Shortened title.

Full title: Trump's pick for new attorney general is 'best friends' with Robert Mueller who was a guest at his daughters' weddings - and their wives share a Bible study

The incoming chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee said Wednesday that Attorney General nominee William Barr has confidence in special counsel Robert Mueller and will let him complete his Russia investigation.

South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham said after meeting with Barr, who led the Justice Department under President George H.W. Bush, that Barr has a 'high opinion' of Mueller. Barr was spending most of Wednesday on Capitol Hill, meeting senators on the committee before his confirmation hearing next week.

'He had absolutely no indication he was going to tell Bob Mueller what to do or how to do it,' Graham said.

Graham said Barr told him that he has a high opinion of Rod Rosenstein, the current deputy attorney general who has so far overseen the Mueller investigation and is expected to leave office if Barr is confirmed.

Sometimes it seems that Washington D.C. is the smallest town in the country.

Now we know why Rosenstein feels comfortable enough to retire. Barr will continue the coverup.

Mama always told me “swampy is as swampy does.”

Barr has admitted he’s one of ‘them’ and will comport himself accordingly. Not good.

It’s just one big club, looking out only for itself, and you ain’t in it.

Is there no one on Trump’s staff capable of basic research?

“Why would Trump pick this loser?”

IMO, Trump really isn’t in control of anything and he may literally be under the gun.

Our fed govt is irreparably corrupt and illegitimate. Scary times ahead.

“’best friends’ with Robert Mueller”

Does this mean he must recuse himself from overseeing Mueller?

So Barr should have said that he hates Rosenstein and would fire Mueller as soon as he’s in office? That’s going to get him more Republican votes from the few so called moderate wing of the republicans in the Senate? Btw should he just say that he’s there to get Hillary too?

Exactly. This pick is disgusting. Anyone who likes and respects Mueller is a scumbag.

Turn DC into a national historical park and begin building a new capital in a minimalist remote location like where the Colorado, Wyoming and Nebraska borders meet.

They can use one of those irrigation crop circles to mark the boundaries. Anything which doesn't fit in the circle can work from a satellite location to be distributed evenly over flyover country.

Whoever suggested such a pick and possibly hid his information
Is in my opinion committing treason and should be dealt with accordingly.

Schemer Schumer said he would oppose Barr. A head fake by Schumer? No wonder Trump has trouble trusting anyone.

Mueller’s wife believes in the Bible? The only bible for deep state is the satanic bible.

Maybe this kind of stuff is dis-info to get Trump to pull the nomination or not fight for Barr. I wish Trump could just get someone outside the swamp. But the problem with that is an outsider won’t know where to find the dead bodies.
