    “Of President Donald Trump’s many career skills, perhaps the least appreciated is his lifelong and uncanny ability to sniff out lawyers who will serve his will.“

    “In slightly more than 500 days in office, Attorney General William Barr has pivoted from establishment D.C. attorney—sworn to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States—into Trump’s family lawyer. The office of the attorney general is one of the oldest in our constitutional system, and the department is pledged “to ensure fair and impartial administration of justice for all Americans.” But Barr, instead, displays a tendency to use all the department’s levers—and with a $32 billion budget there are a lot of them—not to protect “all Americans” but to protect the president, personally and politically.“

    “Barr has tried to muzzle Trump’s critics, protect his friends, hide information from Congress and investigate those who investigated the president. He has also—much like Cohn and Cohen—worked as a PR agent, spinning negative information in Trump’s favor, and even using federal agents to violently clear a path through protesters before a presidential photo op.“

    “Above all, he has followed his boss’s lead in lying incessantly about every major scandal afflicting Trump, from Russia to Ukraine, and now about the current racial justice protests. Barr has is even begun lying preemptively about the coming election, claiming that the widespread use of mail-in ballots could lead to fraud. He continued also with a barrage of falsehoods large and small at this week’s House Judiciary Committee hearing, ranging from doubling down on his commitment to alternative facts about the Russia investigation to his insistence that no tear gas was used on protesters outside the White House, when the evidence is clear that it was.“

    Was there ever any doubt?

    Is there any institution or tradition that Trump hasn’t contaminated?

    Washington (CNN)Nearly 2,000 former Justice Department employees criticized Attorney General William Barr for moving to drop the charges against former national security adviser Michael Flynn last week, saying in an open letter published Monday that Barr had "assaulted the rule of law" and calling for him to resign.

    What isn't clear is whether this regurgitation of the corporate whore mockingbird media is a knockoff of Nadler's openner from the HJC pontiff show last week, or whether the HJC pontiff show was regurgitated from these corporate whore mockingbird media talking points.

    What is clear is that if the HJC Dems had any faith in the validity of these claims, Barr would have been allowed to respond to them at his hearing.

    As it was, the repeated ad nauseum 'I didn't ask you a question!' is more telling than anything else they said.

    Yes. Following the law and arguing with logic and facts against vicious lying Democrats who wasted everyone’s time grandstanding and talking instead of LISTENING. That’s why he was there but Dems preferred to hear themselves speak. ****ing idiots.

    That opinion article sure was short on factual evidence. Really big on hyperbole though. So there's that....

    Gasp! You mean just like Holder bragged in regards to Barack Obama, Barr is Trump's wingman? But, curiously, the political Left seemed just fine with that when Holder declared his utter and undying loyalty to ALL THINGS Barack Obama in nature. Hell, vast numbers of them . . . cheered.

    They don’t give a flying **** how corrupt Obama was, because the MSM buried it all. Most of them don’t even know what he did. They still think he won a Peace Prize for bringing peace to err, uuuum.. ..never mind.

    Do you know who Nadler is? He said paper ballots are susceptible to fraud. And what lie did Barr tell regarding the riots, did he say they were a myth? Heck, during his last hearing he wasn't even allowed to speak.

    Maybe you could ask your 2,000 libbie friends what suspected crime justified the Flynn persecution? Barr isn't assaulting the rule of law, he's trying to restore it.

    The nut left calls anyone not infected with TDS to be a Trump toady.

    Call me when the other party is the sitting president.... Not sure where they met when Trump told Barr to make Flynn whole...

    It's much worse...these 2 meet in the Oval Office to design their criminal activity.

    I actually posted back in the day that Bill Barr was the best America was going to get from a Trump appointee, based on the fact that Barr had once done the job.

    What a ****ing idiot I was....

    As soon as he uncorks his head from trump’s ass, I’m sure he’ll say something appropriate.
    Barr and Pompeo are forever slimed by being trump’s willing sycophants and throwing their country under the bus.
    They will be trump’s Haldeman and Ehrlichman.

    Barr using the Justice Dept to delay and fight off NY Grand Jury requests for Trump’s tax returns prior to him even becoming President is proof enough, he is serving as his personal attorney, not AG
