Will find it hilarious when barr ends up going to jail for something connected to his time in the trump administration. You see, the various laws about emoluments, bribery, election interference, etc all do specifically name cabinet members and you don’t qualify for the pass that the DoJ give the president. You can’t use “executive privilege” to escape prosecution and trump can’t pardon charges brought by the states. Here’s hoping barr gets to emulate his leader and find himself covered in orange…on his way to the prison yard.
Barr calls for an “investigation into the Russian investigation” but when the results come back that say that the Russian connection needed to be looked at, Barr lies about it. Does he plan on invalidating all of the guilty pleas, convictions, and court cases that have already come out of the Russia investigation? How far are the Republicans willing to go to protect Trump?
“Give me their names,” he said, his eyes narrowing. “I want these people out of here. I’m going to take care of this. We’re going to get rid of all the snakes, even the bottom-feeders.”
Only in retrospect did I see how remarkable this was. I was sitting there with the President of the United States basically compiling an enemies list — but these enemies were within his own administration. If it had been a horror movie, this would have been the moment when everyone suddenly realizes the call is coming from inside the house.
The President proceeded to name White House staffer after White House staffer. Almost no one was deemed beyond reproach—not his chief of staff, not senior aides, almost no one other than those with whom he shared a last name. He wanted me to help him judge their loyalty. How, I wondered, had it come to this?Trump took out one of the black Sharpies that he usually carries in his coat pocket.
As Sims dished, Trump scrawled two lists on a stiff card with the White House seal at the top.
One list was people he could trust. The other was people he couldn’t, and wanted to let go.
The combined lists included about 15 people — 10 of them naughty, and five of them (all campaign alumni) nice.
The leakers formed Trump’s unofficial Enemies List — all on his own staff. Most of the targets survived, at least for a while. But Trump seemed to revel in his new inside knowledge:
The card was later spotted in the president’s breast pocket — a reminder of what he perceived as the enemies within.

Trump has his enemies list.
As recounted in a passage from “Team of Vipers”:
“Give me their names,” he said, his eyes narrowing. “I want these people out of here. I’m going to take care of this. We’re going to get rid of all the snakes, even the bottom-feeders.”

Barr is a disgrace to the law enforcement, and “justice”, community.

Eric Holder has the best take on Barr.

DJT is a total spoiled brat and a dummy president. Incompetence incarnate.
