Ted Cruz, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and former U.N. Ambassador and South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley. Neither Trump nor any of the other potential candidates have formally announced plans to run.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This interview of Bill Barr by <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/bariweiss?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@bariweiss<\/a> is really remarkable, and I&#8217;m surprised it&#8217;s not gotten more attention. Some highlights: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/gZ9DqfPyK9\">https:\/\/t.co\/gZ9DqfPyK9<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Mr. Barr is saddened that no Democrats\/media have apologized for &#8220;Russiagate:&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/kFnzXGSzrZ\">pic.twitter.com\/kFnzXGSzrZ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Peter Sagal (@petersagal) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/petersagal\/status\/1563147055568015361?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 26, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI like a lot of them,\u201d Barr said. \u201cAnd my view is, I\u2019m going to support whoever has the best chance of pushing Trump aside.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Barr revealed what he called the most awkward moment of his time in the Trump administration, which came when in the summer of 2020 when cabinet members were discussing what could be done to quell rioting over the death of George Floyd at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe president was bellowing at a number of his Cabinet secretaries and especially the military guys, the DoD secretary and chairman of the Joint Chiefs, and calling all of us f***ing losers at the top of his lungs,\u201d Barr said.<\/p>\n<p>Barr clashed with Trump while running the Department of Justice, ultimately resigning in December of 2020 after famously telling Trump claims the election he lost to President Joe Biden was rigged were \u201cbulls***.\u201d But while in office, Barr also told lawmakers that Trump had indeed been spied on by the FBI and he also made federal prosecutor John Durham, who is investigating the origin of the Russia collusion hoax, a special counsel. That move afforded Durham\u2019s investigation protection from being scuttled by the Biden administration.<\/p>\n<p>Barr said the Russiagate hoax was a \u201cbig lie\u201d that hamstrung Trump\u2019s administration even as journalists accepted Pulitzer Prizes for reporting a phony story fed to them by Democratic operatives and partisan government sources.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been surprised that the mainstream media and the\u00a0people who fanned this to the point of hysteria haven\u2019t come back to say, \u2018Yeah, there\u00a0was a big lie in 2016 that has hurt the country and distorted our politics and foreign\u00a0policy throughout the Trump administration. It was unjust. It was wrong. And we<br \/>made a mistake.\u2019 Very few, if any, have come out to say that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Barr said he supported most of Trump\u2019s policy agenda, and that he should not have been impeached over the January 6 riots. Much \u2013 though not all \u2013\u00a0of the vitriol directed against Trump is irrational, according to Barr.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Left has lost their mind over Trump \u2014 Trump derangement syndrome is a real thing \u2014 but Trump is his own worst enemy and has provoked a lot of the venom,\u201d Barr said.<\/p>\n<p>Barr said he warned Trump in early 2020 that he could lose the election if he didn\u2019t \u201cadjust\u201d his behavior. But Trump \u201ccontinued to be self-indulgent and petty, and turned off key constituents that made the difference in the election,\u201d Barr said.<\/p>\n<p>In the next presidential election, Trump is not the right conservative to bring the deeply polarized country back together, Barr said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe problem with Trump is that it\u2019s always about running just a base election, whip up your base, get your base all upset, get them outraged and turn them out at the polls,\u201d Barr said. \u201cBoth sides do that. It\u2019s a prescription for continued hostility within the country, demoralization within the country, and an impasse with the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Still, Barr said that if Trump were to secure the 2024 Republican presidential nomination and run against a progressive Democrat, he\u2019ll cast his ballot for Trump. Barr said progressivism is the greatest threat currently facing America.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bill Barr, who battled for \u2013 and with \u2013 his boss, former President Trump, while serving a tumultuous two-year stint as U.S. attorney general, divulged in a Thursday interview who he hopes emerges from a potentially crowded 2024 field of GOP presidential candidates.
