Why Bill Barr Is So Dangerous
The Atlantic ^ | June 30, 2019 | Donald Belton Ayer, former US Deputy Attorney General under George H. W. Bush

Posted on 07/01/2019 9:03:23 AM PDT by kiryandil

He is using the office he holds to advance his extraordinary lifetime project of assigning unchecked power to the president.

Buried behind our president’s endless stream of lies and malicious self-serving remarks are actions that far transcend any reasonable understanding of his legal authority. Donald Trump disdains, more than anything else, the limitations of checks and balances on his power. Witness his assertion of a right to flout all congressional subpoenas; his continuing refusal to disclose his tax returns, notwithstanding Congress’s statutory right to secure them; his specific actions to bar congressional testimony by government officials; and his personal attacks on judges who dare to subject the acts of his administration to judicial review. More blatant yet are his recent assertion of a right to accept dirt on political opponents from foreign governments, and his declaration of a national emergency, when he himself said he “did not need to do this,” he just preferred to “do it much faster.”...

Donald "I'm Not Bill Ayers!" Ayer worked for elder Bush "Grabby Poppy" back in the day.

Examining his current positions, it's clear that this so-called "Republican" is actually a Democrat.

Ayer hasn't uttered a peep over the last three years about partisan Democrat Federal district judges running the country with national injunctions. To the contrary, he celebrates it:

...and his [Trump's] personal attacks on judges who dare to subject the acts of his administration to judicial review.

This old RINO-Democrat gasbag also apparently learned to read minds during his tenure under the Grabby Bush:

...But the first few months of his [William Barr] current tenure, and in particular his handling of the Mueller report, suggest something very different — that he [Barr] is using the office he holds to advance his extraordinary lifetime project of assigning unchecked power to the president.

Ayers KNOWS THE INNER THOUGHTS of another human being.

Neat trick, that.

Reading Don Ayer's inner thoughts, I can see clearing that he is using his status as a #FakeRepublican to provide ammunition for his true party, the Democrats, to slow or stop the appointment of Constitutionalist Federal judges, and to resume the stream of partisan Democrat oligarch judges flowing onto the bench.

The thing that matters is the media is stoking these lies and misinformation. As a result of this misinformation, a great many people now believe the President is a nefarious traitor. They are frightened. Frightened people to unpredictable things. This isn’t going to end well, and when it blows up, and people start getting killed, those in the media that wrote crap like this are going to be high on the list. Very high. They don’t think so, and they are going to be shocked.

What a load. Like with all politicians, I ignore what he says and watch what he does. I love what he does. That’s why I like him as our president.

"From 1986 to 1988, he [Don "Bill" Ayers] served as Principal Deputy Solicitor General of the United States, and as Deputy Attorney General from 1989 until May 1990, when he [Ayer] was succeeded by William Barr."

Awesome! Perhaps the way to measure how well the swamp drainage project is going is by the voices that protest.

To have this one speaking up suggests the swamp’s water level has dropped dangerously close to revealing what’s been hidden below.

No, sir, President Trump. I’m not getting tired of winning. I want MORE!

What an absolutely stupid list of "dangerous" things. Ayers can't be this dumb.
