Yeah, Sessions was a reconstituted Confederate planter and Whitaker was as dumb as a bag of rocks...

But both of them were smart enough to jump ship before they ended up looking like the reincarnation of John Mitchell.

Barr is far too deviously clever for his own good. He’s painting himself into a corner as Trump’s sycophant, from which he’ll find it hard to escape. Were he to resign tomorrow, he might have a chance to save his own bacon. If not, he’s doomed himself and whatever is left of his paltry reputation to an ignominious posterity.

Like so many other fools, he has trusted Donald Trump to his own professional and personal peril.

If he’ll remain at his post, serving as Trump’s Praetorian Guard, he’ll most likely end up doing time. It couldn’t happen to a better toady.

He’s clearly to close to the swamp sucking him under to have a comprehensive perspective of his own perilous predicament.
