[Avalon Memories]

I am prepared to believe that he is an institutionalist whose first priority is to restore the reputation of the Department of Justice

That ship sailed long ago. The FBI crime lab scandal uncovered misconduct dating back to the late 1980's. Then there's Ruby Ridge and Waco. Nothing was ever done to rein in and clean up the FBI in those cases. They have only gotten more corrupt in the decades since, to the point where they now brazenly attempt a coup against a duly elected president. So far, two attorneys general and a slew of IGs have done zip about it. So I have zero faith in Barr or the entire corrupt system.

I anticipated your observation:

"So I have zero faith in Barr or the entire corrupt system."

That is why I conditioned my observations so:

If that requires overlooking criminality, he might do that (some would say he already has)

So I have zero faith in Barr or the entire corrupt system.

Barr was the AG during Ruby Ridge.
