In December 2020, Barr told Trump his claims of fraud were "bullshit" and he had a "clown show," rather than a real legal team, according to both "Peril" and Wall Street Journal reporter Michael Bender's book, "Frankly We Did Win This Election: The Inside Story of How Trump Lost."

"Every self-respecting lawyer in the country has run for the hills. Your team is a bunch of clowns," Barr said, according to "Peril," telling Trump he had "wasted four weeks" on "demonstrably crazy" conspiracies about voting machines.

Trump then queried Barr about fraud in Detroit, Michigan, where a big batch of ballots counted in the early morning hours had heavily favored Biden.

Barr, armed with election statistics, pointed out that Trump had actually earned a higher share of the vote in Wayne County in 2020 than he had that in 2016.

And so the fact that boxes are going into the counting station in the early morning hours is not suspicious. That's what they do," Barr told Trump, per the book. "The votes always come in at that time and the ratio of votes is the same as it was last time. There's no indication of a sudden surge of extra Biden votes."

When Trump then turned to Fulton County, Georgia, Barr told him that the DOJ was "looking into this stuff, but these things aren't panning out."

Barr is a liar. He told Trump that he had people looking into the allegation as he was telling U.S. Attorneys to not spend time investigating. Trump made some very bad hiring decisions and Barr was one of his worst mistakes. The surge in Biden votes that coincided with the late-night delivery of ballots in multiple states is well documented. I suspect that Barr is as lazy as he looks and just needed a steady income.

l have noticed a telling trend.  Everyone who disagrees with Trump is called a iar.

Shocking, isn't it? As a candidate in 2016, Trump lied about his Republican opponents more than any candidate I have ever seen. So, I never expected him to govern as honestly as any president during my lifetime. Maybe the constant investigations; the Russian collusion hoax; and an extremely adversarial, partisan, and dishonest Democrat media helped kept him honest or maybe he simply thought Americans deserved the truth for a change. Trump has many faults but dishonesty while in office is not one of them. Maybe being the victim of so many lies during his four-year term was karma for his behavior before the 2016 election.
