I guess this is so obvious that no one wants to mention it,

1. :) You found some Dems who trusted Bill Barr's integrity?

When he was well known to "believe" the president should have near absolute authority, effectively promising to help carry out an INTERIOR COUP if he was appointed, which he could use to advance his own famous Christian extremism? Hoping he wouldn't be as bad as feared and would be okay, waiting to see, is not the same as believing he would.

As for the imaginary reaction to Cannon, to me it's both too obvious to bother imagining, but also too insulting. Democratic presidents don't appoint Aileen Cannons. That's basic. Goes right to why we're here and not over on Free Republic or Truth Social.
