Sir William of Ockham agrees with you.
Almost all ignore that Bill Barr has a track record as a Federal apparatchik, and it is one of an Institutionalist (a right-wing statist), not a Constitutionalist.
What he did after Ruby Ridge alone should send chills down the spine of anyone who cherishes our Unalienable Rights.
I have found no evidence that he has ever recanted or repented. I therefore conclude that this leopard’s spots remain the same.
He loves his institutions, and wants to clean house on the down low, minimize scandal, pick a fall guy or two, and persuade us hicks to believe in them again.
To someone like Bill Barr: All animals are equal, but Federal animals (like Lon Horiuchi) are more equal.
As others have opined, I am convinced he was a brokered compromise between the Trump Camp and the Deep State/UniParty during/following the GHWB funeral.
To ignore his known actions and beliefs while in past Federal service is to wilfully engage in cognitive dissonance.
Yikes! This I am not familiar with - and I remember Ruby Ridge well. Can you give me a source or a brief synopsis?
