Bill Barr #11 - ALSO - people were confusing the use of the federal criminal justice system with allegations that should be made in civil lawsuits. He said such a remedy for those complaints would be a top-down audit conducted by state or local officials, not the DOJ

Bill Barr #12 - Dec 2 - DOJ Issues a Correction: bizpacreview.com/2020/12/02/doj…

Bill Barr #13 - “Some media outlets have incorrectly reported that the Department has concluded its investigation of election fraud and announced an affirmative finding of no fraud in the election. That is not what the AP reported nor what the Attorney General stated.

Bill Barr #14 - "The Department will continue to receive and vigorously pursue all specific and credible allegations of fraud as expeditiously as possible.”

Bill Barr #17 -- Barr said that a) there was spying on campaign; b) people would be held accountable; c) there would be significant developments before the election (there weren't) d) told US Attys to pursue election fraud; then e) claimed didn't find it despite massive evidence

Bill Barr #18 -- which undermined efforts to get past the obstruction and obfuscation of corrupt State officials in 6 key states; f) then claimed he didn't say that and they were still pursuing; g) then resigned, made nice w/ @potus; h) then took out the knife during the hysteria

#19 So I Ask You, Former AG William Barr -- WTAF ?!?! What the hell happened where you folded like a cheap suit - despite all the attacks and vitriol from the left to impeach and undermine you. Or did you play @POTUS all along to protect the Deep State Swamp ! WTAF
