Anyone else see this yet? C’mon man, this should be easy stuff to avoid.
Barr is also WEAK on the 2nd.
That goes hand in hand with defending Ruby Ridge snipers. This is NOT the guy we want.
I was reading this about Barr last week, not the sort of Muppet I want in that position.
Unless doing something unethical, you can’t judge a lawyer for defending shitty clients. Get ahold of yourselves, this is still America.
On the other issue we are stuck between a rock and a hard place. We need an AG that is respected, by the book, and ready to hit the ground running. If we don’t clean up the mess there it’s going to devolve into permanent 3rd world status.
The AG’s position on the 2nd is far less of a concern than his position on the 5th.
I thought he also drafted 922(r) when he was in Congress.
Why on Earth would he at his age and resume decide he wants to work for Trump? No one wants to work for Trump and no one gets an easy ride. Well ok, not no one, but certainly not anyone that has a successful history. The only reason he would want this position is to take down Trump. It just makes no sense and Trump knows it makes no sense… which makes even less sense.
There is a big something missing in this Barr picture.
If that is correct, he should not only be excluded from the AG position but also ridiculed for being a moron.
I don’t believe William Barr was ever a Congressman.
I get that, but it doesn’t mean you get to be AG. If he defended Eric Rudoph we wouldn’t even be talking about him.
These people are all such chameleons, remember The Keebler Elve ’ Sessions’ ?
Respected by Who? By which book? If the book is something like the Federalist papers we know that person won’t be respected by devotees of the plethora of laws that counter those promises.
No reason to not be discerning.
I think a good example of being leery on that is John Adams who defended the Boston Massacre soldiers and then went on to jail anyone critical of him while president.
We have a huge population and a lot of good people so no reason to play with questionable.
Yet more 9600 Dimensional Chess I see…
He is basically Q playing chess man

After this one quits or gets run out of town for having a glimmer of integrity, he’ll pick the one that “really” works for him. Actually this one will likely stay. Hating freedom and an annoyance with the bill of rights will fit right in.
Remember, he’s a great businessman, and the best businessmen spend seventy-five percent of their contract stomping on dicks and firing people which sets the company up for real and lasting success.
Having read his book, when I cut deals, I like to create a situation where there is no incentive to negotiate with me and every incentive to fight me at every corner. Only when the despise you and you’ve proven yourself incompetent do the prices drop and the terms become fantastic. Great success 101 man.
Trump is being slowly assimilated by the Deep State Collective.
I just want to go on record as saying I will never, never trust anyone associated with either Bush Administration. There are plenty of conservative lawyers out there who support Trump that would be better AGs. Joseph Digenova is one.
Same here. The Bush’s don’t like Trump. Jenna Bush has been part of the NBC team for years and is trying to get the position for replacing one of the retiring 1 hour shows staff.
This choice just makes no sense.
I don’t want someone to like Trump or dislike Trump. I want someone who will impartially apply the Law.
The fact never Trumpers dislike him because he doesn’t fit their narrative of Trump only hiring yes men, and Trumpers dislike him for not being a Trump supporter, is a good sign to me.
I don’t want the Trump version of Loretta Lynch.
Normally I would agree with you, like Gorsuch and Kavanaugh perhaps, but something just seems off about Barr.
You don’t want an AG that’s hiding an agenda either way and the only thing that it seems to me is that some agenda is present surrounding Barr. I’m not sure whose agenda, or what agenda, or if there are multiple agendas… something just seems wrong. I’m not saying the AG needs to be a yes man but blind, righteous justice would be nice. I just am not getting that feeling.
