Biden Jokes That Barr Called For ‘Witness Protection’ After Denying Voter Fraud Claims | Talking Points Memo

President-elect Joe Biden on Tuesday joked that Attorney General Bill Barr had called him, “asking if I can get him in the witness protection program for endorsing me,” after Barr finally acknowledged earlier in the day that the Justice Department had seen no evidence of widespread fraud in the presidential election.

“I feel like I’ve done something good for the country by making sure that Donald Trump is not going to be president for four more years,” Biden said.

Thank you, Joe, you’ve done better than you know.

Now you have Lou freaking Dobbs saying that Bill Barr part of the deep state. The only thing left for him is to go full Devil’s Triangle and claim that Trump is the chairman of the deep state.

Perhaps Barr’s favorite pet theory, the “Unitary Executive” isn’t looking as cute as it once was?

Maybe he hadn’t counted on the losing “Unitary Executive” refusing to hand over the Regular Executive to the winner of the election?

Anyway, kudos for Joe giving them all the raspberries.

For every article I see about Trump “boxing in” the Biden administration with this or that decision, I’m reminded that Trump is at risk for being in a literal box ten times over after 20 Jan.

Biden does have a very authentic voice – I particularly liked the reply that he has felt “no elation” about being elected because there is so much to do, and then reflecting, “I feel like I’ve done something good for the country by making sure that Donald Trump is not going to be president for four more years." It just seems so direct. We are going from the world’s biggest egomaniac to someone who incredibly seems rather humble and realistic about his predicament – I wonder how the media and the public will react to the sudden lack of showmanship and drama.

Here are the five words that I hope Trump keeps hearing time after time after 12:01 Jan. 20, 2021, “Will the defendant please rise.”
