Remember when William Barr couldn't answer this question?

1. I am trying to grapple with the word suggest.

[BSdetect]

2. He gives me the creeps. Watch him get mangled in the coming shitstorm.

[calimary]

9. One can only hope!

[Grasswire2]

24. I met Barr once in D.C. when he was AG the first time.

I had an instant reaction I've never had to anyone else. His smug sense of his own power was really off-putting. I felt wary.

3. I'm trying to grapple with the word asshole.

[Pachamama]

4. That as well

8. +1

10. +1

18. No "grappling" needed.

Just take a look at anyone in this administration or the leaders of the gop. The entire crew are assholes, led by the largest one EVER - tRump

[usaf-vet]

21. Let me take a shot at it. Any and all in this photo would fit the term asshole.

[BKDem]

22. It's a fine start...

5. Short answer to his grapple ...

It was an ORDER not a SUGGESTION.

[NewJeffCT]

12. Right

He wasn't asked to open an investigation, and it wasn't suggested - he was flat out told "you will open an investigation into Hillary Clinton"

[spanone]

6. This guy is a fucking criminal

[dalton99a]

20. He really is.

[ancianita]

7. Hey, toady, try grappling with "special counsel." You're now among the usual suspects.

[lastlib]

11. He's pretty damn stoopid to be an attorney general, don'tcha think?

pretty damn corrupt to be an attorney general, too!

13. he's corrupt AF

but, I don't think he's stupid at all.

[Pepsidog]

15. A religious zealot, an American Taliban. He needs to be disbarred, at the very least.

[oasis]

14. "Grapple" my ass!

[progressoid]

16. Technically, Trump may not have asked Barr himself to investigate...

although Barr is probably still in the loop with all this shit.

[uponit7771]

17. K&R, he said he didn't know that was a lie

[Grammy23]

19. I'm eager to see how all of these latest scandals play out

for Deputy Dawg. Things just get better and better for those of us who have kept up, although I admit keeping up is not easy. Thank goodness for people like Rachel Maddow who keeps digging and researching and then knocking our socks off like she did last night. I would love to see her put Deputy Dawg on the witness chair and look at him over the top of her glasses. Bwahaha. Watch him squirm. .

23. the cartoon image of Deputy Dawr really is an amazing likeness to Barr. nt

[coti]

25. He always reminds me of what Jesse Pinkman said about Saul Goodman...

"When the going gets tough, you don't want a criminal lawyer....you want a CRIMINAL...lawyer...know what I'm sayin?"

26. I've seen it before...........

I'm watching an older TV show (Hell on Wheels) that is about the growth of the US and how railroads helped that happen.
At one point they have a carpetbagger "governor" and his crew/staff trying to take control of a new US Territory. The new "governor" is needing some "strong-arm" support and takes a murderer out of jail and makes him the new marshal in the town.

Do you see the parallel there? A professional thief hires a criminal to do his dirty work for him.

Hmmmmmm - why is that making me thinking of something I've seen lately.........................

Spoiler Alert!

In case you're thinking about watching that series, just sayin' - the "new marshal" gets his - he goes down hard! (Oh, that it could happen again.................).
