Remember, William Barr subscribes to the same theory of extreme presidential power as Dick Cheney.

And he's using it on behalf of Trump, just as Cheney used it on behalf of Bush 43 and Barr himself previously used it on behalf of Bush 41.

"The Donald" has found his Dick Cheney....or as he would say, his Roy Cohn. And we should all be very afraid of that.

If absolute power corrupts absolutely, then what happens when you put absolute power in the hands of the absolutely corrupt?
