Uh huh. There's an article in THE ATLANTIC that gives an angle on Barr I hadn't considered. I'd been thinking he's just one more Trump sycophant. "The Dangerous Ideas of Bill Barr" suggests that he's not a truckling minion, not an invertebrate trembling with fear at the thought of displeasing his orange master. Instead, he's motivated, he's a fanatic, a man who genuinely believes the President should be unaccountable, above the law, that Presidential power should be increased and centralized until the other branches of government essentially cannot check him. And he's going balls out to bring that state of affairs about.If he succeeds …Starting to look to me as if the only sure way to get rid of the orange wannabe tyrant is to vote him out of office in 2020 so resoundingly that no-one sane can doubt he was removed according to Hoyle. For that to happen all attempts at voter suppression should -- must be -- harshly and sharply nipped in the bud, and all possible ways to assist legitimate voters to reach the polls and cast their ballots should be employed. Forestall further Russian meddling? Of course. But it ain't gonna be the Trump administration that does so.Impeach and/or indict William Barr too, if you want America to remain America. Steve Mnuchin into the bargain. I'm no legal expert, but isn't there legitimate cause that Trump and Barr can't override?Maybe not. In which case -- oh, shit.
