In his testimony to the January 6th Committee in June 2022, former Attorney General Bill Barr characterized defeated, former President Donald Trump's claims that the 2020 election was stolen as, among other things, "bullshit", "completely bullshit", "absolute rubbish", "complete nonsense" and "a great, great disservice to the country." .
In August 2023, Barr characterized the charges brought against Trump for the events of January 6th as "a legitimate case."
So naturally Barr, like any "good Republican" has endorsed Trump:
I’ve said all along, given two bad choices, 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. Trump may be playing Russian roulette, but a continuation of the Biden administration is national suicide in my opinion.
Last I checked Russian roulette was an act of suicide. In Trump's case, he has the gun pointed at America's head. How is this not an act of national suicide? How is this less harmful conduct than that of President Biden?
Barr testified under oath that Trump's election lies are a great, great disservice to the country.
What greater disservices to the country has President Biden committed?
Barr also acknowledges the January 6th case against Trump is legitimate. Presumably Barr believes Trump ought to be convicted of the charges against him. So why does Barr prefer to have convicted Trump in the White House than a clean Biden? Is it simply because Biden has a D next to his name? If not, what sin has Biden committed that are greater than Trump's crimes?
Whatever the answer, by endorsing Trump, Bill Barr has once again done a great, great disservice to the country. Barr deserves the insults Trump hurled at him following his endorsement. After all, he has lowered the Barr.
