Not Barr. I don't understand the post. Maybe that Barr and Scalia are one and the same politically. But from what RBG has said, Scalia had some personal honor and a sense of humor. Doubt that is true of Barr.

Barr helped install Fat Tony and a whole lot more of the ilk.




Excerpt...

For the next two years, as chief of the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Coun­sel, Barr played a key role in shaping Rich­ard Thornburgh’s stormy tenure as attorney general. In a job that was essentially politi­cal, he helped maintain the administra­tion’s ideological purity by screening out judicial candidates who weren’t conserva­tive enough. He also drafted two key docu­ments rationalizing the U.S. invasion of Panama and the seizure of General Manuel Noriega.

Either:

1.) Some horrible terminal incurable disease that guarantees that he will not live to see himself tried in a court of law

or

2.) A Ford-like presidential pardon, already signed by Trump, for any illegal acts he is known to have performed, or may have performed while as Attorney General of the United States.
