‘Gutless Pig’: Trump Skewers Bill Barr For Saying ‘He’s Toast’ After Indictment
Former President Donald Trump called his former Attorney General Bill Barr a “gutless pig” after he stated that the former president is “toast” after the Biden Administration’s federal indictment.
During an appearance on Fox News Sunday, Barr rejected Trump’s premise that the indictment amounts to a “witch hunt,” adding that the indictment is “very, very damning.”
“I was shocked by the degree of sensitivity of these documents and how many there were, frankly,” Barr said. “If even half of it is true, he’s toast.”
“I mean, it’s a very detailed indictment, and it’s very, very damning. This idea of presenting Trump as a victim here, a victim of a witch hunt, is ridiculous,” he continued.

Trump responded to his former attorney general’s comments in a lengthy TruthSocial post on Sunday, calling Barr a “lazy attorney general” and “gutless pig.”
“Virtually everyone is saying that the Indictment is Election Interference & should not have been brought, except Bill Barr, a ‘disgruntled former employee’ & lazy Attorney General who was weak and totally ineffective,” Trump wrote.
“He doesn’t mean what he’s saying, it’s just MISINFORMATION. Barr’s doing it because he hates “TRUMP” for firing him. He was deathly afraid of the Radical Left when they said they would Impeach him.”
“He knows this indictment is Bull… Turn off Fox News when that “Gutless Pig” is on!”
Jeffrey Clark, who served as Assistant Attorney General in the Trump Administration, disagrees with Barr’s assertion that Trump is “toast.”
“I’m beginning to read the indictment against Trump,” Clark said. “But even three pages in, it’s clear that the leaks that preceded the indictment are far too close to what is actually being pleaded by DOJ to be a coincidence.”
“For example, in paragraph 6a on page 3, we hear about the recording of the Bedminster call, which the MSNBC’s of the world have been beating a dead horse about for quite a while based on such leaks,” he continued. “This means that Trump lawyers could not possibly be the source of the leaks. Ergo, the leaks are coming from DOJ. They must be investigated and punished.”
