Barr is paraphrasing Nazi Hermann Göring in the Nuremberg trials:
“The victor will always be the judge, and the vanquished the accused.”
Note that the Attorney General and DOJ hold the power to swing a close election and pick the winner.

Some ask what I meant by DOJ swinging a close election.
Florida 2000: lawyers slowed the count. Neither Gore nor Bush could win the Electoral College. The House by state delegation (12th A) would have chosen Bush.
DOJ can slow the 2020 count.
GOP controls more states in House.

Obviously I'm not saying Barr is a Nazi. Others used a variant of this statement.
But using victory as a defense and validation, instead of justice, is the kind of cultural relativism I thought conservatives deplored, and it is essentially authoritarian.
