Attorney General Bill Barr plans to remain in his post and won’t resign early unless President Donald Trump moves to oust him, a Department of Justice official told Bloomberg News in a report published Thursday.
With Barr, always look for the wording, and the wording’s possible interpretations.
Bill Barr: “I’m standing by My Man until the end of the term … or when he issues the pardon he promised me … whichever comes first.”
You bet Billy…hang in there…
So this is the mountain of All-You-Can-Eat-Breadsticks on which Barr has chosen to die?

donnnnnnnn’t caaaaaaaaaare
“…(Trump) also complained that the attorney general, who he has often called on to do his political bidding, hadn’t “looked very hard” to find the kind of fraud that his campaign has falsely claimed.”
Sounds right. After all, Barr only had 93 US Attorneys across the country looking out for it.
Took him a few days to clear that up, didn’t it.
Barr was told by Trump he could stay so long as he retracted his “no fraud” assertion and joined the “Stop the Steal” crowd. Look for it, soon.
IMO if he was going for the steal he never would have stated there was no fraud. I think he can keep the shredders at the DOJ and White House running while he’s still there, with a possible pardon angle.
That said, I’m only going to fully exhale once Barr’s completely away from the White House. As Trump’s most effective lackey, the biggest threat to this democracy is him still in charge of the DOJ. And even though we don’t live in a country where the rich and powerful are held to account, standing next to Trump when Trump loses power is still the worst place for Barr to be standing.
I’ll believe Biden is President when he’s done being sworn in. Until then there’s always a chance the crazy will prevail.
Barr does not know what a man is if he is standing by Trump.
Oh dear.
Shift happens. Believe Barr at your peril.
Again, I’m struggling to find a downside in that tweet.
and what he left out.
Yes, it is evading scrutiny, and, to a bigger end, all about keeping this never-ending Retrumplican Party PR stunt sucking up all the oxygen in the media air. So nobody looks at the bigger, more criminal matters that we might be looking at.
Is this the final payment for a pardon?
