RUSH TRANSCRIPT But we ░░░░░░░░ see clearly she is ░░░░░░░░ ahead with her investigation ░░░░░░░░ in Georgia Back to ░░░░░░░░ All right Sara thank ░░░░░░░░ Let s talk now ░░░░░░░░ Bob Barr a former ░░░░░░░░ congressman in Georgia who ░░░░░░░░ as the House manager ░░░░░░░░ the medical treatment trial ░░░░░░░░ then President Clinton He ░░░░░░░░ also a former U ░░░░░░░░ attorney for Georgia s ░░░░░░░░ district Safe to say ░░░░░░░░ has the credentials to ░░░░░░░░ about this particular issue ░░░░░░░░ a number of levels ░░░░░░░░ congressman thank you so ░░░░░░░░ for joining us Let ░░░░░░░░ talk now first about ░░░░░░░░ letter that was sent ░░░░░░░░ the Fulton County d ░░░░░░░░ fani willis to David ░░░░░░░░ who s the chairman ░░░░░░░░ Georgia s Republican Party ░░░░░░░░ s called a target ░░░░░░░░ but sources tell CNN ░░░░░░░░ shaeffer was previously told ░░░░░░░░ he was a witness ░░░░░░░░ a target in the ░░░░░░░░ So explain the difference ░░░░░░░░ what this letter could ░░░░░░░░ for shaeffer There s ░░░░░░░░ major difference now you ░░░░░░░░ in federal law I ░░░░░░░░ as you mentioned in ░░░░░░░░ intro as the U ░░░░░░░░ attorney here for the ░░░░░░░░ district of Georgia a ░░░░░░░░ letter is the last ░░░░░░░░ before formal action may ░░░░░░░░ taken against somebody that ░░░░░░░░ grand jury is interested ░░░░░░░░ Sending somebody a witness ░░░░░░░░ is very different and ░░░░░░░░ think the district attorney ░░░░░░░░ could have some problems ░░░░░░░░ is in fact indicating ░░░░░░░░ an individual that they ░░░░░░░░ cooperate because they are ░░░░░░░░ may be a witness ░░░░░░░░ then shifts that to ░░░░░░░░ target She had better ░░░░░░░░ some pretty good reasons ░░░░░░░░ doing that in the ░░░░░░░░ that she did as ░░░░░░░░ to trying to lull ░░░░░░░░ witness into a sense ░░░░░░░░ confidence in being forth ░░░░░░░░ and then slamming the ░░░░░░░░ on them You know ░░░░░░░░ saying it s improper ░░░░░░░░ she has to have ░░░░░░░░ pretty good taste in ░░░░░░░░ to do that Well ░░░░░░░░ s talk a little ░░░░░░░░ about shaeffer s possible ░░░░░░░░ He acted as a ░░░░░░░░ Trump elector in Georgia ░░░░░░░░ also helped to organize ░░░░░░░░ slate of fake electors ░░░░░░░░ the state something he ░░░░░░░░ the January 6th committee ░░░░░░░░ at the direction of ░░░░░░░░ Trump campaign after the ░░░░░░░░ lost Georgia I mean ░░░░░░░░ type of legal exposure ░░░░░░░░ he have and could ░░░░░░░░ be some sort of ░░░░░░░░ effort to perhaps get ░░░░░░░░ to flip on someone ░░░░░░░░ up the food chain ░░░░░░░░ of course there s ░░░░░░░░ that possibility prosecutors always ░░░░░░░░ to try and identify ░░░░░░░░ who can be pressured ░░░░░░░░ move up the food ░░░░░░░░ as you indicated I ░░░░░░░░ t think we re ░░░░░░░░ that stage yet I ░░░░░░░░ really not quite sure ░░░░░░░░ the goal of the ░░░░░░░░ attorney is as opposed ░░░░░░░░ perhaps a federal investigation ░░░░░░░░ probably would make more ░░░░░░░░ I m not sure ░░░░░░░░ charges Fulton County would ░░░░░░░░ I ve heard or ░░░░░░░░ analyses that indicate well ░░░░░░░░ the writings were false ░░░░░░░░ the writings were misleading ░░░░░░░░ something They could be ░░░░░░░░ together some sort of ░░░░░░░░ case you know sort ░░░░░░░░ accountablingcobbl a whole list ░░░░░░░░ what might be non ░░░░░░░░ offenses with a goal ░░░░░░░░ subverting the election But ░░░░░░░░ again to me this ░░░░░░░░ be more of a ░░░░░░░░ issue if there s ░░░░░░░░ there not so much ░░░░░░░░ because if they re ░░░░░░░░ to have a difficult ░░░░░░░░ sitting what we know ░░░░░░░░ far into a state ░░░░░░░░ That s interesting because ░░░░░░░░ have been a lot ░░░░░░░░ people who have pinned ░░░░░░░░ district attorney s efforts ░░░░░░░░ perhaps the best chance ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump gets indicted ░░░░░░░░ you know when you ░░░░░░░░ look at the law ░░░░░░░░ to prosecutors you point ░░░░░░░░ maybe that isn t ░░░░░░░░ case I want you ░░░░░░░░ take off your prosecutor ░░░░░░░░ hat and put your ░░░░░░░░ s hat back on ░░░░░░░░ and let s turn ░░░░░░░░ to the man who ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump s re ░░░░░░░░ hopes in 2020 President ░░░░░░░░ and you just wrote ░░░░░░░░ column for town hall ░░░░░░░░ which you write in ░░░░░░░░ quote polls illustrating the ░░░░░░░░ of American public s ░░░░░░░░ with President Joe Biden ░░░░░░░░ likely to have devastating ░░░░░░░░ and long term consequences ░░░░░░░░ his party s electoral ░░░░░░░░ this year and beyond ░░░░░░░░ is unless the GOP ░░░░░░░░ it has been known ░░░░░░░░ the past to do ░░░░░░░░ its focus What do ░░░░░░░░ mean by losingeing t ░░░░░░░░ What could your fellow ░░░░░░░░ possibly do to mess ░░░░░░░░ up I guess Well ░░░░░░░░ number of things One ░░░░░░░░ focus ought to be ░░░░░░░░ and simply an entirely ░░░░░░░░ of 2022 That should ░░░░░░░░ the one thing that ░░░░░░░░ Republican Party nationally and ░░░░░░░░ the various states looks ░░░░░░░░ for a win If ░░░░░░░░ fact the party takes ░░░░░░░░ focus off the 2022 ░░░░░░░░ and starts looking back ░░░░░░░░ to 2020 or forward ░░░░░░░░ 2024 and worrying about ░░░░░░░░ might be the nominee ░░░░░░░░ years from now they ░░░░░░░░ a real chance that ░░░░░░░░ Democrats are going to ░░░░░░░░ able to somehow rebuild ░░░░░░░░ crumbling support and deny ░░░░░░░░ significant win for the ░░░░░░░░ this November It is ░░░░░░░░ that the Republicans stay ░░░░░░░░ on this year but ░░░░░░░░ concern as a Republican ░░░░░░░░ that they may fall ░░░░░░░░ to pressures to look ░░░░░░░░ to 2024 or continue ░░░░░░░░ focus on two years ░░░░░░░░ And of course the ░░░░░░░░ of all of that ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump right Because ░░░░░░░░ can t seem to ░░░░░░░░ 2020 and he s ░░░░░░░░ thinking about 2024 How ░░░░░░░░ of a problem would ░░░░░░░░ cause Republicans if he ░░░░░░░░ to announce that he ░░░░░░░░ like to run for ░░░░░░░░ again in 2024 before ░░░░░░░░ midterms in November I ░░░░░░░░ it would create absolute ░░░░░░░░ within the Republican Party ░░░░░░░░ would provide e numerable ░░░░░░░░ that are there for ░░░░░░░░ to take advantage of ░░░░░░░░ Mr Trump wants to ░░░░░░░░ or decides to run ░░░░░░░░ 2024 that in my ░░░░░░░░ should not be an ░░░░░░░░ this year If he ░░░░░░░░ to run let him ░░░░░░░░ so in 2023 but ░░░░░░░░ it now would completely ░░░░░░░░ the Republican Party into ░░░░░░░░ that would be theutterly ░░░░░░░░ It would bring in ░░░░░░░░ the 2020 election nonsense ░░░░░░░░ you will and be ░░░░░░░░ because it would take ░░░░░░░░ focus off the issues ░░░░░░░░ should give the Republicans ░░░░░░░░ this year We ll ░░░░░░░░ to see what Donald ░░░░░░░░ cares more about himself ░░░░░░░░ the Republican Party We ░░░░░░░░ get that answer sooner ░░░░░░░░ than later Former congressman ░░░░░░░░ Barr excellent conversation sir ░░░░░░░░ lot of expertise you ░░░░░░░░ with us today and ░░░░░░░░ certainly appreciate it Coming ░░░░░░░░ a 10 year old ░░░░░░░░ victim was forced to ░░░░░░░░ to another state to ░░░░░░░░ an abortion because of ░░░░░░░░ where she lives The ░░░░░░░░ who performed the procedure ░░░░░░░░ now the
