Of President Donald Trump’s many career skills, perhaps the least appreciated is his lifelong and uncanny ability to sniff out lawyers who will serve his will.
In slightly more than 500 days in office, Barr has pivoted from establishment D.C. attorney—sworn to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States—into Trump’s family lawyer. The office of the attorney general is one of the oldest in our constitutional system, and the department is pledged “to ensure fair and impartial administration of justice for all Americans.” But Barr, instead, displays a tendency to use all the department’s levers—and with a $32 billion budget there are a lot of them—not to protect “all Americans” but to protect the president, personally and politically.

What statute is it that requires Fed.gov investigations of itself to be brought only within Washington DC?
To protect the president, personally and politically is protecting all Americans.
Politico spin corrected
Woops....... Anti Barr Conservative Freepers will have their heads explode.
Rather than desert their sanctimonious self righteous dogma, they will turn on the President. Self esteem is more important to them than America
Politico makes it official. Team Biden all the way.
Norm Eisen is a Democrat bottom feeder, a lowlife, a worm.
mr durham’s report will be declared a vast right wing conspiracy should it ever see daylight, unless as expected, will be dismissive as the horowitz investigation.

Some please show me that Eric Holder followed the U.S. Constitution.
A provision of the Constitution requires it. Some statute probably reinforces it, but the Constitution (Article III, section 2, third paragraph) reads,
“The Trial of all Crimes, except in Cases of Impeachment; shall be by Jury; and such Trial shall be held in the State where the said Crimes shall have been committed; but when not committed within any State, the Trial shall be at such Place or Places as the Congress may by Law have directed.”
The Sixth Amendment provides:
“In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law.”
Although Congress perhaps can designate otherwise, the District of Columbia, although not part of any state, has its own district court, so criminal conduct of its politicians goes to that court.

Barr? A fixer? Check the temp of Hell and see how close it is to freezing. If I was treated like he was on the Hill, I would be obsessed with indicting everyone of them on RICO corruption standards. Not lik he cant find atleast 20 charges just on Pelosi alone.
Typical liberal shills showing their @$$.
Ah... the old saw that the AG is supposed to be “independent” and not take orders from the President. LOL
Writer needs a whole box of tissues.
It was fine for Obama to have his “wingman” AG.
Has Barr met on the tarmac to discuss “grandchildren” with the husband of a political candidate who at the time was under investigation by the FBI?
Very interesting. One remedy, perhaps, would be to move the HQ of entities like the FBI out of DC into places like South Dakota….
Bagpipe Barr is only a “fixer” if he actually DOES SOMETHING that results in Demonicrat perp walks.
For now he is only the Trump Administration’s “talker.”
Great point!
