Bill Barr Refused to Lie that He Did Nothing Illegal Re:Ukraine"},"content":{"rendered":"

The spectacle of watching the President of the United States whine like a petulant child<\/a><\/strong> never gets any easier to bear. Yet this is what the American people are being forced to contend with on a daily basis. Donald Trump spends much of his day tweeting about how victimized he is by those meanies in the press and even his own administration. This is the person who occupies what is commonly called the most powerful office in the world. But he can’t stop griping like a toddler who wants to stay up past his bedtime.<\/p>\n

It’s usually pretty easy to determine what is most offending Trump by the frequency of his exasperated tweets. And on Thursday morning the irritation that chafed the paper-thin skin of the President was typical of his snowflakey sensitivities. He fired of a multi-tweet tirade aimed at a frequent foe: the Washington Post. They published an article<\/a><\/strong> that revealed that Trump had asked his Attorney Genuflect, Bill Barr, to hold a press conference and announce that Trump had done nothing illegal in his dealings with Ukrainian President Zelensky. Trump’s tweetery groused plaintively that…<\/p>\n

“Years ago<\/a>, when Media was legitimate, people known as ‘Fact Checkers’ would always call to check and see if a story was accurate. Nowadays they don\u2019t use ‘Fact Checkers’ anymore, they just write whatever they want!”<\/strong>
\n[Just because fact-checkers find that you’re lying doesn’t mean they don’t exist]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“The story<\/a> in the Amazon Washington Post, of course picked up by Fake News CNN, saying ‘President Trump asked for AG Barr to host a news conference clearing him on Ukraine,’ is totally untrue and just another FAKE NEWS story with anonymous sources that don\u2019t exist….”<\/strong>
\n[Just because you don’t like what they say doesn’t mean sources don’t exist either]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

….The LameStream Media<\/a>, which is The Enemy of the People, is working overtime with made up stories in order to drive dissension and distrust!<\/strong>
\n[Just because Stalin used to decry the media as “the enemy of the people” doesn’t mean Trump is a fascist – oh, wait…]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Bill Barr did not decline<\/a> my request to talk about Ukraine. The story was a Fake Washington Post con job with an ‘anonymous’ source that doesn\u2019t exist. Just read the Transcript. The Justice Department already ruled that the call was good. We don\u2019t have freedom of the press!<\/strong>
\n[Just because the “transcript”<\/em> affirmed your guilt doesn’t mean you can continue to lie about the Justice Department ruling that your call was “good.”<\/em> They didn’t. And WaPo is exercising freedom of the press. You are threatening it]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The degenerate Washington Post<\/a> MADE UP the story about me asking Bill Barr to hold a news conference. Never happened, and there were no sources!<\/strong>
\n[Just because you are a well-documented degenerate doesn’t mean everyone else is]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Amazon Washington Post<\/a> and three lowlife reporters, Matt Zapotosky, Josh Dawsey, and Carol Leonnig, wrote another Fake News story, without any sources (pure fiction), about Bill Barr & myself. We both deny this story, which they knew before they wrote it. A garbage newspaper!<\/strong>
\n[Just because you have been a low life grifter and charlatan your whole life doesn’t mean you can malign respected journalists you don’t even know]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course, Trump’s documented extortion of Zelensky has been confirmed by the testimony of several witnesses, including Trump himself, who admitted on national television<\/a><\/strong> that he asked Zelensky to dig up dirt on Joe Biden. So what could have rattled Trump so much that he unleashed this tweetstorm attacking the Washington Post over an issue that goes back several weeks?<\/p>\n

WaPo’s story touches several nerves that are famously tender for Trump. He is triggered by anything brushing up against him in these areas. Consequently, his fear impulse goes off because…<\/p>\n

    \n
  • …he can’t allow any allegation of his guilt to persist.<\/li>\n
  • …he can’t let stand the assertion that Barr refused a direct order to defend him.<\/li>\n
  • …he must crush any impression that he isn’t the master of everything and everyone around him.<\/li>\n
  • …by attacking the story he can imply that Barr actually did declare that he’s innocent.<\/li>\n
  • …to him, Barr’s refusal would be the same as a conviction.<\/li>\n
  • …any suggestion of his guilt gnaws at him like a flesh-eating virus.<\/li>\n
  • …everyone in the Trump regime must have the same criminal intent – and exposure to legal jeopardy – as he does.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    However, Trump’s obsession is absurdly misplaced. He really has nothing to gain by pretending that his request of Barr didn’t occur. As for Barr, by complying he would have only cemented his reputation as a bootlicking Trump-fluffer. After all, no one outside of Trump’s cadre of Deplorables would have believed him anyway. Barr is just another of Trump’s sycophantic minions who the world recognizes as wholly biased and untrustworthy.<\/p>\n

    Take for example, Sen. Lindsey Graham (video below)<\/em>, whose latest glassy-eyed defense of Trump has devolved into the claim that Trump couldn’t have engaged in an illegal quid pro quo because he’s too incompetent. And therefore Graham commits to remaining ignorant by refusing to read the transcripts of testimony. WOW! With friends like these, who needs enemas?<\/p>\n
