Bill Barr is Trumps new fixer and hell do his best to save his boss from the growing Ukraine scandal
During normal times, Donald Trumps attempted extortion of the Ukrainian government, aimed at forcing an investigation against one of his chief political opponents would almost immediately become the purview of the attorney general, who would again, during normal times appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the allegations. After all, the president attempted to use taxpayer money and the weight of the federal government to force Ukraines newly elected president to help Trumps re-election campaign: This was a flagrant abuse of power, a flagrant attempt at bribery and extortion, and absolutely an indictment- or impeachment-worthy trespass.
Making matters worse, Trump has literally confessed to the charges on several occasions, while staring directly into video cameras, daring the rest of us to finally cuff him.
But these arent normal times, nor do we have a normal attorney general.

(82,849 posts)We all saw what happened to Trump's last fixer, Michael Cohen. William Barr might consider paying Cohen a little visit and asking Cohen how it's all working out for him.
