Barr Keeps Turning on Trump 2025-04-28T11:51:42-07:00 Kermit Zarley

Former Attorney General William Barr was Donald Trump’s most influential sycophant in the Trump presidential orbit. Loyal Barr constantly defended several of President Trump’s seemingly law-breaking actions. Barr only began to turn against him late in his presidency. It began with Barr criticizing Trump for tweeting so much. The president was well known for using his Twitter account about a dozen times per day, often like a wrecking ball to defend himself by lashing out at his critics.

Then, soon after Trump lost his re-election bid and was claiming that he really won–in December, 2020, only weeks before Trump had to vacate the White House–Barr alleged that Trump’s allegation that the election had been “fraudulent” was “bullshit.” From then on, these two have locked horns. Trump has called Barr “a hack,” “weak” and “ineffective.” What a difference from when he constantly praised his loyal AG.

Yesterday, Bill Barr came out with his strongest criticisms of his former boss. In an interview by journalist Bari Weiss on his podcast “Honestly,” Barr analyzed Trump’s psyche as being “all about himself.” Uh, Mr. Barr, why did it take you so long to figure that out about an obvious con man who talked like a New York mobster boss? Barr further accused his golden-haired Republican that he is guilty of “extortion” and “sabotage” of the Republican Party.

Barr said that partly due to Trump the Loser calling Republican members of Congress who are disloyal to him–and therefore refuse to agree that the election was “stolen” from him by the Democrats–as being RINOs, meaning Republican In Name Only. Barr alleged, “The idea that there are RINOs, people that really don’t support Republican principles, is simply not true. What the president is defining as RINOs are people who are true blue Republicans and conservatives but who just have a problem with Trump personally.”

The nation’s foremost lawyer for a few years further explained, “The tactic that Trump is using to exert this control over the Republican Party is extortion” and “sabotage.” Barr added, “It shows what he’s all about. He’s all about himself.”

Oh, then I guess Trump wasn’t really NOT trying to Make America Great Again but Make Trump Great Again. Barr admitted that it became “very difficult to work with” President Trump after he lost the election. Barr further admitted that he didn’t expect Trump to fall for “these very wacky legal theories that no one gave any credence to.” Well, no one except some prominent lawyers in Trump’s orbit, such as John Eastman and Ms. Sydney Powell. They almost took over as President Trump’s legal advisors in the last days of his administration.

Barr may now be admitting these truths about his former boss partly to save his own skin. That’s what people often do when they see the handwriting on the wall about themselves being in legal trouble–turn on each other. Barr may be legally in trouble for his serious and purposeful mishandling of the Mueller report, which was about Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election plus Trump’s possible obstruction of justice.

Or at the very least, Barr may be vulnerable to losing his license to practice law because of this and other things he did in his second go-round as the nation’s Attorney General. Yet Barr also admitted yesterday that if Donald Trump is the Republican nominee in the upcoming 2024 presidential election, Barr would vote for Trump as the “lesser-of-two evils choice.”

All of this affirms what I said about Donald Trump in the many posts (350 in 5.5 years) that I wrote on my Kermit Zarley Blog about him as president. Many of them are now in my book, Bible Predicts Trump Fall.

I had blogged during Trump’s first presidential campaign, on May 20, 2016, “I think Donald Trump is a big bag of hot air ready to blow up like the Hiddenburg blimp if he becomes U.S. president.” Just over one week later, on June 1, I blogged about Trump, “I think he’ll bring America down, not Make America Great Again.” And in almost a dozen different blog posts I quoted a biblical proverb and applied it to The Donald which says, “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall” (Proverbs 16.18). Finally, on July 18, 2018, I blogged, “I think Trumpgate will make Watergate look like a Sunday school picnic.”

We will soon find out if this last prediction has legs when these multiple investigations of Donald Trump are finalized, including two by the U.S. Department of Justice, and their prosecutors decide whether or not to pursue prosecution of the former president of the USA, which would be an all time first.
