Bill Barr on The Situation Room

Wow. I definitely need to re-watch to sift through his bullshit, but what I recall immediately:

1. They tracked "antifa" associated people, watched their purchases, and supposedly knew they were coming to disrupt the RNC from Portland and a couple other places.

2. He feels China is making more of an effort to influence the upcoming election than Russia. Wouldn't say in favor of who, but we've already heard that they supposedly favor Biden. Which I doubt, actually, since what adversary would want a competent president in the US?

3. Universal mail-in voting is wide open to fraud, including counterfeit ballots being distributed from within and outside of the US. Says even Carter said in 2009 that mail in ballots were bad.

4. There is no systemic racism--it's all overblown. Says even Jesse Jackson claimed to be more afraid of black youth following him than white youth.

5. The media lies and should be, actual words, "fair and balanced."

Wolf tried to ask follow-ups, but Barr is so sleazy and arrogant it was painful. He also said that Trump could send troops to polling places "if there was a known threat that would require it" and gave an example of protecting black voters from being suppressed (said with a straight face, too).

Then you'd switch places with any Black man or woman in the country, right? And drive a white Mercedes late at night through, say, Tuscaloosa, Alabama or Jackson, Mississippi?
