Bill Barr Is Demonic And Lies To Us Repeatedly As He Threatens Democracy

This is an unusual post for Smart Dissent.  It's simply a list of the horrifically dangerous lies being told by the head of OUR Department of Justice head Bill Barr.

Let's begin:

1) In early September 2020, Bill Barr confidently, even pugnaciously, told CNN viewers about a massive mail-in ballots fraud incident in Texas that never happened.

Barr claims a man collected 1,700 ballots and filled them out as he pleased. Prosecutors say that’s not what happened.

 

2) In July, Barr said a surge of federal agents sent to Kansas City had made 200 arrests in two weeks, which was false.

3) In June, he told us that the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, Geoffrey Berman, had resigned, which was false.

4) In April, he told Fox News that an inspector general Trump had fired, Michael Atkinson, tried to send the Ukraine whistleblower complaint to Congress without executive branch review and ignored DOJ, which was false.

 

5) Further back, there was his description to the public of the then-still secret Mueller investigation report, which a federal judge said was so “distorted” and “misleading” that the judiciary could not trust his DOJ to be candid on that topic.

 

One day these incidents could be part of the history books on how close the U.S. came to full authoritarianism. If we go full dictatorship they will not be in history books. The history books will be filled with glorious stories of dear leader.  We must stop Trump to stop Barr.
