Congrats to Bill Barr. He is the runaway winner for revealing himself as totally Deaf, Dumb and Blind. Hell, even Helen Keller could see the widespread fraud that infects this entire Presidential election, but not Billy Barr. After two years of talking a good game, Barr’s masquerade as someone opposed to the criminality of the Deep State is exposed as a venal lie. He himself is a fraud. He is no better than Jim Comey or Eric Holder. In fact, he is worse. Barr pretended to uphold the principles of justice for all and a commitment to the founding tenets of this Republic.
Barr’s comment to the AP–i.e., that the DOJ has not uncovered any evidence of widespread fraud that would change the outcome of the 2020 election–is being widely and wildly celebrated by the thieves responsible for stealing the 2020 Presidential election. They got away with it (so far).
But you know why the DOJ has not uncovered “any evidence of widespread fraud?” Because the DOJ, including the FBI, has refused to look for it or at it. Compare the frenzied response of the FBI charging off to investigate an alleged racist rope used to close a garage door for a black NASCAR driver. They spent a weekend trying to determine if the knot was a noose. It wasn’t.
Look at the lame predication used to open Crossfire Hurricane–an Australian diplomat closely tied to the Clinton Foundation falsely claims that someone loosely tied to the Trump campaign had info about Russian dirty tricks. Turns out that was a lie. The FBI and DOJ went all in, including filing false statements before the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court in a desperate attempt to destroy Donald Trump.
Yet, in the face of a tidal wave of affidavits from hundreds of witnesses and clear evidence that millions of votes magically appeared for Joe Biden, Bill Barr has the audacity to asset there is no “widespread evidence of fraud.” Barr, you’re a goddamn liar.
I commend Joe Hoft’s rant for your reading. He provides a nice summary of several of the key pieces of evidence that normally would incite the interest of even the most incompetent, disinterested U.S. Attorney General. Sadly, Bill Barr has betrayed the Republic.
Here is what an honest Attorney General would have done. When asked about the “fraud” he would note that there are many reports of illegal activity and that they need to be fully investigated. He would also interject that it is too early to concluded whether or not the fraud was consequential with respect to the outcome of the election.
Then he would get off his corpulent ass and insist the FBI do its damn job. But the FBI is now revealed as more crooked and bereft of honor than the Russian mob.
Barr and the DOJ, by going along with this blatant theft are sowing the proverbial whirlwind. It is the final straw in breaking faith with the American people. The American people will no longer trust the DOJ. They have seen clearly that under Barr and his predecessors, the little guys or those with the wrong politics get punished and the big guys walk. You can be the corrupt Clintons and not suffer a thing. Or, you can be a nobody like George Papadopolous and find the full weight of a craven FBI crushing you.
Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe lies repeatedly to the FBI and winds up with a book deal and a gig as a paid talking head on CNN. General Michael Flynn does not lie but, on the advice of compromised counsel, accepts a plea deal and admits to “lying” and faces financial ruin and years in prison.
Bill Barr, and the rest of the Deep State scum, mistake our silence for acquiescence. But patriots who love this country and believe in the founding principles of the Republic, cannot be bought off or bullied into silence. We will fight back. And we will defend the concept that justice should be equitable and fair.
And we will not forget. It is time to start taking names and remembering who stood with Trump and who fought back against the concerted propaganda campaign to convince you that Biden won a fair. We will not continue to pour money into the coffers of fair-weather Republicans.
We will hold our nose one more time and vote for Republicans in the Georgia Senate election, but only to prevent the full collapse of this Republic into a socialist hell hole. But that is the last time the Republicans can expect Trump supporters to have their backs.
You either fix this damn corrupt system or we will abandon you. There comes a time when an abused wife is no longer willing to endure physical and verbal abuse from a drunken lout of a spouse. She acts to save herself and her children even if it includes self-defense. This is not a threat. This is a promise. Our days of tolerating betrayal are over. We stand with President Trump, the duly elected President.
Artemesia - On the Covid stuff - the "Covid emergency" was the reason given and accepted for so many mail-in ballots. That's just fact and implies no discussion on whether that emergency was genuine or necessary.

Seem to remember a frequent contributor to this fine blog singing the praises of Mr Barr.
Always seemed like a swamp blob lifer much like Abrams and Bolton.
Appears his real work was tying up lose ends and running the clock out.
Truly disturbing.

Barbara Ann,
Trump spoke today, about 45 minutes. He's not conceding.

Artemesia,
Yes, numerous elites are aligned (If not in outright collusion with) the actual bad actors involved.
English outsider, those laws are not constitutional. The only "acceptance" was by those supporting the fraud to come.

English Outsider: Yes indeed.
What happens if it can be proven that the US elections were marked by massive fraud; that mail in ballots were a significant part of that fraud; that the unprecedented large number of mail in ballots was motivated by Covid fear; that that fear was deliberately engendered -- a Manufactured Crisis?
Argumentum ad Hitlerum has proliferated in the course of the above frauds and fear-mongering. Allow me to apply another element from that era: Julius Streicher was hanged for his role as a journalist and publisher in inciting hatred.
Media organizations throughout the USA and the world have engaged, almost in lockstep, in a campaign of inducing fear among populations all over the world. They incited terror, deliberately and by lying repeatedly, and their lies brought about economic hardship and many deaths.
Should they be held accountable, as was Julius Streicher?

There is one group on the left which is firmly denouncing the coup. This article on the LaRouche site -
https://larouchepub.com/other/2020/4747-2020_election_an_intelligence_war.html
- explains the mechanics of the fraud, and claims a whistleblower warned the FBI months ago of what was being planned. They gagged him, and sat on the evidence.
Does Larry know anything more about this, please?

You can't get to where Barr is without being a deep stste lacky.

Amen and amen.

Artemesia - quite honestly it looks to me like the biggest ramp in history.
But I would say that, wouldn't I? I had hoped very much that the Trump 2016 programme would be carried through. Maybe spread to my corner of the planet. And I had hoped that the vicious stuff going on in the ME - in which, as you know, my own country played so discreditable a part - would be run down.
So I'm scarcely a neutral outsider. But attempting that role, I've watched a lot of the hearings. I reckon there was plenty enough slop in that electoral system to allow the incompetence scenario to sit alongside the fraud scenario until more evidence comes out.
Which I devoutly hope it will. Reverting to my more partisan self, I believe it's not so much a question of whether there was fraud as of whether the fraud will be uncovered.

I'm not kidding myself about what the outcome is going to be, but...Kunstler: "There is the matter of the Kraken. Perhaps Sidney Powell was not speaking just figuratively about the lurking monster of the deep. The Kraken, apparently, is an actual computer system developed by the Department of Defense (DOD) to ferret out malevolent computer programs as might be deployed in cyber-warfare… or janky elections. Miz Powell has had legal consort all year with General Mike Flynn, the former chief of the Defense Intelligence Agency railroaded on a fake charge by the FBI, now pardoned, free to speak and act. Do you suppose that Gen. Flynn does not know about the agency’s cyber-warfare capabilities? Or that he does not know skilled military technicians who can spell out, say, in a court of law, exactly how the Kraken might be put to use? Or how the Kraken intersects with the two CIA proprietary election hacking programs, Hammer and Scorecard?There is the matter of the Kraken.

OTOH, Barr is now assured of getting a restaurant reservation in DC & NYC.
