Bill Barr's Not Your Average Trump Stooge. He's 100 Times Worse. Will Democrats Do Anything About It
Bob Mueller found out the hard way that the attorney general isnt the average Trump stooge. Time is running dangerously short, and Democrats still don't get it.

When Bill Barr testifies before the Senate and House Judiciary Committees this week, dont expect to hear the head of The Department of Justice answering questions from a co-equal branch of the American government.
That was the old, boring Washington, where the Attorney General was a guardian of the law and justice, not of Donald Trumps political fortunes.
Bill Barr already showed us his cards with his performances declaring that the Mueller Report had exonerated Donald Trumpwhich the Washington Post reported Tuesday evening were delivered over the strenuous objections of Robert Mueller, who wrote to say that the A.G.'s depiction of his findings failed to capture the context, nature, and substance of the probe.
It took that slap in the face for an experienced prosecutor to finally understand Barr is a bad actor who serves only Trump; Congress has no such excuse.
Barr is not an institutionalist. He is not a constitutionalist. He is a weapon crafted to protect and serve Donald Trump, using the protective coloration of a dull bureaucrat to carry out Dear Leaders slow-motion subversion of the Republic.
