(DCWatchdog.com) – Former President Donald Trump fired a new round of harsh criticism at his former Attorney General, Bill Barr, as the one-time allies fell out shortly before the end of the Trump administration.
In a new post on his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump attacked Barr for being an “impotent” “RINO” (an abbreviation for “Republican in Name Only”).
Trump’s comments came after earlier this week, US Special Counsel John Durham released a 306-page report concluding that the FBI had no grounds to launch its investigation “Crossfire Hurricane” into the alleged “collusion” of the 2016 Trump campaign with Putin’s Russia.
Durham was appointed precisely by Bill Barr to investigate the FBI probe and a subsequent report by the previous special counsel in the case, Robert Mueller, who also found no evidence of “Trump – Russia collusion.”
William Barr served as the Trump administration’s attorney general for over 1.5 years – from Feb. 14, 2019, to Dec. 23, 2020. His conflict with the former president ensued after he refused to support Trump’s claims about voter fraud in the 2020 election.
“I only wish that Bill Barr, as the Attorney General of the United States, was able to act,” Trump wrote on Wednesday, referring to the conclusions of John Durham’s report on the FBI probe.
“Sadly, he was afraid of the Radical Left Democrat Lunatics, and their constant threats against him of impeachment, and was absolutely impotent on the subject of the Durham Report. He should have taken strong action,” declared the former president, who is also the frontrunner for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination.
The 45th president of the United States blasted his former attorney general over the “Trump – Russia collusion” investigation and his failure to act upon claims about voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election.
“Even more importantly, he did nothing on the massive voter fraud which took place during the 2020 presidential election,” Trump added.
“Remember, you get NOTHING from RINOS. An honor to have fired him!” he stated about Bill Barr.
US Special Counsel John Durham’s report declared explicitly that the FBI didn’t have “any actual evidence of collusion” between Trump’s 2016 campaign and Moscow.
“Indeed, based on the evidence gathered in the multiple exhaustive and costly federal investigations of these matters, including the instant investigation, neither US law enforcement nor the Intelligence Community appears to have possessed any actual evidence of collusion in their holdings at the commencement of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation,” Durham concluded.
He also established that “at least on the part of certain personnel intimately involved in the matter,” there was “a predisposition to open an investigation into Trump.”
