William Barr's donations to Senate Republicans spiked just before they confirmed him as AG

[EleanorR]

Barr’s ramped up contributions took place over a 5-month period from October 2018 to February 2019 and were substantially different than his prior giving to the NRSC, according to Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings. In the past Barr gave sporadically, once in 2009 and 2011, twice in 2014, one contribution in 2015, and another in 2016. Then, Jeff Sessions’ tenure as attorney general got rocky, and Barr started giving regularly. He donated on a schedule, providing $10,000 every month to the NRSC, on the third of the month, starting in October. That continued until he was confirmed on Feb. 14, 2019, just 11 days after his last contribution.

1. Barr and the rethuglicons are so damn corrupt.

2. The company that mismanages Trump concentration camps for Hispanics donated plenty to Trump...

Now, their employees do not have to pass reasonable background checks. It's child-molester heaven, where children - including US born citizens - lack the right to sue. There is little or no government oversight at these camps.

3. Private prison industry stocks shot up after the election...

10. Barr does not give a single f**k

He thinks that he's untouchable, and so far he has been. Whatever happens, he certainly has secured a spot in the history books. Hopefully we'll get to write them.
