Nobody is more political than the big law/lobbyist firms that are the real Deep State.
William Barr is up to his ears in Kirkland & Ellis, the overwhelmingly Dem law firm that is the source for far too many of Trump’s appointees.
He had two brief stints at Kirkland & Ellis. I believe he spent most of his post-DOJ career at GTE/Verizon and in his own law practice. Apparently he’s built a reputation as an expert in government regulatory issues, especially FCC matters.
Thanks for the backup. Once a swamp creature, always a swamp creature.
