Barr: D.C. Might Not Be a Fair Venue for Trump, Venue Change Should Be Considered
[Breitbart] During an interview with PBS aired on Thursday’s broadcast of "PBS NewsHour," former Attorney General Bill Barr said that D.C. might not be a fair jurisdiction for 2024 Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump to stand trial on the charges over January 6 and the Department of Justice should consider moving the venue like they did in the documents case.
Obviously a poll watcher. Pole sitter? Never happen.
Co-host Geoff Bennett asked, "Can Mr. Trump get a fair trial in Washington, D.C.? Because his legal team is asking for a change of venue — or at least they say they’re going to ask for a change of venue — because they say that D.C. isn’t politically favorable."

Barr responded, "To be honest, I feel strongly that the most important thing in any of these, whether you like the defendant, whether you’re rooting for him or not, is fairness to the individual. And, to be honest, I think that this may not be the — a fair jurisdiction for him, given the heat of political sentiment these days. So, I think that motion is worthy of consideration."
Mind like a steel trap, that Bill Barr.
He added, "I would just point out that, in the other case, I thought the Justice Department sought venue in Florida, rather than D.C., and then it was moved to an even more favorable jurisdiction, Fort Pierce. So, that favors the President — President Trump. I think it would be good to consider that here."
Been at least 48 hours since this onerous rascal was in the D.C. news. I was beginning to become concerned as to his health.

#1 Pickens County Courthouse dockets are seldom crowded and generally quite flexible.

I recommend the Mule House for lunch or dinner. It's less than a 5 min walk.

#2 If it’s not fair for Trump it’s not fair for the J6’res.

#3 ...I have a serious (I know, I know; it does happen from time to time) question.

One of the charges is "conspiracy against the rights of citizens", i.e.; trying to nullify their votes.

With that in mind...how could anyone who voted in 2020 be a juror?

#4 Should the trial be moved?
YES


But Where?
Given LSD's & their Media have already pre-positioned a Anti-Trump narrative in a every US LSD run Metro area, and we see a clearly tainted Justice System.

But, I don't see a fair trial venue, or a untainted jury pool anywhere either.

The LSD's & their controlled media have actively been selling a false narrative. Falsely portraying Trump as a racist and megalomaniac.

All this despite Trump having a well proven racial unifying record and agenda. Where even his administration staff was far, far better than any (D) admin or LSD Coup in the last 150 years.

#5 I believe that Barr comprehends that he has become so despicable he has begun to try to walk back his anti-Trump bias. Too late, fat man. Too late.

#6 Perhaps Barr is moving toward the fact that Trump can't get a fair trial anywhere there is a courthouse.

#7 How could American voters have standing against Trump, but not have standing in any other election case?
