Barr: Trump Committed "Grave Wrongdoing" in January 6th Case

Barr is probably the guy I trust most about Trump, and this interview is damning--though we've heard most of his points before. I basically think Barr is right on all the major points--including that Trump's policies were generally good, that he speaks plainly (or at least straightforwardly...) about things other people in DC (especially Dems) won't speak plainly about, and that that Dems launched an unprecedented?,)  unpatriotic, rabid campaign to thwart him and torpedo his Presidency.
   In short: if not for Trump's character flaws and his actions after the election, we would face a fairly clear choice. 
   The pre-election TDS of people I know and respect--not to mention everybody else on the left--still astonishes me. Of course they could argue that they saw the real Trump, hence always had a generally justified view of him. But that doesn't seem to me to comport with the facts. OTOH, when your view is more-or-less true in the end...that's pretty important. It's a little like the outcome of an experiment. You still may not believe the theory...but there it is... 
   And, needless to say, the left's anti-Trump hysteria blinded them to his strengths. And it helped blind them to the abject madness that has taken over the left.
   Unfortunately, in the end, we'll probably end up having to decide between Trump and a non-rogue Democrat. A rogue Dem--e.g. a Manchin--would be a different kettle of fish. But we know that's not going to happen. It's Trump the post-election lunatic vs. some--who cares which?--advocate for the Dems' utterly unhinged platform. As I've made clear, I still think it's one bad apple--a very big, and, now, though not previously, very bad apple--vs. a whole barrel of mostly rotted ones. On that side, it's not so much the apples as the barrel. That is to say--and maybe I'm just bad with metaphors--but the ideology that has taken over the Dems is abjectly cracked. Though I trust Barr and tend to agree that the Smith indictment is very serious business, it's also important to recognize that the other side has brought a flood of lunatic lawsuits against Trump, from the Bragg case to E. Jean Carroll. And that's kind of the situation in a nutshell. Whom do we support? The unfit jackass running for President, or the vast, powerful, smart, almost-unimaginably influential, corrupt, organized, institutionalized, radical, open conspiracy against him that is willing to saturate the nation with propaganda and turn the justice system against its political enemies?...just for starters...
   Oh, and: that is using all its powers to protect its by-now-rather-obviously criminal front-man...an octogenarian in obvious decline, incidentally...
   We are so ****ed I can't even believe it.
