Swamp Creature Bill Barr On 2020 Election Fraud: "It Was All Bullsh*t"
An upcoming book on President Donald Trump’s final days in office is providing explosive details on the break between himself and former Attorney General Bill Barr. The Atlantic obtained an excerpt of Betrayal, from ABC’s Jon Karl, which delves into how Trump and Barr’s relationship with each other deteriorated in the aftermath of the 2020 election. Barr spoke to Karl and recalled how he and Trump reached their breaking point when the former AG refused to back up Trump’s unsubstantiated claims that the election was marred by fraud and corruption.
After speaking with Barr in the process of writing the book, Karl wrote that the former AG’s “betrayal” of Trump occurred on December 1, the day Barr said in an interview that the Justice Department has seen no evidence of fraud that would’ve changed the outcome of the election. Even though Barr previously raised concerns earlier by green lighting a 2020 election probe, Karl writes that Barr told him “he had already concluded it was highly unlikely that evidence existed that would tip the scales in the election.”
“He had expected Trump to lose and therefore was not surprised by the outcome,” Karl continues. “He also knew that at some point, Trump was going to confront him about the allegations, and he wanted to be able to say that he had looked into them and that they were unfounded.”
