Barr rebukes Trump’s baseless election fraud claims

Two days before he leaves the Justice Department, Attorney General William Barr offered his sharpest rebuke to date of President Donald Trump's baseless allegations surrounding the election result, rejecting Trump's efforts to act on the conspiracy theories the President has embraced to explain his loss to President-elect Joe Biden.
Barr rejected the call for a special counsel to investigate claims of election fraud, while adding he saw "no basis" for the federal government to seize voting machines, a legally dubious step some of Trump's allies have proposed in recent days.

  1. Such a big baby, first time in his life he can’t by his way for a another win..The only way he won in first place was to cheat, trying hard to cheat another win.

    1. @Finland Journey you’re in a cult. Trump is a liar beyond all liars. And he depends on people like YOU to believe his lies. I don’t need cnn or any other news outlet to tell me he’s lying. EVERY SINGLE DAY he proves it for himself.

    2. @Finland Journey I’ve come across many comments in disbelief that Biden won in spite of his low campaign numbers. What I don’t get is why is it so hard to understand that rallies would necessarily have to be scaled back in light of COVID concerns? Trump continued with massive in-person rallies flouting health experts’ advice and putting people’s lives in danger. The different campaign strategies reflect the candidates’ concern for the public.

      Furthermore, your ad hominem attacks against Biden just highlights the weakness of your arguments.

    3. @Ms. Byrd Well, you mentioned his name and listed his vote percentage without specifying which election he got that number in.

  2. Why are we still listening to this man ?!!
    When my uncle billy kept shouting he invented lighting , we put him in a home.

    1. @BioGoji 1989 Reunited and it feels so good…reunited coz we understood! Their one perfect kiss and sugar this one is it! They’re both are so excited coz their reunited hey hey!

    1. @BradLee Jones YouTube is not banning anything. I get all of the OAN and NTD and NewsMax on my feed because I’ve been searching for this so called evidence. When they say they’re being banned I bet they also tell you to visit their website, the old ” my channel is banned quick visit my website” trick, you fall for that still? I watched the hearings Guliani put together in motel ball rooms to spread his propaganda. All the evidence that has been presented has been debunked. In AZ Trump lawyers said they were not alleging fraud or that the election was stolen. Trumps lawyers also threw out some of their own affidavits and told the judge they were taken out because they are not credible or just false statements. He even called them spam to describe them. This is what Trump lawyers are saying in court and that is why he has not won a case. What his supporters and lawyers say in public and what he tweets is not what they say in court in front of a judge. When will you realize it’s all propaganda?

    1. @Dudley Burleson You are here just to keep Trumps money train on track. I know you don’t actually believe Russia is innocent. Here is a document for everyone that is still on Trumps band wagon that does believe Russia is as pure as the falling snow. It reads like Russia, Russia, Russia. It was Russia. Get with the times. A Bi Partisan Senate Intel Committee put it out August of this year.

    1. @M Hall … I gave Trump a chance with my entire family for his first 3 years and we are still conservative republicans but not for Trump. We all voted for him and stood with him until exactly 11 months ago. We are what you may call RINOS as we support the only trustworthy GOP Republican Senator Mitt Romney who stood with the Democrats on Trump’s Impeachment while standing with medical science when Trump never once did downplaying it with lies. We stand by the former Governor of Massachusetts who was standing with Democrats on Trump’s Impeachment and suggested to Congress to charge Trump with Treason in which is steadily aiming if things kick off that Trump should be. We stand with the current Governor of Massachusetts Charlie Baker who was against Trump for chosing another supreme Court judge this close to the election while disrespecting our honorable judges death to her family by having talks about replacing her two hours after her death and before her body can be taken from the hospital cooler to prepare for her funeral.

      He disrespected her family and those who loved her world wide with the two week grieving period. He disrespected our founding fathers in regards to our famous 16th. Republican president of the United States, Abraham Lincoln who was faced with the exact decision after a Supreme Court judge died right prior to his second term and respectfully presented the Citizens of the country to pick amongst their peers and for him not too. We support the Lincoln Project regarding spreading the truth about Trump. So call me a RINO if you wish but my entire family turned against Trump 11 months ago but we were all big supporters of his untill then.

    2. @Thyalwaysseek I’m sorry. I’m not a therapist! I cannot help you with your anger and negativity! oh! something that I hear here and there from professionals is this ” Let it go! I see what i see, and I cannot make you see life and people the way I see it!

    1. @Finland Journey Try the Bank of Germany for Trump. He has loans for millions that he can’t honor as well as China.

    2. @Ex EaglesbandwagonTrump’s SIL is filthy. He’s been setting up shells for faux companie for him and daddy in law. His kids are grifters like theur father.

    3. Oh! I haven’t forgotten and hope that Arnold Schwarzenegger calls him and tells him he’s fiyad! Get to the Choppa!!!! lol 😂

  3. They need to disbar Sidney Powell. When you deliberately file a false claim to the court that will get you disbarred

    1. @Gary Rumain Do you have a problem with America’s laws and our Constitution? Sounds like you should move to Russia. You’d feel more at home with their repressive laws.

