Don't stop with Barr. Now the Supreme Court, with its 6-3 conservative majority, three of those Justices hand picked by Trump, one of whom was rushed in before RBG'S body was even cold, said it's all over. Unanimously What more do you need?

So with SCOTUS being what they are - the highest Court in the land from which "the only appeal is an appeal to God" (AJ Arthur J. Goldberg), on what fishing expedition does Rudy plan to next take the Trump Campaign?

They did not say anything of the sort. And there is absolutely not any 6-3 majority of conservatives on that panel.

Goldberg's opinion is not the Constitution. His opinion has been echoed of late by Sotomayor, too.

Mr. Helfner, perhaps I should clarify where and under what circumstances Justice Goldberg made that remark.
It was made during 1959, when Mr. Goldberg was just that - as General Counsel for the United Steelworkers of America. During that Summer, the Steelworkers went on strike for 116 days. At about day 100, President Eisenhower had "had it" and sought an injunction to end the strike under the Taft-Hartley Act.
The Union of course appealed, and the case got to The Supremes, who ruled in favor of the Plaintiffs (I think it was an industry council and not the President). At that time, a Times reporter asked Mr. Goldberg about a further appeal. He replied, "the only appeal from the Supreme Court is an appeal to God".
