FLOUTS PUBLIC HEALTH IN THE NAME
OF DONALD TRUMP.
THATS A CULT.
ANOTHER EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK
EXCLUSIVE TO US THIS MORNING,
THIS ONE DETAILS FORMER ATTORNEY
GENERAL BILL BARRS REALIZATION
THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP WOULD
PROBABLY LOSE THE 2020 ELECTION,
QUOTE, AS SPRING OF 20 2020 WORE
ON, BARR CAME TO BELIEVE THAT
PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS SQUANDERING
HIS HOPES FOR RE-ELECTION.
IT FELT ALL TOO FAMILIAR.
HE HAD EXPERIENCED THIS SAME
PREMONITION OF AN ELECTION
SLIPPING AWAY WHEN HE HAD BEEN
ATTORNEY GENERAL IN THE FINAL
YEAR OF GEORGE H.W. BUSHS
PRESIDENCY.
BARR SCHEDULED A MEETING WITH
TRUMP IN THE OVAL OFFICE JUST
TWO OF THEM ALONE.
HE WANTED A TRULY PRIVATE
CONVERSATION.
I FEEL YOU ARE GOING TO LOSE THE
ELECTION BARR SAID.
I FEEL YOU ARE ACTUALLY LOSING
TOUCH WITH YOUR OWN BASE.
BARR EXPLAINED THAT IN HIS
TRAVELS AROUND THE COUNTRY HE
TALKED TO A LOT OF PEOPLE IN LAW
ENFORCEMENT AND OTHER SOLID
TRUMP SUPPORTERS WHO WERE
UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THE
PRESIDENTS FOCUS ON SKEWING HIS
CONCEIVED ENEMIES RATHER THAN
PLANS TO NAVIGATE THROUGH THE
PANDEMIC.
>> THE QUOTE GOES ON, THE ONLY
REASON YOU WON THEM LAST TIME
MR. PRESIDENT IS BECAUSE OF THE
GRAB THEM BY THE P COMMENT.
BARR SAID.
IT ACTUALLY SCARED YOU ENOUGH TO
LISTEN TO KELLYANNE, YOU BEHAVED
YOURSELF AND WON BY A HAIR.
THIS TIME ITS DIFFERENT.
YOU CANT WAIT UNTIL THE END.
I FEEL A SENSE OF DEJA VU, I
THINK YOURE GOING TO LOSE THIS
ELECTION.
IF YOU WANTED TO, YOU COULD WALK
INTO A SECOND TERM, COVID AND
ALL.
YOU CAN BE AN AMAZING SECOND
TERM PRESIDENT BUT ITS UP TO
YOU.
THE BOOK REPORTS TRUMP WAS ODDLY
SILENT NOT INTERRUPTING OR
TRYING TO REGAIN THE FLOOR AS HE
USUALLY DID.
HE DID NOT ASK ANY QUESTIONS, HE
DID NOT PUSH BACK.
NOW AS BARRS SPIEL CAME TO AN
END, TRUMP NODDED AND SAID HE
APPRECIATED THE ADVICE.
BARR LEFT HOPEFUL THE PRESIDENT
HAD TAKEN HIS MESSAGE TO HEART
BUT HE COULD NOT BE SURE.
CLAIRE THERE IS UNDOUBTEDLY SOME
REPUTATION LAUNDERING GOING ON
HERE ON THE PART OF FORMER
ATTORNEY GENERAL BILL BARR WITH
THIS BOOK AND OTHER COMMENTS HE
MADE THAT HE WANTED TO GET OUT
THERE HE THOUGHT THE CLAIMS OF
ELECTION FRAUD WERE UNTRUE AND
HE MADE THAT KNOWN AT THE TIME,
BUT WHAT DO YOU MAKE ABOUT THIS
PUSH AND PULL?
THE ONE THING THAT STANDS OUT TO
ME IS YOURE LOSING YOUR BASE,
THATS UNTRUE, DONALD TRUMP
STILL GOT 74 MILLION VOTES IN
THAT ELECTION.
>> HERES WHAT I HAVE TO SAY
ABOUT BILL BARR.
IM GLAD HE TALKED TO THE
AUTHORS OF THIS BOOK.
BUT THIS IS NOT GOING TO WORK
FOR HIM.
HE WAS A HACK ATTORNEY GENERAL.
HE WAS AN ATTORNEY GENERAL THAT
GAVE A SHORT SHIFT TO THE RULE
OF LAW AND TO THE NORMS THAT
THIS COUNTRY EXPECTS WHEN IT
COMES TO CELEBRATION OF POLITICS
AND THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE.
HE DID THIS PRESIDENTS BIDDING
IN UNSPEAKABLE WAYS.
AND IF YOU DONT BELIEVE ME, YOU
ASK THE PROSECUTORS IN THE
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE.
YOU ASK THE PEOPLE WHO WERE
UNDERCUT BY BILL BARR WHEN HE
DID RIDICULOUS THINGS LIKE
TRYING TO UNDO A GUILTY PLEA OF
ONE OF TRUMPS HENCHMEN.
SO I REALLY HAVE LITTLE PATIENCE
FOR BILL BARR.
IF HE WANTS TO DO THE COUNTRY A
FAVOR, HE NEEDS TO COME OUT OF
THE SHADOWS, HE NEEDS TO DO A
FULL-BLOWN INTERVIEW AND TAKE
SOME OF THE QUESTIONS WHY IN THE
WORLD HE WOULD REVERSE A GUILTY
PLEA OF A CRIMINAL AND DO THIS
PRESIDENTS BIDDING.
HE WALKED AWAY AT THE END, IM
SORRY IT DOESNT DO ANY GOOD FOR
ME.
