Washington(CNN)Donald Trump was right: He can get away with almost anything -- a factor that is likely to mean an even more unchained presidency over the next 18 months.
All the reasons why Democratic efforts to check the President will likely fail were revealed in Attorney General William Barr's trial by fire on Capitol Hill on Wednesday and his refusal to submit to a second round before the fired-up House majority on Thursday.
The drama also showed that in the short span of a White House term, given certain partisan conditions, the modern political system will find it almost impossible to constrain a President -- especially one who poses such an overwhelming challenge to congressional custom as Trump.
Trump now has an attorney general, like a human block of granite, who sees few limits on presidential power and is willing to obfuscate and execute blocking movements on his behalf.
"He's an outstanding man. He's an outstanding legal mind," Trump said of Barr in an interview Wednesday night on the Fox Business network, adding that the attorney general did a "fantastic" job during the hearing.
After a day of taking lumps from minority Senate Democrats, Barr told the House Judiciary Committee he would not show up for a second day of testimony on Thursday.

Consider the possibility that Trump had Barr on the top of his AG list before the inauguration but couldn’t appoint him while Daddy41 was alive. Sessions was a mere [placeholder] at AG.
Look at the timing: Daddy41 dies >> Sessions resigns >> Barr appointed.
All the leaks and [comms] from 2017/2018 were [placeholders] for the time AFTER Daddy41’s funeral. It was the funeral that turned loose The Storm. The schedule was set, just waiting for Daddy41’s funeral.

If true, can't get any better than that.
Yet they were ok with the”wingman”; Barr’s merely following the law.
I read about it on CNN.
Add Lou Dobbs - he is excellent
"I have been saying it for close to a year. The only collusion was between the Obama WH/CIA/FBI with the U.K./Australia/Italy/Turkey/Ukraine to undermine the campaign and Trump associates who posed a threat to various interests. The ultimate goal was to overthrow Trump."
The fear is spreading like wildfire....I can hear Johnny Cash singing his song to the Dems while disguised as Barr....”Bad news travels like wildfire.....
The Democrats are pissing in the well.
They forget, they get their water from that same well.
History is not going to be kind to this current batch of politicians.
“...quarter ton of fun Jerry Nadler...”
LOL! Being short, fat, angry, and liberal is no way to go through life.
Al D’Amato calling Nadless “The Waddler” still takes the cake, IMO.
Yeah, I hate it when my flight is delayed.
Panic the public?
Panic their ever-shrinking lunatic fanbase perhaps.
But no, the public will be just fine.
YOU WIN THE INTERNET!
excellent
Unchained works for me and Prometheus, too.
holder is such a POS
“Trump now has an attorney general, like a human block of granite,”
The way I see it, Barr has complete and total love and respect for the Constitution. If true, then we’ll be OK.
“I’ve read that he was recommended by Joe DiGenova.”
Well, Rosenstein’s position will be vacant on May 11, I think. DiGenova might be a good replacement.
Onyx you forgot Lou Dobbs and Trish Regan!!!
