I think what pisses Barr off most is that the Pig failed, not that it was wrong to try.

I mean, it's not like trying to overthrow a legally elected government is a crime.

He knew a lot and just walked away from it. He did nothing. And he was the Attorney General.

Wait Im getting an update ..apparently it absolutely is a crime. Huh. Seems like someone who worked as an Attorney General should be aware of that.

(7,849 posts)8. Bill Barr..months before the election he was everywhere questioning
the validity of mail-in ballots...and after the election, after he told Trump no election fraud, he still instructed US Attorney in Georgia to look into Rudy Giuliani's wild claims and make it a priority..I suspect once Barr deduced the "sweep" would fail, he was ready to go...
