Clue about Barr? Yup, at least partly: Barr was already retired when Trump was elected. Barr’s kids were still in school studying to be Liars, er, Lawyers, and such, and they wanted to remain in and about the Beltway. Barr put himself out for rent by saying he wanted to make the Krapitol Komplex a safe place for the kids to work. At a glance it seemed he meant he wanted to help clean up Beltway corruption. Turns out what he really meant was that he wanted to thoroughly bury the corruption so it wouldn’t shine back on him and his kids would be rewarded for being good little complyers. I expect by now his kids are gainfully employed in the Bidum krime fambly complex?
I guess you’re right.
PDJT must have thought Mena-AR-Barr had turned over a new leaf.
Maybe Barr was the only one that could be confirmed by the Uniparty and handle the fiasco of the Mueller hoax.
It’s just that it reminds me of the climax of The Snake: “You knew who I was before you took me in.”
