I think Barr was a great AG, but I can appreciate the fact that a lot was going on, no court cases were winning, no fraud was being found. I guess you could say, "He should have known." But the reality is that as AG there was nothing he could do. There was no legal basis for standing up and calling it all a lie. We are either operating under a rule of law or we are not. OTOH, today, we see what happened and there needs to be a concentrated effort by Republicans (Dems aren't going to do it, for sure) to make law that prohibits nationally the kinds of corrupt contributions that Zuckerberg made and that acknowledges the fact that fraud cannot be the metric by which election theft is measured. Today, in America, it is not possible to make a credible fraud allegation, have discovery, have a court proceeding and finding of fact in the course of two months between Election Day and Jan 6 or whenever. Cannot be done. As a result, fraud can never be found to have occurred. This is a serious problem that no one is addressing AFAIK. It is easy to see that there are no measures to protect against election fraud if none of them can play out in the course of two months. This should be changed before the next election, such that fraud need not be found. What should be required for some further process is "gross unfairness". The other thing that ought to be getting pounded right now is mail-in votes. They ought to be stopped. And even by god Iraq now has biometric voter IDs. And we can't do that much? Republicans are abject failures at fighting this battle. And that, not Barr, is the problem. Marc Elias could teach us a thing or two if we'd just watch what he's doing every day for a month.
