At 41:01 in his CPAC speech tonight, Trump starts talking about Bill Barr and questioning his lack of interest in election fraud.
At 43:06 Trump says he has a statement from US ATTORNEY in PA saying Bill Barr would not allow him to investigate fraud.
He goes on to say nobody else has seen this yet. Specifically asks Devin Nunes and Matt Gaetz if they have it yet. He directs them to talk to PA US Attorney and find out what is in letter.
From Trump's perspective, what would the rationale be for the good guy/bad guy strategy?
If Trump seems close to Sessions or Barr, then when they're called upon to bring down the cabal, the accusation will be made that they're just Trump's cronies doing what Trump told them to do with only political motives.
That's why he has distanced himself from them, in my opinion.
That's a good point and it makes sense. Thanks!
The fact that Trump told Matt and Devin to go talk to the PA attorney for themselves and didn’t just send them the statement shows how he his remaining isolated from everything.
Also this shows us Trump’s team is making moves in the background. They are taking statements from people in states where fraud was provable but not investigated. I wonder if they have other statements they have not shared yet?
