Not often there’s anything positive to say about Bill Barr but at least he was on the correct side of the fence on this one…
Axios reported that Barr told Trump bluntly on Dec. 1 that he looked into the claims and determined they were “bullshit.”
The White House meeting occurred after Trump had seen Barr’s comments to the AP on Twitter. What Barr said during the AP interview: “There’s been one assertion that would be systemic fraud and that would be the claim that machines were programmed essentially to skew the election results. And the DHS and DOJ have looked into that, and so far, we haven’t seen anything to substantiate that.”
This angered Jenna Ellis and Rudy Giuliani. It angered the president, too. Trump reportedly referred to himself in the third person when accusing Barr of being a Trump hater.
“Why would you say such a thing? You must hate Trump. There’s no other reason for it. You must hate Trump,” said Trump, according to Axios.
Barr is said to have responded by basically saying decease the “Kraken.”
