During a recent interview, former AG Bill Barr said that the Deep State does exist, and it’s real. Barr told host Margaret Hoover that the Deep State does exist and they use their positions to try to force people to do what they are told. Hmm. Was Barr told by the Deep State not to investigate voter fraud, and to cover it up? There has to be a reason for him to fail to do his job.
Barr referred back to his first stint as QAG under George W. Bush in a reply to Hoover.
Barr said:
“He was CIA director for one year and that institution is now named after him. When you drive by it in Langley, it’s the George H.W. Bush Center. And he was highly regarded because he basically trusted people in the agency. He didn’t separate himself from them and, you know, bash them and so forth. Now, I have to say that it was a different age. Things have, you know, evolved.”
“So, you know, I wouldn’t take what he said to say, ‘Well, gee, you know, the people who were saying there’s a Deep State today are, you know, are wrong,’ right?
There is a deep state.”
“I am critical of the Deep State and believe it exists. The way I would define the deep state is an increased willingness by more and more government civil servants to pursue political objectives, rather than stand up for the values of the institution they’re a part of. They are not neutral. They’re not politically neutral. But on the other side of the ledger, okay, is that I think there’s an exaggeration of its pervasiveness. It’s bad. It does pervert government. But I still think the vast majority of civil servants try to do an honest job and try to check their politics at the door.”
TRANSCRIPT:
MARGARET HOOVER: You worked under George H.W. Bush when he was CIA director as well, when you were still at the CIA. And you write, “He was easily accessible and he trusted CIA professionals, unless they gave him reason not to. I learned a lot watching him lift up a dispirited organization.” Talk more about what you learned from Bush’s leadership.
BILL BARR: Well, exactly that. He was CIA director for one year and that institution is now named after him. When you drive by it in Langley, it’s the George H.W. Bush Center. And he was highly regarded because he basically trusted people in the agency. He didn’t separate himself from them and, you know, bash them and so forth. Now I have to say that it was a different age. Things have, you know, evolved. So, you know, I wouldn’t take what he said to say, ‘Well, gee, you know, the people who were saying there’s a Deep State today are, you know, are wrong,’ right? There is a deep state.
HOOVER: That’s where I– You read my mind. That’s where I’m going. So given that you’ve worked with career professionals, you have had a long career of interfacing with civil servants who have made their life in the government, I think you’re actually particularly well-suited to comment about the state of the Deep State—whether it exists, how it exists, what it looks like—to put some nuance and some texture around it for me.
BARR: Well, I think the people who attack the Deep State – and I am critical of the Deep State and believe it exists – but there’s also some of the rhetoric and some of the positioning–
HOOVER: So how do you define it?
BARR: The way I would define the deep state is an increased willingness by more and more government civil servants to pursue political objectives, rather than stand up for the values of the institution they’re a part of. They are not neutral. They’re not politically neutral. But on the other side of the ledger, okay, is that I think there’s an exaggeration of its pervasiveness. It’s bad. It does pervert government. But I still think the vast majority of civil servants try to do an honest job and try to check their politics at the door. And I think that President Bush’s quote that you played is right on the money. The most important thing is leadership. When you provide clear guidance and goals people will– the institution will deliver for you. You can move the institution. And I think people who come in to run the government, who try to govern, who treat government employees as pariahs, are not doing their job.

Now this is Bull Shit from a Master Bull Shit Artist! During the run up to the 2020 election Barr kept repeating that The Durham investigation results couldn’t be announced just prior to the election which is also stipulated in the Constitution, which he stated at the time how that would be election interference! Give me a break, so now he doesn’t see that happening in spades in the 2022 election! So then in this current Mid-Term we had the current Partisan DOJ director Garland who is so far left he was bypassed as a candidate for SCOTUS; who launched a Swat Team Gestapo Raid on the 45th presidents home with military weapons and overwhelming force over a bogus warrant regarding classified information that said Trump was holding, and yet he as the 45th president declassified what he had; just like all previous presidents had that right to do that; and what was the imperative days before a national election to do this; there was none!
