Full title: Joe Scarborough: Barr Will Never Get His Reputation Back, "Bizarre" That Presidents Pick Their Own Attorney General

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough continued his criticism of Attorney General William Barr on Thursday morning's edition of "Morning Joe," saying that Barr's behavior with regard to the Mueller report may make him "the person responsible for a change in the way we choose our attorney generals."

"It seems bizarre at this point that a president should be able to select their own attorney general," Scarborough said. "Who can decide how the investigations are run against them, who can decide which political enemies gets prosecuted, who can decide which political allies don't get prosecuted, can decide what corporations don't get prosecuted. I mean, the fact that -- I mean, Donald Trump has shown us actually a flaw, a significant flaw in our constitutional system of checks and balances. This is not the way America is supposed to run."

6 min long video clip on total spin, as per usual Scarborough/Mika duet.

"Very Bizarre" that how a normal government function (Presidents pick their own AG) enjoyed by all of Trump's predecessors now is "a breach of norms. ... We've seen the breaching of norms for the past two years, and political norms"

All because Orange Man Bad.

Only if you think the sole purpose of the attorney general is to help in the framing of a President you don’t like. What I find more bizarre is that a guy who was involved in a scandal involving a dead woman in his office has a tv show.

Ya, Obama and most of his cabinet would be in prison now if we had an objective AG.
