Bill Barr: The “Cover-Up General”
“At the center of the criticism is the chief artic­ulator of Bush’s imperial presidency,” we reported in 1992, “the man who wrote the legal rationale for the Gulf War, the Panama invasion, and the officially sanctioned kidnapping of foreign nationals abroad.”

Barrs influence on law in our country cannot be understated. Reading this again
makes me see even more his influence in TFG presidency. His fingerprints are everywhere.
What a Bastard.

7. I don't want him anywhere near my mouth, TYVM

I met him once, when he was AG the first time. He was the speaker at a criminal justice event, and I was introduced to him.

I had a gut reaction that I've never forgotten. Something in his aura. Power, malevolence, something that really hit me.

I've only had that spidey sense with a couple of people in my life. Not even Kenneth Starr affected me like that, although he was really creepy and clammy-handed.

10. I find that very interesting. I have had the same reactions at times.

Your gut instincts were trying to tell you something. I think Barr is a very dangerous person
And there is little he wouldn’t do.
