For quite a while almost all of the pundits, and even a few on Daily Kos and in the Democratic Party, have been talking nonsense about AG William Barr torching his supposed reputation as an honest, upright “institutionalist”. For example, here is Kossack Aldous Pennyfarthing.
Washington Post: 'Barr has lit his reputation on fire'
Lying Republican liars like Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham lying out of both sides of their mouths at the same time do not in any way surprise me, of course.
If Barr had somehow just done his job, maybe public opinion would have left him alone. Well, no, Trump would have gone after him in that case. But noooooooo, Barr had to go and shoot off his word processor and provoke people to the most trivial level of digging into his record, which nobody in the Village thought to do before.
This is not breaking news. I am writing about it today, and calling attention to others who have done so, because I am fed up. I want Barr held in contempt of Congress. I want him impeached.
Also, I want the arguments in one place so I can link to them all at once.
