I recently posted, The testimony of Barr would prove criminal intent.

[fightforfreedom]

His testimony was better than I hoped. It was damming. Trump and his inner circle knew the election was not stolen. They have no defense, they are guilty. Game over people.

Trump and his inner circle better call their lawyers and make plea deals. They are going to be indicted.

When Barr and others told Trump and people in his inner circle the election was not stolen, that should stopped them in their tracks. It didn't, which proves they are out of their minds. It's like they were told they were driving towards a cliff and they hit the gas.

1. Last night's testimony alone is enough

for him to die in a dungeon

[mnmoderatedem]

2. not just Barr

Jason Miller, Ivanka, trump campaign lawyers, Mark Meadows, and others.

But Barr's testimony would carry the most weight. He was only the freaking Attorney General fer crissake.

4. He was just another fixer "hired" by tRump. Barr is just saving his own fat ass.

[fightforfreedom]

6. Barr saved his ass by not going along with the coup.

Barr is an asshole, but he is not stupid or nuts like Trump.

7. That's one of the things that stuck with me from last night

The sheer volume of people who told him the truth about his loss, told him what he was doing is illegal, and either jumped ship or threatened to jump ship because of his actions.

People have previously argued that if the orange motherfucker really is delusional and really thought he won, how can you prove he had criminal intent. That's all shot to hell now in the face of so much evidence of so many people telling him every which way that he lost, there's no plausible deniability now. The defense that he's delusional and proceeded based on delusions holds no weight now.

8. Yes, but since when did Chump ever listen to ANYONE?

Never. He never listens to anyone unless they're telling him what he wants to hear.
He refused to listen to Bill Barr, and Barr had no choice but to resign.
That's what saved his sorry ass.

[Novara]

10. So you think he still has plausible deniability?

Just so we're clear.

[FakeNoose]

13. I never thought that

Chump always intended to steal the presidency from Biden. He knew that he was going to lose as soon as Biden became the Dem candidate. And the polls - the honest ones - told Chump exactly that, he was going to lose.

[fightforfreedom]

12. Exactly.

[NanceGreggs]

3. "... and they hit the gas."

Exactly.

[bucolic_frolic]

5. I think that's correct and will move forward

I still don't know how we reach the 1/3 of Americans who are die hard MAGA full-on ideology.

[Novara]

11. We never will reach them

They're part of the cult. They are irredeemable. Better to work on people who have some rationality left.

[FakeNoose]

9. Yes ... game over

I have Bill Barr's book and I plan to read it as soon as I finish "This Will Not Pass."

All these great books have come out in the last 6 months or so, it's really hard to keep up. If I didn't spend so much time on DU, I'd have more time to read these books.

14. Barr's OPINION as AG mattered little to Trump.

Flynn & Guiliani et al were giving him a different OPINION that he liked, so he went with that.

Trump never "knows" anything; he feels. Facts are irrelevant. Only his ego exists.
