Walter Shaub seems to think Barr planted the story of his reaction to being lumped in with Giuliani

[Leghorn21]

”Barr... was “surprised and angry” to discover he had been
lumped in with Giuliani."
Once you're lumped in with Trump, nothing
should surprise you.”


”Julia, I suspect the anonymous source's original statement
went something like this: "When I heard about this—I
mean when Bill, who is not me, heard. When Bill, who
is a different person, heard about this, I immediately—I
mean HE immediately, I was told, said 'I am mad.' So mad."

1. Sorry. Barr's reputation has been carved in stone

And it's not good

2. Too late Criminal Barr

suck it up asshole . . .

[RockRaven]

3. Yup. Total horseshit, apparently face-saving; as such likely to be from Barr or people close to him.

Shame on journalists for carrying water for people like Barr who try to dodge accountability for their decisions with "anonymous" spin.

10. Sessions must find some comfort in Barr's situation

In spite of all the things Sessions did to legally carry out Trumps agenda, Trump insulted and ridiculed Sessions many times. Sessions had given up his super safe Senate seat to be attorney general and I don’t think the Alabama Repugs want him to run for it now. But at least he isn’t in danger of going to jail

11. Keystone Barr.

[EveHammond13]
