So Everyone Is Surprised By How Barr Is Acting Now?

I'm calling BS on that, he has always been a manipulating lawbreaker. Just look how Iran Contra got buried under him and everyone got off Scot free. They've either been blind or willfully ignorant. Such a shock... is what they are now saying, he used to be so distinguished. Blah, blah, blah.

and I think back to all the good people who have endorsed him, and many of them are good and honest, and wonder where the disconnect was.

I had a tiny spark of hope before he was installed, because people said he was a personal friend of Mueller's and that Mueller was a straight shooter who cared about institutions. Yeah, none of that was really...what's the word...true.

Now, I expect each and every one of them to be cowardly, dishonest, and irretrievably corrupt.

tRUMP, every word they speak or print and their every action indicts them in their shared criminality
and corruption. It's obvious that Barr fears the Law and those that serve/wield it.
