Bill Barr Scorcher: Effort to Push Trump From Office Closest Thing to Coup Since Lincoln Assassination
[PJ] Attorney General William Barr took his verbal scalpel and shredded the complete "bovine silence" of the media following the "complete collapse" of the attempted coup of President Trump — an attempt that he agreed hasn’t been seen since the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.

Other than that, the interview on "Sunday Morning Futures With Maria Bartiromo" was a complete snore-fest.

Real Clear Politics provides a transcription of the interplay between the attorney general and host Maria Bartiromo, who told Barr:
"A source said to me a couple of years ago, speaking of the Russia collusion story, that this was the closest the United States ever came to a coup to take down a president since the assassination of Lincoln. Is that an appropriate statement?" Bartiromo asked Barr.

"In this sense, I think it is the closest we have come to an organized effort to push a president out of office," Barr agreed. "I’m not reaching a judgment to what the motivations there were."

He said that the motivations may have been different for each of the players in the scandal.
