Former U.S. Attorney General William Barr might wish he had timed his book tour a little differently. Coming now, as it does, the release puts into stark relief the impact of his official silence. Barr excuses his astonishing decision to cover up Biden family criminality with the claim that to speak up would be to interfere in the 2020 election, which ironically has turned out to be the most corrupt and controversial presidential election in decades. William Barr's silence was itself, interference.
At the end of 2019 America enjoyed a thriving economy, the lowest unemployment in decades, including the lowest minority unemployment in history, manageably low Inflation, relative peace, and energy independence which had led to the recognition of Israel by several Arab nations. William Barr's silence was in large part responsible for undoing all that.
Today, energy costs skyrocket and Inflation rages, exacerbated by federal stimulus payments that discourage people from going to work. American civil liberties have been trampled, lives have been disrupted, families devastated, and businesses have been selectively crushed in the name of eradicating a man-made virus that has a fatality rate of 1.22%. To top it all off, we are faced with the prospects of World War III as Russia has invaded Ukraine, an action that was unthinkable during the Trump administration.
Thank you, Bill Barr, for your part in bringing us to this dangerous state of affairs.
Jeff Carlson & Hans Mahncke of the Epoch Times have more: How Bill Barr’s Silence Impacted the Outcome of an Election
Barr recently recounted that he “was very disturbed during the debate when candidate Biden lied to the American people about the laptop.” Barr told Fox News in an interview that Biden “was squarely confronted with the laptop and he suggested that it was Russian disinformation. … And I was shocked by that. … When you’re talking about interference in an election, I can’t think of anything more than that kind of thing.”
Barr’s supposed “shock” over Biden’s claims of Russian disinformation during the debate begs a simple question: If Barr actually felt that Biden’s assertions of “Russian disinformation” amounted to “interference in an election,” why didn’t Barr say anything at the time?

Not only did Barr choose to remain silent about Hunter’s laptop, but he had also, in fact, “instructed prosecutors and senior colleagues to prevent word of investigations into Hunter Biden from becoming public and keep the Justice Department out of campaign politics,” according to sources cited by The Wall Street Journal.
As we now know, Hunter’s emails and laptop are real. Indeed, shortly after the election, Hunter Biden suddenly released a statement acknowledging that he was under federal investigation.
The silence from Barr enabled the media’s blackout on the laptop story that had direct ramifications on the 2020 election. A poll by Media Research showed that 45 percent of the Biden voters were unaware of the allegations against Hunter and Joe Biden and that 16 percent of Biden voters–well over the margin of victory–wouldn’t have voted for him had they known this crucial information.
