You’ll remember that a lot of people who were portrayed as the embodiment of evil by the media for working for Donald Trump were portrayed as paragons of morality when they quit or were fired.
Some examples:
- Michael Cohen
- John Bolton
- H. R. McMaster
- John Kelly
- Nimrata Randhawa
- Dina Powell
- Alexander Vindman
- Anthony Scaramucci
- Gary Cohn
- Peter Navarro
- Omarosa
- Chris Christie
- James Mattis
Some of those were more villainized than others, but they were all portrayed as agents of evil under Trump and all portrayed as forces of good when they were no longer employed by the president.
Basically, they always wanted everyone serving Trump to know that they could quit at any time (or do something to undermine Trump that results in being fired), denounce him, and become a hero. This is a big part of why there was such a high turnover.
I am just going to tell you this: William Barr is the first member of the Trump administration I’ve ever witnessed the hard Jewish press portray as good while still working for Trump.
The Fox News host Lou Dobbs was among the first Trump supporters to denounce William Barr. On Tuesday, Dobbs began his nightly program by announcing “progress” in Donald Trump’s effort to remain in office and to vanquish “the insidious, radical Dems, corporate America, Big Tech, and the deep state, who have tried to overthrow his Presidency for more than four years.” Dobbs paused, briefly, and then lambasted Barr for having told the Associated Press earlier in the day that the Justice Department had found no evidence to corroborate Trump’s claims of election theft. “Today, a member of his own Cabinet appeared to join in with the radical Dems, and the deep state, and the resistance,” Dobbs said. “For the Attorney General of the United States to make that statement, he is either a liar or a fool or both. He may be, um, perhaps, compromised. He may be simply unprincipled. Or he may be personally distraught or ill.”
Barr’s actions during his tenure as Attorney General may be up for debate, but he is not compromised, distraught, or ill. Nor is he a member of a deep-state coup. There is no deep-state coup. As state and local Republican officials in six battleground states and nearly fifty judges have found, Joe Biden decisively won the 2020 election. Barr’s refutation of Trump’s false claims came late, but, nevertheless, it deserves praise. At long last, the country’s chief law-enforcement officer has defended American democracy. And that, in the waning days of the Trump Presidency, could cost him his job.
Rudy Giuliani and Jenna Ellis, the lawyers for the Trump campaign, immediately issued a statement accusing Barr of failing to seriously examine the President’s claims: “With all due respect to the Attorney General, there hasn’t been any semblance of a Department of Justice investigation.” Online, Barr was vilified. Joe Hoft, at the Gateway Pundit, wrote that Barr had destroyed “his name for all eternity” and claimed that he has spent his time in office working surreptitiously to keep Hillary Clinton, James Comey, and Robert Mueller out of jail. “Now we know why the DOJ didn’t arrest anyone for the past four years,” Hoft wrote. “The reason is they wanted it this way. . . . They never were going to arrest anyone.” On pro-Trump Reddit channels, Barr was declared a “deep state” agent. The President was reportedly livid at Barr. Asked at a White House event on Thursday if he still has confidence in Barr, Trump replied, “ask me that in a number of weeks from now.”
What actually motivated Barr is unknown at this point, and nothing is likely to become clearer until after Trump leaves office, on January 20th.
(We don’t know what motivated him but we know it wasn’t part of a deep state plot because government bureaucrats are good people and would never do something like that.)
This week, an associate of the Attorney General’s told me that Barr and Trump have barely spoken for weeks.
…
The week’s events exemplified the tragic, destructive, and cynical nature of the Trump-era Justice Department. Barr has clear legal and political convictions—many of which infuriate liberals—but he has pursued them consistently throughout his career. Like other Republicans, he seemingly embraced an alliance of convenience with Trump. An adherent to the obscure legal view that the Presidency has too little power, Barr contends that special-counsel and congressional investigations have become so excessive that they hamper a President’s ability to govern the country.
CNN has also been lumping praise on the lump Barr.
The New York Times didn’t praise him to this extent, but they did a completely neutral story on the reports that he plans to resign before January 20.
I found one line particularly notable:
One of the people insisted that Mr. Barr had been weighing his departure since before last week and that Mr. Trump had not affected the attorney general’s thinking. Another said Mr. Barr had concluded that he had completed the work that he set out to accomplish at the Justice Department.
So cute.
He’s completed what he sought out to accomplish.
Jewish insider humor is just so darn cute, it’d make a Beanie Baby jealous.
It’s not surprising that Barr is getting a special saint treatment while still serving the devil: he is the single most important figure in Donald Trump’s downfall. The extent to which this man contributed to this contested election situation is simply astonishing.
As I said Sunday, William Barr is responsible for:
- Covering up the Epstein scandal (would have implicated major Democrats, including the Clintons)
- Covering up the “Crossfire Hurricane” Russiagate spying scandal (would have ended with Obama, Comey and Rosenstein all going to prison for attempting to undermine democracy)
- Refusing to stop the coronavirus lockdown
- Refusing to stop Black Lives Matter and Antifa rioting
- Allowing Google, Twitter and Facebook to openly manipulate voters for the purpose of changing the outcome of the election
- Allowing Google, Twitter and Facebook to violate anti-trust laws
- Allowing Google, Twitter and Facebook to violate the First Amendment
- Refusing to investigate massive mail-in election fraud in Minnesota (would have discredited the entire concept of the 2020 presidential election)
He is an invincible sedition machine.
He’s a one man monster truck rally of Anti-American doom.
Fox News host Judge Jeanine is finally attacking him, after praising him as a hero like every other Fox News host, after he said that Trump lost the election.
But being the first sitting cabinet member to falsely claim Trump lost is simply the rotted cherry on the top of a cake of pure evil.
It breaks my heart to think that I’ve been trying to warn people about this guy for a year and now they’re all seeing what I was saying after it is too late.
I have to wonder what would have happened if I had had the reach in 2020 that I had in 2017, before I was censored. Frankly, I don’t even think the coronavirus hoax would have been possible if I’d been able to meme against that like I meme’d for Donald Trump in 2016.