    1. @BradLee Jones OPPOSING OPINIONS? EXACTLY OPINIONS DONT COUNT ONLY FACTS , AND THE FACT IS YOU DONT KNOW WHAT COMMUNISM IS .AND THE FACT IS THAT YOYR DEAR LEADER TRUMP WEARS DIAPERS.

    2. @BradLee Jones Stifling everyone else? Or you have no news agencies that are willing to go along with your election fantasies?

    3. solomon Egebe Or maybe he realizes Trump is out of control and wants to do what is needed to maintain the integrity of our democracy???

      I wont insult you bc that’s counterproductive. But friend, Trump doesn’t have our best interest in mind. Any person of character would spare his country the embarrassment and loss of credibility for his own benefit.

    1. @L P I am very sorry that you are oppressed, powerless, marginalized, disenfranchised, persecuted, invalidated, subjugated, discriminated against and disadvantaged by the system, structure and institution of racism as originated and perpetuated by White supremacy, superiority and privilege, which prevents you from living a fulfilling and joyful life. I became aware of these atrocities by studying Critical Race Theory and the teachings of Oprah, Michael Eric Dyson, Cornell West, Al Sharpton, Yamiche Alcindor, Areva Martin, Malcom X and many other brilliant, wise, caring and compassionate Progressive/Leftist/Socialist/Anarchist thought leaders and activists. We Progressive/Leftist/Socialist/Anarchists want to offer you a helping hand. Without our kindness, empathy and compassion you’re incapable of rising above your deplorable conditions.

    2. @SNOOPY SNOOP COLEMAN #1 … Exactly, you and I think alike all the way through. I was also thinking all this time about his Supporters are being stupid thinking they are donating to his fake defense fund when he knows he lost and can not do anything yet still encouraging them to donate. If they just think where his primary bank is being overseas where he is getting loans from, they would see the main contributers are from Russia but some are from China also. Look where the Trump family achieved all their parents all while Trump tried controlling their country after and failed. He owes Putin to much while backstabbing America in Putin’s defense. I am sure the professional International hitman that Russia has always had such as the most recent hits over in the UK the recent years in which Russia taken credit for would be after Trump if things for Putin is not fulfilled. I have no question in my mind that Putin is planning a massive world war as they already had fighter planes crossing over through entry points through Alaska, Florida and Virgina towards the whitehouse in so called training missions and avoided immediant detection before our planes got in the air.

      Trump cancelled the Paris agreement that America’s government specialized planes were being used to collect data for our European allies to protect them from a Russian attack and Trump had these two planes dismantled and destroyed that belonged to the country provided by tax payers and not his to destroy. I believe the world is in a lot of trouble period then it brings to question this major government hacks that has been going on. Trump known International hitman can take him out if he crossed them and they are known to do so over major depts. China is as well but on a smaller scale. Trump will not have hundreds of secret service and a big bunker next month. Depending on his activities regarding if it’s indoors or outdoors, he is assigned one up to two secret service agents for a 10 year period and he is always in the open also. His security is a joke for anyone that would want him and he knows it.

    3. @Pretty Good Lookin
      .. if it was not fair how come the states in which the majority of trump supporters won those states was fair even with many being democrat elected officials? Was it fair there or should we have re counts there as well?

    1. Just so you know. The next act is waiting in the wings! Same thing only different. Unless it gets derailed, we can only hope…….

    2. China must have denied him a trump tower or a trademark deal because he has been trying to pin everything on them and we know trump loves revenge

  4. “So often, the president would say here’s what I want to do and here’s how I want to do it and I would have to say to him, ‘Mr. President I understand what you want to do but you can’t do it that way. It violates the law.”
    – Former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson

    1. @Iichthus actually, i5s more like when Flynn porked the goat, Bannon helped him clean up, Ivanka stole China, and trump actual cares.

    2. @Iichthus 8 years of Obama and nothing on this proportion occurred.

      8 years of Mitch McConnell and the Senate blocking his legislation.

      4 years of Trump and America as we knew it almost headed towards fascism and a dictatorship.

  5. The waters that trump is treading in are so treacherous that even Barr is unwilling to follow him…..now let that sink in tho….

    1. @janeen harris I been saying da same thing for months now. This isn’t gonna end well. Trump hasn’t even mentioned the pandemic since the election. Nor is he allowing ppl that will do something to do so. We all shud be worried.

    2. You obviously don’t understand that Barr is just another career politician / snake who is going along with the sabotage of America and rise of the new world order agenda, which I assume that you’re unaware of

    3. @Aldo Martinez I’m totally aware of that. But I guess u didn’t catch what my post meant. “Even BARR is unwilling” speaks volumes.

  6. So he’s telling us what we already knew and he’s only doing this to look for sympathy from the people.
    NO SYMPATHY FOR YOU BARR!

    1. @Mark Lefebvre , Real “ obstruction of justice” is CNN constant distortions & deliberate failure to report crooked China 💰gained by Joe & Hunter.

  7. Is anyone really surprised that Trump is forcing himself on America, after she said no?
    Bruuaahh!!
    #TrumpIsTheSwamp

    1. @Squashed8Ball Exactly so. From the moment Trump called media “enemy of the people” it was clear where this is heading.

    2. @Sam McCormack and your pockets are empty because you support this nonsense. He is just milking you and his supporters for money and laughing all the way to the bank.
