Three prominent news outlets reported this morning, citing unnamed administration officials, that the attorney general is mulling resigning over President Trump’s tweets about the Roger Stone case.
BREAKING: Trump fires Pence, via Twitter, says he needs to spend more time with Mother.
Barr is quitting the Justice Department to spend more time with the Constitution.
I had totally forgotten about Dr. Zachary Smith. Prefect GOP metaphor
Barr is a liar. Barr should be impeached. Barr is a threat to constitutional democracy. Barr is a crook. Yeah. Yeah.
What Barr really is, it turns out, is a drama queen.
Why are Dems. giving this Barr B.S. air? This is just a continuation of the cover-up. Putin is destroying American institutions and using American born traitors to do it. That is all we should be talking about. The rest is a distraction.
And here I thought it was exactly the opposte.
Barr is mulling the word ‘mulling’.
He’s mulling about mulling over it. He’s a thoughtful man, that one.
The the aggressive overt actions at the top of DOJ for the political and financial gain of Trump and his allies for political/economic reasons are out in the open now. Regardless of his denials, Barr has also signed on to either coopting or tearing out practical impartiality from DOJ’s professional bureaucracy.
Trump and Barr’s success to date in shifting DOJ from “Deep State” to “Trump State” can be measured or put in context. Am curious as to how much turnover has occurred in the DOJ’s line attorney and professionals corp since Trump took over? Would also like to know how much of the HR function has been politicized and if political litmus tests are now being applied during the hiring process. Lastly, am curious about how many are employed at DOJ today vs. at the start of Trump’s administration.
There must be many other ways to quantify and qualify the changes that have taken place throughout DOJ since Jan 2017 to better understand how far the organization has shifted away from supporting the constitution and toward supporting Trump. The same thing can be said for every other Federal agency and department.
Barr’s Saving Face
No, there’s nothing to save. I have a feeling that Barr’s behavior has exposed him as being so obviously corrupt that even most right wing organizations will wish to distance themselves from him when this is over. Not because they don’t like what he’s doing, they simply won’t want to show any public approval of his actions. Barr will be left to fend for himself if he either leaves Trump this year or Trump loses in November. Either way, I see a bleak future for him.
Three prominent corporate news outlets … FIFY
Barr is almost certainly lying – he just wants Trump to stop interfering w/ his massacre of justice in the USA – but this has become a necessary qualifier given the habit of for-profit media* repeating propaganda and gaslighting in headlines and ledes.
NB: Everyone knows headlines are broken. Here’s how news organizations can start fixing them.
Yeah, and of all the faces to save, why that one?
Barr is a multimillionaire, and like most of his peers, he is doing just fine these days. His only disagreement with Trump is that he likes to do his dirty work in the shadows, whereas Trump likes the whole world to see what he is doing. Barr’s public efforts to try to rein in Trump’s excesses are as false as Susan Collins’ concern trolling. These people don’t give a shit about anything except their own personal power. They are empty vessels made out of vanity and greed.
And, as I asked on another thread: What difference would it make if Barr resigns at this point? Not trying to be snarky…
Can’t draw but maybe someone can.
“This is Barr’s brain. This is Barr’s brain on Trump.”
Mulled whine.
Heh, is this some way of signaling that the GOP is looking to move towards the center, or that it’s just screwing it over? (Elephant humps RINO.)
