re: #256 goddamnedfrank

The thing that truly alarms me is that Barr is NOT a stupid man. There’s no way in hell he wanted to publicly own such a patently corrupt miscarriage of justice. The fact that he actually did it out in the open like this testament to how utterly fucking out of control Trump’s tantrums have become.

Once Trump screeched on Twitter, there was no real way for Barr to get out of the way of that train wreck. He’s tried to thread the needle by mumbling excuses for following Trump’s orders while making a feeble attempt to show “independence,” but the reality is that the wannabe mob boss gave an order and the caporegime complied.
