Bill Barr Testifying to the January 6 Committee
Taken from: “Bill Barr Struck With Amnesia About His Work To Spread Big Lie” | Crooks and Liars, Susie Madrak
Me: If you are listening to the Hearings, you have been hearing Bill Barr testifying of his warnings to trump of his actions. If you have been reading what Barr has been saying in the past, it sure did not appear to be warnings. Indeed, it was more along the lines of Dems being wrong.
Definitely “Two Faces,” have been on display by former trump Attorney General Bill Barr. One in support of trump’s failure at overthrowing the government and another for the January 6th Committee claiming he was warning trump and Republicans not to do it many times over. Barr is attempting to wipe the slate clean of previous comments.
The two-faced former attorney general would have us believe he was a concerned bystander to Trump’s coordination of the effort to overthrow the election. A legal authority distancing himself from trump, Republicans, their actions, and also telling Republicans and trump there was no election fraud. Barr is distancing himself from January 6. I am confident there may be another story about Barr helping plan a takeover. Guess we will have to wait and see.
Susie Madrak: I don’t know how he kept a straight face during his (Bill Barr) testimony or play-acting to the Jan. 6th select committee. Was he under oath?
Some snippets from Bill Barr’s past.
Here’s Barr in June 2020 saying that mail-in voting “opens the floodgates of fraud,” even though there is no credible evidence of substantial mail-in voter fraud. Barr voted by mail himself in 2012 & 2019. https://t.co/iDkwHIaKfI

In July Barr attacked mail-in voting again, this time saying that foreign governments would themselves mail-in phony ballots. Again, mail-in voting has been used for decades w/o evidence or suggestion of this concern. https://t.co/O9EyP2aZky

Remember when Barr was asked directly in a televised interview about whether U.S. intelligence reports pointed to election interference by China or Russia? And he said ”China.” An assertion vehemently contradicted by others who saw the classified reports? https://t.co/mnlhTxSili

The point is that Bill Barr encourages misinformation about absentee ballots as inherently vulnerable to fraud, undergirding Trump’s attempted diversion from Russia by appearing to support the claim China was attempting to influence the election for Biden.

Worse, Barr now tells us that he knew the President, with 8 weeks left in office, was volatile and “detached from reality,” and his response was to resign and then publish a book about it a year later. This is not a heroic legacy.

Let me just end this with the text of Barr’s 12/14 resignation letter in which he describes how proud he is of having served with Trump & lauds Trump for “advancing the rule of law.” Is this the resignation letter you send to someone you think is unhinged? https://t.co/tZhbRoRlve

Clearly, Bill Barr was seeing which way the wind is now blowing. And like the ethical windsock that he is, he’s going with it.
Bill Barr is a liar. In other news, dog bites man, water is wet, the sun rose in the east and the pope is Catholic.
You know what really disappoints me about these people? Many of them went to the best schools in the world and excelled which means they are very, very intelligent. Yet here they are in positions of power lying through their teeth without an ounce of shame or regret. If this is what our best and brightest become after enticed with power then even the best intentions our founders had to avoid these types of people are an exercise in futility. Really folks, these people are outright liars and they get away with it.

there is nothing in the Scholastic Aptitude Test that measures honesty or depth of thought.
Admission to Harvard is based on a demonstrated willingness to sacrifice your childhood to your ambition, or your parent’s. Harvard graduates get away with publishing “brilliant” but superficial papers, usually in the sevice of someone’s financial interest.
This does not mean there are no people intelligent enough and honest enough to run the country for the common good. They tend howver to not be interested in becoming a poitician, that is someone who lies for a living and begs for money to keep doing it.
One of the measures of Roosevelt’s genius was that he found competent people to work on his programs, and run his war. I believe he was a Harvard graduate. That shows that competence can survive a Harvard education, but don’t count on it. Note “Harvard” here stands for high-end higher education in general.
Well, I do believe that getting into any Ivy League school does show a high degree of intelligence but as you stated, personal integrity may not be part of the deal.

it’s intelligence of a kind.
Woolley:
Yes I know. I do not believe they are the best and the brightest. I would say the sneakiest and most crooked in their business dealings. They have no fear of being caught either.
How have you been Woolley.
Barr has been a whacko since his days with Bush 1. That the media played him up as some kind of a man of reason and integrity was just more of the inside the beltway club bs.
Records show since a teenager.
He has been a blight on democracy since he got out of high school.
