"Barr: Trump using 'extortion' to control GOP

Former Attorney General William Barr said that former President Donald
Trump was resorting to “extortion” to continue to exert influence over
the Republican Party, and said he still hasn’t decided what to make of
the FBI search of Mar-a-Lago and the government’s recovery of hundreds
of pages of classified documents.

In a lengthy interview published Thursday, former New York Times editor
Bari Weiss asked Barr why more Republicans did not simply come out and
say that Trump’s claims that election fraud had prevented him from
winning the 2020 election were, to use Barr's previous word, “bullshit.”

“The tactic that Trump is using to exert this control over the
Republican Party is extortion,” Barr said of his former boss. “What
other great leader has done this? Telling the party, ‘If it’s not me,
I’m going to ruin your election chances by telling my base to sit home.
And I’ll sabotage whoever you nominate other than me.’ It shows what
he’s all about. He’s all about himself.”"

I don't know how Trumpers can justify YKW hauling all those classified documents off, to Maro Loco? I guess they think if they don't mention anything about it, everybody else will just forget about it, too? I suspect YKW will be spun out, & hot, when
page, after page, is redacted from the report, telling some of the things he said, only without revealing who the snitches were / are? HawHawHaw!

One thing you lefty loons don't seem to understand is that no matter how
bad Trump is or you think he is, there is no democrat any of us
conservatives would ever vote for.

How do you "feel" about the transfer of student loan debt to your tax
burden?
