In an OpEd printed in the Wallstreet Journal from President Trump, the forty-fifth President pointed to several 2020 Election issues in the state of Pennsylvania that a previous WSJ editorial chose to ignore, among them was an interesting tidbit regarding the interactions between Former United States Attorney Bill McSwain and then Attorney-General Bill Barr. A piece of information initially released back in July in the form of a letter from McSwain to Trump regarding his Gubernatorial ambitions that when taken alongside other information that has come to light since 2020 causes many to ask: Was AG Barr in On it the Whole Time?
In his July letter to President Trump, McSwain wrote,
“On Election Day and afterwards, our Office received various allegations of voter fraud and election irregularities. As part of my responsibilities as U.S. Attorney, I wanted to be transparent with the public and, of course, investigate fully any allegations. Attorney General Barr, however, instructed me not to make any public statements or put out any press releases regarding possible election irregularities. I was also given a directive to pass along serious allegations to the State Attorney General for investigation – the same State Attorney General who had already declared that you could not win.”
President Trump responded to the letter quickly in a statement saying, “U.S. Attorney from the Eastern District of Pennsylvania was precluded from investigating election fraud allegations. Outrageous!”
Former AG Barr has refuted the claim in multiple outlets, most notably in The Philadelphia Inquirer where he claimed “that he ordered McSwain not to investigate allegations of election fraud. Rather, the order came from a top deputy to Barr and instructed McSwain to share information with Shapiro’s office, not “stand-down” from investigating,”
He continued to state that McSwain “told me that he had to do this because he was under pressure from Trump and for him to have a viable candidacy he couldn’t have Trump attacking him,” Barr said. So McSwain “tried to thread the needle” by saying “things that were technically true” without giving “support to Trump’s stolen election narrative,” Barr said.
The Latest In Long Story Of Betrayal From Barr
For most AmericaFirst Republicans AG Barr picked his side long before the end of the Trump administration. Almost immediately after the election, Barr sought to actively distance himself from everyone raising the alarm regarding the fatally corrupted 2020 election count. In April, Patriot United News shone a light on The Washington Post’s seemingly inadvertent reveal of AG Barr’s sabotage of Kash Patel. Patel was pushing “for greater releases of information from the United States Intelligence Community to give the American people unprecedented transparency into the malicious sabotage of the Trump Presidency by the deep state. ” alongside National Intelligence Director Daniel Ratcliff.
“I think there were people within the IC [Intelligence Community], at the heads of certain intelligence agencies, who did not want their tradecraft called out, even though it was during a former administration, because it doesn’t look good on the agency itself,” Patel said in the RealClearInvestigations interview.
We learned that the one man who had the final word against Patel, Ratcliffe and even President Trump was… you guessed it: Attorney General William Barr.
“(Gen. Paul )Nakasone (head of Cyber Command and the NSA) strongly dissented, and (Defense Secretary Mark) Esper backed him up in an October letter to Ratcliffe “urging that the information not be released due to the harm it would do to national security, including specific harm to the military,” a senior defense official said. Haspel, too, strongly opposed release of the information. Their argument for protecting sensitive information was finally supported by Attorney General William P. Barr, and Trump backed away, a source close to the events said.”
As the Gateway Pundit reported back in December, Bill Barr claimed: “that he had not seen evidence of widespread voter fraud that would change the outcome of the 2020 election.”
Barr later went on to say he believed Trump’s major claims of election fraud were “all bulls***,” according to an article published by the Atlantic last month.
So as early as 2018-19, William Barr was ALREADY working against President Trump and against the American people. With that kind of track record, US Attorney McSwain’s story has a lot of credibility.
