Last night, former President Donald Trump held his first major rally of the year. The event is part of what will be an ongoing series of rallies held to bolster primary challenges to Republicans that Trump opposes. In this case, it was Ohio Rep. Anthony Gonzalez in the crosshairs, with the former president endorsing Max Miller.

While that was going on, though, former Attorney General Bill Barr was sitting down with ABC News’ Jonathan Karl. In regards to the 2020 election, Barr’s answer left no doubt that he was firmly exiting Trump’s orbit.

This is obviously not going to sit well with a lot of Republicans nor is this going to give them confidence that Barr did everything he could to root out FBI and DOJ corruption while serving in his position as attorney general. After all, the much-ballyhooed Durham investigation continues to go absolutely nowhere while people that allegedly committed crimes spend their time on CNN blasting out political partisanship (i.e. Andrew McCabe).

With that said, let me take what Barr is doing here in two parts.

Let’s start with the fact that he’s sitting down to give takes like this to Jonathan Karl, an absolute hack of a “reporter” who spends his days trashing Republicans on Twitter. Let’s say that what Barr is saying here is defensible (we’ll get to that in a minute). There’s still no reason to run to one of the enemy’s chief stenographers to drop hot takes like this. And yes, Karl and his network savaged Bill Barr while he was serving in the Trump administration.

What this does is further the sense for many Republicans that the game is all rigged. If a network treated me with absolute disrespect and hysteria, lied about me continually, and attempted to destroy me, I wouldn’t be giving interviews to them after the fact. That’s just insane, and it makes everything going on in Washington seem purely performative. Democrats always hold grudges and play for keeps. Meanwhile, Republicans still run to The Washington Post, ABC News, etc. to get backslaps. It’s unseemly and pathetic.

Now, as to what Barr is actually saying, how mad one gets about it is going to be in the eye of the beholder. There is an audit still going on in Arizona, and if something is found that’s substantial, that could obviously change a lot of opinions. But absent direct evidence of voter fraud to the extent that it flipped the election in the three states that ultimately kept Trump from victory, others are simply going to take Barr’s view of things.

Regardless, there are much better ways to share an opinion than how Barr went about it here.

Isn't Barr Catholic? I guess the Pope can issue him an indulgence for his crimes against his fellow countrymen.

I certainly liked what trump said about putting tariffs on China and fixing NAFTA which he did. And several other things.

My real problem is it does no good if you leave the criminals around and they take it all back over and reverse it.

My big beef with trump is he didn't arrest Hillary like he said. The NAFTA stuff and Chinese tariffs were great bit frankly were normal before Clinton came in in the 1990s.

Agree 100%. I have wrestled with this. IMO if the power structure's corruption is complete then there is no law for the powerful. If there is no law and corruption rules the day then how do you get rid of the criminals? IMO you need to expose them. How do you expose them when the all the various forms of media / communication are corrupt as well? I don't know the answer but the power of the people is is the only way. Look how scared these criminals were on Jan. 6th. Trump wasn't scared but the criminals were. They even built a wall around the Capitol to protect themselves from the rightfully angry masses.

IMO people are more awake today about the corruption in DC then they have ever been. This is thanks to Trump, Q, the patriots and the digital warriors.

My big beef with trump is he didn't arrest Hillary like he said.

She is closely tied to the Deep State Global Cabal as anyone. The DSGC has more power around the world than anyone or any country. She is the perfect example of how the powerful / connected are lawless. Even if she was arrested the case would be dropped by a judge like the one who broke all the laws to keep Flynn locked up and away from any powerful position.
