In the spirit of, "Be Careful what you wish for." William Barr spent his entire professional life interjecting himself into the debate of the power of the executive branch. He was all for it. He was convinced that a president welded far more power than what was conventionally accepted. And then, Trump entered into his life. And, Barr finally got to see the error of his reasoning. Because now he's the one who has to explain just how loco, LOCO it was for Trump to have this much power.
So sweet.

The only benefit I will ever get from this is the fact that I will (probably) outlive him and (hopefully) see a better government evolve because of his evil fuckery for the last 40 years.
Is that enough to make this all worthwhile? I don't know.

Hillary won the popular vote by over two percentage points.
