With very few exceptions for a few valid reasons (some redactions may be valid for the general public, but there should be NO REDACTIONS as submitted to committees under public seal — as to Grand Jury testimony, the House committees and Barr should obtain the usual judicial waiver that is common in this kind of case), Barr’s heavy use of redactions is because he knows the truth hurts his client: DONALD TRUMP.
His client is SUPPOSED TO BE “we the people,” with the White House Counsel designed to represent the interests of the office of the presidency and Trump hiring his own private attorneys to represent his personal interests.
But Barr has made it clear that he is the defender of Trump, not us.
So who speaks for us — we the people — now?
If impeachment is too problematic in a corrupt Senate, perhaps the best step is to appeal to the American Bar Association to have William Barr disBARRed for ethics violations and probable criminal involvement.
