Barr was a disaster but ( we all have admit it) it was Trump who picked him. Ditto for Sessions. Trump must bear responsibility for these 2 awful picks
Mitch and Flimsey told him who he could pick from, they would not approve anyone who was not Deep State.
Trump must bear responsibility for these 2 awful picks
With help from others. Nobody had a problem with it at the time.
People at the time said that Bill Barr would be excellent for this gig, that Trump couldn’t find anybody better (h/t Rush Limbaugh.) And when it was all over and Barr resigned, conservative talkers were saying Barr was an excellent Attorney General, a real class-act (h/t Mark Levin.) If the “real conservatives” said he was a great pick, then ya’ll can’t criticize Trump after the fact.

Dittoe with Sessions and Pence. I remember conservative talk radio at 6pm at the time saying on the Pence pick, “Wow! I never thought Trump would pick someone so conservative, Mr. Producer.” On Sessions they said it wasn an “outstanding” pick. But when things went bad with Sessions, they accused Trump of “attacking” Sessions. Then they finally agreed with Trump that Sessions must resign.
