Former Attorney General William Barr writes in a new book that former President Donald Trump has “shown he has neither the temperament nor persuasive powers to provide the kind of positive leadership that is needed,” and that it is time for Republicans to focus on rising new leaders in the party, the Wall Street Journal reports.

Barr writes that he was convinced that Trump could have won re-election in 2020 if he had “just exercised a modicum of self-restraint, moderating even a little of his pettiness.”

Said Barr: “The election was not ‘stolen.’ Trump lost it.”

1. Fuck you Barr

You supported his lies the whole time. Way too little and way too late.

3. ☝🏼 This.

6. I mean, really. Does he think we won't notice?

2. What nerve. Barr supported him in his "pettiness"

and now says he shouldn't have been so petty.

4. His book will not wash away his OWN crimes as Trump's AG

5. Where the fuck was Barr when we needed a real AG?

7. And the coward decided to speak up now... why?

This is the dude who, before his abrupt resignation, was saying, as a defense of his loyal service to Trump, that history is written by winners.

Well, he sure ain't gonna write no history, despite his earlier expectations to the contrary!

Loser.

8. I agree with the second post.

Barr covered up Iran Contra, destroyed his own Justice Department to protect Trump. He is no better than the thug he protected and History will not be kind to the traitor.

9. Won't read any book by one of Trump's biggest enablers. Hope others can't find publishers. nt

10. Barr wrote a book, when he long ago could have just released a summary
