Fascist dictatorship, and so bill barr, after, ive got to say, humiliating himself for several years, bill barr decides, this is where i get off. This is enough. This is my line. I believe in an imperial presidency, but i dont believe in a fascist presidency. Thats what donald trump was asking him to do. Asking him to steal an election. Asking him to arrest his political opponents. Asking him to do the sort of things, again, that fascist dictators do. He wouldnt do it. Now, trump has turned on him. As far as fani willis goes and jack smith and everything else, again, we can point you back to it and play it for you again, what we were saying in 2019. If donald trump lost in 2020, he would run again, and hed run again simply to avoid all the crimes he was committing. Im not good at math, but that was four years ago. Four years ago, we were saying he will run again so he can try to avoid jail. Going to jail. Here we are. I must say, a lot of people were saying that, so its hard to believe
Seen that at the time. the reason for the pardon, which ford granted about a month after taking office he took office on august 9th, 1974, and the pardon was granted september 8th, a month later. the reason he did that, he couldn t move ahead in the office of the presidency with that hanging over the fate of the country, in some respects, and it was locking him up. he couldn t go on to the duties of being president and handling the issues that were holding us back at that time, including an economy that was suffering from stagflation and a lingering war in vietnam. so he just wanted to put it past the country, so he decided to pardon richard nixon. it is interesting, eugene, because, later, ford was asked what the disqualifying trait for the presidency should be. he said, arrogance. this was just four years after
