IT'S "SAVE A$$" TIME - BILL BARR

I think that Bill Barr (age 69), Attorney General,*  should start being more careful.  Remember George Mitchell, President Nixon's Attorney General who went to jail.  I don't know why Barr took it upon himself to protect President Trump from himself.**  Barr had seemed to be a rather respected Attorney General the last time he held the position in the George H.W. Bush's Presidency (Bush-41), though that is not my opinion.  I'm not sure that saving Trump from himself includes going to jail for him, but if Barr isn't more careful, and that could happen.

Barr was known to promote increased incarceration.  Why would he come back to save an, ahem, crook from his crooked ways?  His belief in increased incarceration did not apply to Republican politicians.  Back in the Bush-41 period,  New York Times writer William Safire began to refer to Barr as "Coverup-General Barr.*

Like so many of Donald Trump's appointments, it also may have spiritual roots.

Barr seems to be uncomfortable with things like secular government, church-state separation, religious pluralism and indeed the realities of modern life.**

But William Barr continues his A$$ Kissing by reserving a grand party facility at the Trump Washington Internation Hotel (where Trump is in violation of his lease with the government).***

I would guess that Bill Barr will be remembered, at best, for being President Trump's errand boy as he is running all over the world trying to promote Trump's fallacies.****
Think about that for a moment. The attorney general of the United States is personally chasing shadows and phantoms around the world to try to prove that the CIA secretly tried to sabotage the campaign of the current president of the United States. Yet somehow the spooks kept it all under wraps until after the election, at which point they launched an investigation to cripple him. Why they would have done all this is unclear. It's not as if the intelligence agencies haven't worked for Republicans before.****

But Barr is not alone.  Consider Pompeo.
