Thanks for posting link to the Kindle edition.
Barr got out of lawschool and went to work for see-eye-eeeeehhhh as, get this General Counsel for Southern Air Transport (the cee eye—eh front airline/air cargo company, which was an element of Air America, and air transport in several prominent... operations to include Contra supplying, and in Vietnam, Cambodia, and .. China— see GHW Bush).
Makes absolutely zero sense that he would be in consideration, at his age, and his membership in the number one Swamp connex lawfirm in DC. Not a good choice to clean a swamp they live off of.
It’s rather disheartening to read these threads and see the lack of understanding of so many Freepers about the reality with which Trump is dealing. If Barr is truly going to be his AG nominee it simply confirms that the swamp has successfully surrounded and cut him off from both information sources they don’t control, and from people/friends who really do support him.
He really is in a box/trap. He’s being contained and “handled” by his White House staff, advisors, attorneys, et al. and is truly alone. People just don’t realize how a President’s time and access to the outside world is tightly controlled by staff and “advisors”, especially John Kelly.
He came to Washington, DC with the advantage of being an outsider, not beholden to the Beltway Establishment. That also came with the disadvantage of not being able to know who he could trust, or not. He’s getting bad advice from his so-called advisors, and thus, we get these crazy, dangerous nominees who will serve the swamp, not him, and sabotage his agenda.
They are wearing him down, chipping away at his support structure, curtailing his ability to act on a myriad of issues, just like the Lilliputians tied Gulliver down with hundreds of tiny ropes.
It is a tragedy, for him, for us, and for the Republic.