But truth be known what Garland did was a partisan pre-election show of force to manipulate the election and say that Trump is a criminal like all Republicans when it’s really he Garland and the whole sticking Democrat Socialist party that are the criminals; thus he interfered with the election process like we’re some Banana Republic; a major violation of the US Constitution! When in essence what Garland wanted to get his dirty criminal hands on is anything Trump had in his possession that was damning evidence to the Democrat corruption and their many high treason crimes that Trump most certainly would have such information if he is smart, and, I would have done the same because when dealing with the Democrat Party one is dealing with very adept and a massive fraudulent criminal operation; a Mafia of sorts!
Barr knows all of this and isn’t being straight at all!
You hit the nail on the head. Never trusted Barr. There was so much evidence of fraud during the 20 election. And there is more evidence after the 22 midterms. I would love to see the Republican Congress investigate all the evidence of fraud during the last two elections.
You’ve got it… it’s amazing how many ‘dumb-ass’ people wouldn’t get it even if they were rounded up to be put in camps….. The irony ( as you know ) is that they voted for their own destruction!
Now that he was able to make his millions by his actions, now he tells us what we already knew. Trump was right! About many things…..and about Barr.
That is correct. they voted for Democrats who are corrupt, evil, lying and cheating!
It is obvious that Barr is deeply afraid of the “deep state” also known as the “hidden government”…If you want to read a true story check out the book “Confessions of an Economic Hit Man”…i don’t recall the authors name other than he is from Keene, New Hampshire…I was totally floored by what I read and so will you..
Nor forgetting: “If the American people knew what we (CIA) have done, they would string us up from the nearest lamp post”…George H.W. Bush, Director CIA, 1976-1977.
Barr was given an offer he couldn’t refuse
george h w bush was part of the cabal deep state and his son is too….
The Bushes have always been Globalists, and therefore should not be trusted any more than you would trust a conniving, lying. America-hating Demmunist.
It is amazing to me to see how deep and wide the swamp really is…..
You knocked it out of the park! Never seen things explained is such detail. I agree with you on Barr-he is deep state through and through and an avid anti Trumper.
Go to hell coward….
The truth WILL ALWAYS come out, EVENTUALLY, no matter what LIES the liberals and RINO’s spew !!!! WE ALL knew that President Trump was RIGHT and that BARR is a LIBERAL PLANT !!!! I just wonder if the REAL Republicans will finally have balls enough to actually do something about it, I SERIOUSLY DOUBT IT, they always want to “COMPROMISE” in D.C., YOU CANNOT COMPROMISE WITH LIBERAL LIARS, they see it as weakness and use it against you, if you offer a hand of kindness across the isle, the Liberals will rip it off and beat you with it, LIBERALS MUST BE CRUSHED, they are the SCUM OF THIS EARTH, PERIOD !!!!
Exactly.
It IS THE s a t a n i s t s !!!

Well … I was … and now yall know it too
The epitome of an incompetent, do nothing repub. When things go this fatpig should be in the front lines. With all the treasonous activity of clinton, ovomit, comey, lynch and the entire doj, barr did nothing. Everyone down to the bottom of the fbi should have been individually investigated and forced to testify against other and held for lying too. Wray on down tried for treason too. Pathetic operation since hoover who blackmailed everyone as is still done so no one goes after them. Start with firing wray on down.
Very well stated!
Yep….. Trump was RIGHT……. AGAIN !!!!!
barr is another lowlife maggot that belongs behind bars for his corruption in covering up when he knew dam well they did rigg the 2020 election..no way did that crooked nutcase child molester biden win the 2020 election;..he is a crook and a dirty child molester..you see how he goes up behind the women and sniffs their neck and so on..he is disgusting.. barr is a disgrace….it is sickening how these dmocrooks stole the election and the head judge with the surpreme court wouldnot over turn the 2020 election he knew also the election was rigged.they had someone on that judge that was why he didnot do anything to over turn the election..he should loose his job for not over turning that election…president trump did win that election….clarence Thomas wanted to do something and they went after him and his wife..he still should have done something knowing the election was rigged by these corrupt democrooks..that head judge they had proof of him going over to Epstein island having sex with all those young women..that is why he didnot over turn the 2020 election… the truth always comes out…all these maggots will pay for their crimes they think they have gotten away with..no one gets away with doing bad things…we all have to answer to GOD…say your prayers…
Bill Barr has lost his objective credibility. He has shown us that he is a biased individual and he has no backbone. I believe he knows the truth but doesn’t have the courage to stand up for it.
