Barr is gaslighting

Last edited Wed Feb 19, 2020, 12:34 PM - Edit history (1)

He's completely loyal to Trump to the point of treason and lawlessness.
This so-called story is just him trying to make it look like he has any scruples or independence, he doesn't

Barr is not going anywhere. He's all in with his strategy to circumvent the law to help trump's criminal partners. He can't turn back. I think he knows he's already lost his reputation and probably his law license when he leaves the DOJ. He has nothing to lose at this point.

...the people keeping Trump in office because he's delivering on the Movement Conservative wet dream of deregulation, wrecking the Federal government, and stuffing the courts full of ideologically-conservative operatives.

Same optics, but different "under the hood" motivations. Except where the hood is white and pointy.

He and the fucking moron are a match made in Hell. Moscow Mitch is the the glue binding these two unAmerican monsters together.

So Barr can create the image that he's independent from Trump.

It's all about the illusion of ethics. Barr hasn't been able to find his for decades.
He'll do whatever it takes to support the president.

Let's be absolutely clear on this:

The "job" Barr does is the bidding of Donald Trump, transforming our rule of law into into the rule of a criminal authoritarian.
