In other words, Drumpf finally got his Roy Cohn.
That is my take as well. Barr is the dirty dealer we thought he would be.
Is Barr hinting that he thinks the 5th Circuit will reverse the district court on Obamacare? Hmmm.
“Do you think it’s likely we’re going to prevail?” Barr responded.
“If you think it’s such an outrageous position, you have nothing to worry about,” he added. “Let the courts do their job.”
Seriously, what lawyer says this? Is this another example of saying the quiet part out loud?
Lawyer A to Partner B: “Yeah, we both know this case is a loser but the guy’s got deep pockets so Kaching!”
Client: “Are you talking about me?”
What is the over/under on Barr’s redacted version being longer than his four page summary that is not a summary but rather a statement of “principal conclusions”?
Here’s the abbreviated summary - lies,lies,lies,yeah.
He is uncomfortably smug.

He has a history of betraying Special Prosecutor investigations.
Barr is conducting a master’s class in stonewalling, obfuscation and misdirection. It is folly to rely upon him to select what Congress and the public are entitled to know. He is a partisan and should have recused himself from any decision making on the results of the Mueller report based on his public prejudgment of the principal issues related to obstruction.
It amazes me to read Lawfare types praise his lawyerly skills. Looking and acting like a crook are not positive attributes!
I’m just a country lawyer, but if Barr showed the report to the White House, doesn’t that undercut any claim of grand jury secrecy? I mean, that case that came out last week seemed to limit the scope of disclosure to the explicit terms of Fed R. Crim Pro 6(e), and last I checked “the White House” isn’t in there.
Nixon 1960, Goldwater 1964 and Nixon 1968 were the GOP junior high school years
Watergate, Iran-Contra and Gingrich 1994 were their senior years.
Each step they come up with new trick to escape consequences of their corruption and misdeeds.
The face and demeanor of a criminal.
Information pertaining to… un-indicted “peripheral players” will be redacted…
Like Trump. And Trump, Jr. And Jarvanka. And anyone else you’ve ever even heard of.
Evil Fred Flintstone.
Some who have worked with him describe him as very capable, and also as a pompous ass. Not mutually exclusive.
Do these glasses make my head look fat?
After next week, time to hear from Mueller!
That said, it does not excuse the fact that Barr is serving INDIVIDUAL1 and not the American People = Derelict of Duty!
ICYMI: In 1992, Barr was referred to as COVER-UP General Barr!
The American People needs an Attorney General to protect their right to have healthcare, not a Cover-Up General Barr!
