It's too late to save yourself now, Bill Barr
For Bill Barr, its too little, too late.
In my news colleagues latest scoop, The Posts Matt Zapotosky, Josh Dawsey and Carol Leonnig report that the attorney general declined to fulfill President Trumps request that he publicly exonerate Trumps perfect call with Ukraines president following several actions recently in which the Justice Department has sought some distance from the White House.
Right. Like a barnacle seeks distance from a whale.
The distancing maneuver is plainly an attempt by those sympathetic to Barr to make him look a bit less like the presidents mob lawyer done anonymously so that Trump wouldnt rage at Barr but instead blame the degenerate Post, as he did Thursday. But Barr has sealed his fate. As Trumps impeachment looms, Barr has degraded the office Elliot Richardson once dignified. Barr has turned the Justice Department into a shield for presidential misconduct and a sword wielded against political opponents.
