My spidey sense is telling me different. Funny. I had the same feeling before the Keebler Elf was confirmed...
I’m still amazed at what a horrendous pick Sessions turned out to be. There are several guys in jail, facing jail or who’ve had their lives literally ruined because he was too stupid to see what the media/left was trying to do. Lawfare is the left’s stock in trade. How did that dullard not see that one coming? Did he not see what they did to Sarah Palin, Ted Stevens, and Tom DeLay?
I don’t doubt that your gut is right about Barr either. I’d be thrilled to be wrong, but unless any pick is a fire-breathing conservative activist, you can fully expect him/her to get rolled by the swamp if they aren’t of the swamp themselves.
The Establishment (both the Dem and Rep sides) will NOT confirm anyone who is even remotely likely to look into THEIR crimes, or to trouble anyone who might take revenge by exposing Establishment crimes.
DC is the home of "mutually assured destruction". None of the major players can be investigated, because they each know too much about others.
