Fuck. Bill. Barr.

Fuck Bill Barr and his play to rehabilitate his reputation. If he'd hadn't helped TFG spin out of Russia-gate and otherwise do his bidding as AG we might not be dealing with all this shit now.

5. Remember Barr's 19 page memo to the former guy
Wed Sep 7, 2022, 06:25 PM
Sep 2022

Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III was on his way out, having worn out his welcome for being in sufficiently appreciative of the former guy's unique administration of his office. Letting little things like ethical considerations, and black letter law get in the way of what the former guy wanted. Not every time, of course, but often enough that the former guy grew disenchanted with the little Jiminy Cricket wannabe.

So Bill Barr, long time scofflaw behind the scenes of so many sordid episodes in our nation's history, wrote a 19 page memo that demonstrated he wasn't quite so constrained as AG Sessions by niggling questions of law in pursuit of whatever the former guy wanted this week. And so Bill Barr was named AG, ready to run the Department of Justice as Donald Trump's personal law firm, and the client was never presented a bill. Heaven for Donald!

Now Bill would like it a lot if everyone would forget all that craven sucking up, weaselly testimony at congressional hearings, and the rest of it. Can Bill speak now? He needs to remind everyone of just how smart he can be.

trying to hone down the edges on his story and I can’t stand it. F him. F all of them especially the ones, like Barr, who came in later. They knew who and what they were dealing with. “Control him”? like Kelly said? NO. Screw them. All of them.

He's afraid that Tr**p can still bring him down and he'll get sucked into Tr**p's downfall.

He's trying to rally some support by trying to make people believe that he's come to the other side.

But Tr**p will get him cause everything Tr**p touches dies. Barr's career will die.

what he’s saying tells us tfg’s sun is setting, and soon. Barr wants to be relevant for the next GOP autocrat, and can only do that by not swirling around and down the drain with TFG and his entourage of rats who won’t be so lucky.

Barr has the Catholic opus dei/right wing philosophy of the end justifies the means. To Barr any method (ethical or unethical) of getting Roe overturned was acceptable. He got it, so the slobfather goes under the bus. He's no longer useful. So one rat eating another rat is OK by me. Barr maybe trying to rehabilitate himself, but - fuck him - it ain't gonna work. He's just one rat ratting out another.

Which makes it all the more galling that he has chosen political expediency over justice and democracy when the occasion called for it.

He knows the difference between right and wrong, and he chooses wrong.

He is vying for the Master Review job so he can protect trump again. If he looks like he is sick of trump, he will say he is the best one to review the docs. Yea Fuck him, and he DID say he does not want any indictments Against trump. It would hurt the country. Fuck that obese toad.

coming forwards now, after aiding and abetting Trump for years can only mean one thing. They are running scared of getting dragged into colluding with Trump iif Turmp really is prosecuted.

I would get writers cramp listing all the Republicans I can remember that colluded to bring down our government.

They all had time of their lives, but now don't want to be held accountable for their felony illegal acts

He's basically signaling to the appellate judges that the Federalist wing of the party (which he represents) won't mind if they reverse Cannon's order.
