Who does Barr think he's fooling?


Rachel Maddow
@maddow
Forgive me, but Mr. Barr cannot be complaining that he is being bullied by the president.

He happily intervened in cases of interest to the president, to the president's benefit, to the point where prosecutors resigned in protest.

What he feels bullied by is the backlash to it.



NOW: WH official says administration is crafting a "statement" after AG Bill Barr said @realDonaldTrump tweets about Roger Stone are making it hard for him to do his job.

The utter contempt #FixerBarr has for US right here:
"Barr pushes back against Trump’s criticism of Justice Dept., says tweets ‘make it impossible for me to do my job"

Who does he think he's fooling?

He's been an obsequious @GOP TOAD-Y for over 40yrs

and if he does, try to gauge the authenticity of his anger, to see if this is a phony, staged quarrel or something more serious.

Seppuku is a little drastic and pretty much final; but you HAVE tarnished your name for all time, so you can weigh that one...

The easy out for you is to RESIGN, RUN and HIDE for the rest of you days, because after the shit head you are so slavishly servicing like a $5 Thai prostitute turns on you, there won't be any other better options left for you...

“Dude, don’t tell everyone!” That he’s doing Trump’s bidding and is ok with that is pretty much confirmed at this point.

and he is. Well maybe they're not fooled but they're all on board with what's going on. This is just the kind of shit they tell themselves to justify it.
