Sessions and Lindsey are said to have many of the same friends - if you catch my drift.

Putin's Kompromat rule #3: If it's a sensitive post, make sure to appoint someone over whom you have good kompromat - in case they go rogue.

That said, according to the Times, using the DOJ to spy on Democrats kept going - and no doubt intensified - once Jabba-the Barr took over.

Barr has always been a fan of the imperial presidency and 'total information awareness' - as the Bushes could attest to.
