We’re living in a world where the bar is so low that “even someone as dumb as Christie could see how much of a criminal enterprise my family is” is a disqualifying factor. Where does that leave Barr?

This is bad news for those Christie employees who have a case before SCOTUS next year. No GOP pass for you!
