Barr told Trump that theories about stolen election were 'bulls---': report
By Jesse Byrnes - 01/18/21 07:56 AM EST

Former Attorney General William Barr reportedly pushed back strongly on President Trump when discussing claims the president was circulating about the election being "stolen" from him.

Barr, during a meeting with Trump at the White House in early December, told the president that such theories of a stolen election were "bullshit," Axios reported Monday.

Other aides in the room including White House Counsel Pat Cipollone were reportedly surprised that the attorney general had made the comment, though did not disagree with his remarks.


The meeting came as Barr had publicly undercut the president's baseless allegations of widespread voter fraud, telling The Associated Press that the Justice Department had not uncovered evidence to back up the claims.

"To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have affected a different outcome in the election," Barr had told the AP in the interview.

All I need to know and remember about AG Barr, is there is a representative in Michaigan (Tlaib) who basically flaunted her campaign money laundering, and numb nuts Barr didn't lift a finger.   My last word on this worthless piece of goo.

So democrats didn't remove fraud safeguards such as signature matching almost everywhere they could manage, those key states didn't unconstitutionally change their own election laws, there was absolutely no foul play regarding the massive mail in balloting with selectively placed drop boxes & such, GOP observers weren't kicked out of counting rooms, etc etc it was all an illusion.

That's because they are bullsh*t. Trump should have listened to Barr instead of the shyster lawyers Powell, Wood, and (unfortunately) Giuliani.
