Trump just proved he doesn’t need Air Force One or Twitter to attract a huge following. His sensational comeback has the advantage of smoking out the Never-Trumpers who they tried unsuccessfully to silence himwhich will never happen.
Trump returned without missing a beat. After holding spectacular rally in Ohio on Saturday evening, Trump spent the next three days criticizing his “pathetic” Attorney General Bill Barr, whose duplicity and inaction have contributed to our country’s current predicament.
“Despite evidence of massive electoral fraudhe just I didn’t want to go there,” Trump remarked about the “slow-moving swamp creature” who ran the Justice Department. Barr allegedly pretended to open an investigation into election fraud, only to tell Trump no such evidence could be found.
At a packed rally in Ohio, Trump condemned the mistreatment of his lawyer Rudy Giuliani, including the shocking raid on Rudy’s residence. Communist countries are targeting the politician’s lawyer, just as liberals did with Giuliani.
Trump’s speech included: a retelling of his favorite fairy tale, “The Snake,” on the risks of granting asylum to refugees. Our southern border is flooded with illegal immigrants, whom Trump visited on Wednesday, after Biden refused.
Trump is back not a moment too soon. His complaints about the crisis at the border and politicization of the Justice Department in order to harass its supporters these are words all Republicans should be shouting from the mountaintops.
Barr, as head of the Justice Department, has done nothing to stop the inclusion of a flood of fraudulent mail-in votes now being investigated locally in battleground states. While the left has been waging ongoing serial lawsuits against any Trump supporter it can lay its hands on, Barr has never taken any significant action against voter fraud.
Barr allowed takeover of Justice Department to launch political investigationswhich then led to 500 arrests of unarmed protesters exercising their First Amendment rights at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. Barr had essentially resigned from his position two weeks earlier, resigning just before the situation escalated with a congressional vote on the election.
“Bill Barr has been a disappointment in every sense of the word,” Trump said in response to a recent book exposing Barr’s disloyalty. “Instead of doing his job, he did the opposite and told people at the Justice Department not to investigate the election,” Trump added.
“Bill Barr’s weakness made it easier to cover up the Crime of the Century, the 2020 Election Rig!” Trump explained.
DOJ’s politicized prosecution is something Barr should have permanently stopped. Instead, he looked the other way and abandoned ship rather than do his job.
Barr’s resignation letter, when he left prematurely, included effusive praise for then-President Trump. But Barr’s Refusal to Stand Up to Leftists in His Own Department leaves Washington immersed in the tyranny of the accusers.
More than $100 million spent on Mueller’s investigationincluding the cost of defending against frivolous charges, and yet Barr’s department apparently did not spend even $100 to ensure the integrity of the presidential election. “Count every fake vote” has become a mantra among the Deep State that Barr failed to stop.
“If there was evidence of fraud, I had no reason to hide it,” Barr is quoted as saying in the recent book “Betrayal” by ABC News’ chief Washington correspondent. “But my suspicion from the beginning was that there was nothing there. It was all bunk,” Barr is quoted as saying.
Barr, therefore, took the straightforward way out. Asking tough questions is the way to expose wrongdoing, not the refusal to do a fair job of investigating by someone whose job it was to investigate before drawing conclusions.
By dawn, a enormous crowd had already gathered for Trump’s latest rally in Ohio. Some had been there for days, like truck driver Mike Boatman, who spoke to an NPR reporter.
“He’s going to draw huge crowds wherever he goes. This is small-town America,” Boatman observed amid hordes of patriots that have grown 100 times larger than what Biden could attract even in a big city.
“We’ve won the election twice, and we may have to win it a third time,” Trump said as he finally took the stage, echoing President Andrew Jackson’s successful critique of the corrupt Eastern bloc arrangement of nearly 200 years ago. “It’s possible,” Trump added coyly about returning to the White House.
The venue for the event was Rep. Anthony Gonzalez (R-OH), who voted with nine other Republicans to impeach TrumpTrump supporter Max Miller is running for the seat with Trump’s endorsement.
Trump supporters were cheerful to join the liberals throw Trump overboard and find someone who will play with the Establishment. But six months later, there is no such replacement, and Trump is back with all the fanfare of the true leader that he is.
