“Responsible watchdogs”, folks who will go along with the Trump administrations criminal activities. FIFY. Anyone who stays in this administration is complicit in these crimes.

I’d say Barr is making Barr look more like Roy Cohn.
There’s nothing wrong with Barr’s legal ability, it’s the moral thing that’s the issue.
