Telling the anti-Trump press everything they want to hear, 73-year-old former Atty. Gen. Bill Barr gets his two minutes of fame, joining the liberal onslaught against 77-year-old former President Donald. Once called Trump’s lapdog by the same media that now puts him on the air, Barr shows what happens to former Trump employees when they part ways. Barr joins the liberal mob in pouncing on Trump, pronouncing him guilty in the press before one witness takes the stand. Calling Trump a “consummate narcissist,” Barr talks more about himself than Trump. But what politician isn’t narcissistic, since Barr throws around clinical labels he knows little about. Barr shows in his rush-to-judgment he has no fidelity to the American criminal justice system affording every defendant the presumption of innocence. Barr’s vitriol against Trump speaks volumes bout himself.
Barr betrays his own principles to jump at the chance to yuck it up with fake broadcast journalists on CBS “Face the Nation,” telling host Margaret Brennan that Trump engages in reckless conduct,” referring in present time to allege pas misdeeds related to boxes packed up by underlings and shipped to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in the frenetic end of Trump’s presidency. Whether the boxes contained some docs marked “classified” or “Top Secret,” means nothing about whether they constitute any national security treat. Special Counsel Jack Smith, 54, declared June 9 in announcing his 37-count indictment against Trump that the documents threatened U.S. national security. How could worthless old docs threaten national security when they were boxed and held at Mar-a-Lago?
Barr joins the angry media mob looking to lynch Trump for practically everything he does. Wasn’t Barr the one that appointed Special Counsel John Durham (R-Conn.) to investigate the FBI’s, under former FBI Director James Comey, corrupt activity spying on Trump’s 2026 campaign? Barr said Comey spied on Trump’s 2016 campaign, prompting audible groans from the DOJ and FBI. How far has Barr flip-flopped since leaving his post as Attorney General? Barr was routinely vilified in the liberal press for daring to defend Trump against the torrent of specious media charges, all turned out fake. Barr knew all about the 22-month, $40 million Mueller investigation into Trump’s alleged ties to the Kremlin. Mueller concluded, against Democrats and the media’s lies, that Trump colluded with Russia. Barr knows that Trump was framed by Democrats and the corrupt U.S. press.
Barr insists now tsk-tsk that Trump violated the law while he contaminates the future jury pool, opining about what Trump did or didn’t do. “But the fact of the matter is, he is a consummate narcissist and he constantly engages in reckless conduct that puts his political follower at risk and the conservative and Republican agenda at risk,” Barr told CBS’ Brennan, stating his own opinions. Barr doesn’t speak for conservatives or Republican Party, only his personal vendetta with Trump. Whether Trump was good for the GOP or not, Barr knows he kept the country at peace and the economy prosperous during his four years, despite a global pandemic. Yet Barr forgets quickly how he criticized the DOJ and FBI for investigating Trump without probable cause in Crossfire Hurricane, Comey’s illegal counterintelligence investigation of Trump base on Hillary’s fake Steele dossier.
Labeling Trump as “narcissist” speaks volumes about Barr, whether Trump is a narcissist or not. Barr can’t possibly think that 80-year-old President Joe Biden has protected U.S. national security going to war against the Russian Federation and threatening war with Communist China? Barr yucks it up with Brennan, a known Trump hater, looking, like other Democrats, to sabotage Trump’s 2024 campaign. “If he was in the White House again, he will always put his own interests and gratifying his own ego ahead of everything else, including the country’s interests,” Barr said, making no sense. Trump worked night-and-day to protect U.S. border and promote better trade deals for the United States. Barr’s comments clearly represent his own personal vendetta, not anything factual. Barr likes to say “the fact of the matter is” when he knows his own position is indefensible.
Barr shows no class as a former two-time Attorney General, denouncing Trump all because it plays well in the liberal press. Speaking to the press, Barr has plenty of takers to denounce Trump at every opportunity. Barr can’t fathom with all of Trump’s legal problems that he remains the GOP frontrunner for the 2024 nomination, all because rank-and-file voters know the meida’s biased and disgraceful treatment of the former president. Making a mountain out of a molehill, Smith reveals for all to see his extreme prejudice against Trump, saying worthless old docs threaten U.S. national security. Smith should open his eyes to Biden’s disastrous foreign policy, spending billions on a proxy war against the Kremlin and threatening war with China. Biden, not Trump, is the real threat to U.S. national security.
