“My attitude was: It was put-up or shut-up time. If there was evidence of fraud, I had no motive to suppress it. But my suspicion all the way along was that there was nothing there. It was all bullshit.”
— Former Attorney General William Barr, quoted by The Atlantic, on former President Donald Trump’s claims of voter fraud in the 2020 election.
With Barr admitting he thought the ex-president's claims were "bullshit," he also revealed that Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) implored him to get it through to Trump that there was no fraud and that he needed to drop it.
According to the report, McConnell knew that Trump's claims that the election was rigged would impact the Republicans' ability to hang onto Georgia's two Senate seats -- which they subsequently lost.
According to Karl's report, McConnell told Barr, "Look, we need the president in Georgia, and so we cannot be frontally attacking him right now. But you're in a better position to inject some reality into this situation . You are really the only one who can do it."
That is another 'jab' that Trumpanzees wouldn't take.
