a curious position for the Attorney General of the United States.
On October 24, 2020, Joe Biden said, “We have put together the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.” In a December 1 interview, Barr claimed, “To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have affected a different outcome in the election.” Barr failed to indicate what independent election investigations or audits he had conducted or consulted. A ballpark figure might be zero. For Barr, old Joe, who never even campaigned, won fair and square.
William Barr now supports the election of Donald Trump as the person who would “do the least harm to the country.” Embattled Americans have to wonder if he cleared it with the FBI, now openly deployed against Trump supporters, smeared as violent extremists, domestic terrorists and so forth. According to CIA man John Gentry, the politicization of intelligence was “aimed at Trump” and the IC agencies are “available for reactivation in the event of another serious candidacy by Trump or the election of another Republican president.
Is Biden’s CIA boss William Burns okay with that? Do Burns and Wray think another Biden administration would be national suicide? Would Burns and Wray support the candidate who would do the “least harm” to the country? Will the CIA, FBI, NSA, DOJ, DHS et al decline to meddle in the 2024 election?
Can Barr, Burns or Wray tell us how many of the 10 million illegals Biden let into the country, and the 22 million who were already here, will be headed to the polls in November? As Trump says, we’ll have to see what happens.
barr and his cronies will be suffering TDS as long as they are alive . death will be the only relief . as with all swamp dwellers , hollywood , sports personalities , major corporations and the like its a mental affliction . when they enter hell and it can be just a breath away they will have more than TDS to worry about as it will be the last thing they will give a thought too .
Barr was useless as head of the DOJ, utterly uninterested in Dem malfeasance, just a placeholder collecting a big paycheck for nothing. If only Dem AGs would follow his lead instead of acting like consiglieri for Dem Presidents (Holder, Lynch and Merrick), burying Dem manure while leveling bogus charges against Trump, Merrick the most shameless.
When even Barr admits that Trump is a lesser evil than Biden, why did he write a poison pen book and trash Trump on every leftist media site that would have him? He’s got the Romney mark of a RINO – far more enraged and attacking a Republican President trying to do things to save the Republic than the doddering mediocrity Biden fronting a destructive cabal bringing down the nation that Trump wanted to make great again. Where are the spittle flecked denunciations of Joe from Barr and Romney? Do they realize how foolish or malicious they look misdirecting their fire?
Big Mouth Barr is a Bushy solider, toeing the Global elite message. He was a plant, just like Mike Johnson.
Rip Van Winkle.
Thanks Lloyd !!!
Deep state operative. His biggest concern as AG was what was for lunch at the Justice Department cafferteria.
I watched Barr make a gullible monkey out of Mark Levin on his TV show. Barr’s acting was pretty good until the last few minutes. Levin kept smiling at him. Barr’s back stabbing and betrayal of the country -not just the president – has since been fully revealed even without his lefty TDS smear book.
Barr has been called a psychopathic actor. Let’s not keep hoping to be fooled again.
Barr didn’t have trump derangement syndrome, imo.
Rather he was the embodiment of the Peter Principle: he was promoted to a job he couldn’t handle well. AG is a job where law becomes a political construct. He was a talented lawyer, but he was unable to do the politics.
Or has he just accepted that Pres. Trump is going to be elected a second term? Making now a good time to change his tune, util he gets another chance to pounce.
All Barr did to ef over Pres. Trump—and now he wants him back? Hmmm
Kennedy will be the Dems candidate soon enough. Biden gets dumped after the debate.
As a corrupt Catholic politician, Bill Barr would be a seamless successor for Pope Francis.
Add Barr to the long list of cockroaches that Trump has flushed out, once he squashes their reputation they stay squashed like the miserable insects they are.
“Has former Attorney General William Barr been cured of Trump Derangement Syndrome?” Definitely not. Before Barr’s appointment as Trump’s attorney general, he was advertised as a straight shooter, called a spade a spade, and declared as an honest broker in law enforcement. This was mostly a smokescreen, hiding the fact that Barr is just a typical player in the games that the administrative state plays with law enforcement. Barr did nothing to eradicate the DOJ of Democrat activists calling themselves Federal prosecutors, and social justice sycophants. He did nothing to discipline and fire corrupt senior FBI officials. He did nothing to eliminate weaponized Federal agencies of the government (FBI, IRS, EPA, DOJ, et al). He did nothing to enforce Federal laws on personnel, and corporations working as agents of a foreign power. His so called investigation of the 2020 election integrity failures, absentee ballot problems, & ballot harvesting problems in multiple cities was superficial and conducted with a preformed outcome. Barr is just another lawyer that periodically works in and out of government and achieves nothing that helps people.
He prevaricates to put it nicely. He’s basically a Rabid Animal.
Could we trust this big swamp rat? I doubt it.
Make no mistake, He’s an Operative of The Democrat Communist criminal Terrorist Organization of America.
I was slightly hesitant to read your article when I read the title. I was concerned that you would say how Barr was misunderstood and he really was coming over to the Trump camp. I thank you for putting my concerns to rest. Thanks for reminding us that Barr betrayed Trump as well as the rest of us. I remember my frustration and Trump’s frustration of how slowly Barr was moving in the “investigation”. And now he has written a book and will possibly make money outlining his betrayal to us all.
I can’t lower the bar far enough to tolerate Barr.
I’ll give him credit for one big one: he spun the Mueller report before it was fully released and go ahead of the story before the Media could spin it their way. Can’t underestimate how important that was.
