Is he a eGOP RINO ?? ----

So far he is, but I heard he mumbled/wimpered a few years ago that some of Hillary's skulduggery should be investigated.

BUT, HE'LL DO NOTHING. I CAN TELL BY LOOKING AT HIM.

Put together a list of the ten most names you've seen posted by Freepers as ideal AG candidates . Every one of them was a thousand times worse than this guy.

One of his trademarks in the GHWB administration was his strong advocacy for an independent executive branch of the U.S. government.

It’s hard to believe Trump would fire Sessions just to appoint another lifetime Beltway lawyer. ----

He did.

Hey, I love the President, and I hold out hope that he has a very sneaky, GOOD reason to hire THIS STIFF!

Bush boy. No justice. No Country. Trump caved.
~~~
Why would he?

Seems to me, this single decision has to be one of the very most important that he can personally make if he believes the art still large portions of the DoJ that are not functioning outside of the partisan realm.

If he is caving on this, then it’s over. I don’t believe Trump has conceded.

“This is an unmitigated disaster, the very worst news I have seen in a long, long time.”

Yup.

Why even bother after this.

Barr got his start in Reagan’s first years as a White House advisor on legal matters in the White House policy office. Points for that.

From Wikipedia:

"
Immigration

As deputy attorney general, Barr successfully challenged a proposed rule by the Department of Health and Human Services to allow people with HIV/AIDS into the United States.[20] He also advocated the use of Guantanamo Bay to prevent Haitian refugees and HIV infected peoples from claiming asylum in the United States.[21]

Social issues Barr has stated that he believed the constitution was not originally intended to create a right to abortion; that Roe v. Wade was thus wrongly decided; and that abortion should be a "legitimate issue for state legislators".[9]"

Yep. Even worse, he goes back to the Bush/CIA drug-running and other corruption through Latin America back decades ago, then was Poppy’s last AG.

I mean, this guy sailed through confirmation back in ‘92 (never a good sign) and was publicly pushed by Graham this year.

Those who condemn this man without doing so show themselves to be far worse than the deep state they are so afraid of, because nothing can save us from an ignorant gullible electorate that believes whatever the media tells them.

As Bannon has said, Trump surrendered after his first year. This is a Pence/Kelly production.

That’s quite a word salad of a statement.
