"The reason I say he's un-American...is that the central tenet of our legal system and our justice system is that no person is above the law," Ayer told CNN's Wolf Blitzer on Monday. "Bill Barr's vision is that there is one man—one person—who needs to be above the law and that is the president."

Hey Big Media:

Trotting out the Coward Bushes and their dad to read scripts isn’t going to take any votes away from Trump.

Weird, because Barr seems to think everyone else is above the law except for Trump and anybody associated with him.

Did he state the same opinion about Obama?

Even if he did, he should recognize that the MSM will not publicize it at the time and will not point out that he thinks Obama has the same issues so he should just SHUT UP.
