I hope Barr remembered to bring his knee pads and Chapstick for all the extra ass-kissing he needed to do.

…Ummmmmm… If a source has to deny that something that would not normally happen in a professional setting happened, that’s pretty solid evidence that it did happen.

Barr was trying to tamp down the allegations of voter fraud because he’s freaking out about the two upcoming Senate races in Georgia.

Good luck with that mother scratchers.

What is with these people? By people, I mean the entire Republican Party. Why are these individuals being treated differently from a normal citizen.

Where is the FBI? The Department of Homeland Security? These are threats to this country and the rules that govern our actions. How can any Republican remain silent? Enough already.

a source said that the President was not screaming at the attorney general.

“No, he wasn’t, uh, screaming. He was, uh, uh, expressing his displeasure forcefully. Yeah that’s it, displeasure forcefully.”

“Whew!”

It had to happen sooner or later. Unless you’re Hope Hicks or Iwanker Trump you can’t deny the King. I really wish Trump would fire Barr but he won’t.

vigorously pursue all specific and credible allegations of fraud

I take that as confirmation that the DoJ has, in fact, “concluded its investigation of election fraud and announced an affirmative finding of no fraud.”

However, Barr didn’t just meet with Meadows while on White House grounds.

Oh really? What else did he do with Meadows?

Barr is trying to get fired as his statement to AP was the only arguably “honorable” (using the term very loosely) thing he has done. Ever.
He is essentially unemployable other than by Opus Dei. He is banking on people remembering only this kerfuffle and his having for once said something remotely true.

While everyone’s obsessing over whether Barr will get fired (he won’t), we’re all missing the real news.

They didn’t meet. And if they did, they definitely didn’t scream. Totally normal thing to say

There won’t be a room where it happens.

It would be by tweet.

But at this point Low Barr may be more politically powerful than the traitortot.

Barr may not be going anywhere.
