More Than “One Damn Thing,” with Bill Barr

 

 

William P. Barr is one of only two people to have served as attorney general of the United States under two presidents and the only one to have done it in two different centuries (under George H. W. Bush from 1991 to 1993 and under Donald Trump from 2019 to 2020). In his new book, One Damn Thing after Another: Memoirs of an Attorney General, Barr goes into great detail about the chaos, the troubles, and the triumph that occurred during the time of his service under President Trump. This wide-ranging interview covers Russiagate, the COVID outbreak, civil unrest, the impeachment, and the 2020 election fallout. Barr is very candid and forthcoming in his opinions on those events and his thoughts on his former boss.

    DrewInWisconsin, Unapologetic … (View Comment):On this issue (and probably several others)? Yes, duh.

    For one, he actually bothered to look into it. Barr didn’t give a [REDACTED].

    Sure, if by “looking into it,” you mean DeSouza started with a premise and then built a documentary that supported his premise. Because that’s (by his own admission) is exactly what he did.

    I won’t link to the numerous fact checks of 2000 Mules because I know you won’t accept them, so I’ll leave you with Barr’s comments on the documentary (he was asked about it during his testimony to the 1/6 Commission), which he was open-minded enough to watch to see if he missed anything. Spoiler Alert: he doesn’t think much of it, but he does go into detail as to why he thinks it lacks credibility.

     

     

    1977 law school graduate Bill Barr is going to tell us why computerized/wifi/etc voting machine are secure and cellphone location data isn’t credible? That should be good for some laughs.

     

    Here’s what I meant with regards to this comment: I don’t think it matters when someone completed their formal education in terms of learning new things, but to use your silly metric,  care to take a guess what year Trump legal team lead Rudy Guiliani graduated from law school?

    Also, Dinesh graduated from Dartmouth in 1983. So isn’t he too old to “to tell us why computerized/wifi/etc voting machine are secure and cellphone location data isn’t credible?”
