Democrats and MSM mouthpieces are now attacking AG William Barr as a corrupt official who is in President Trump’s pocket. Soon they will probably begin attacking him in restaurants, if past performance dictates future conduct.
It seems the height of folly to make an enemy out of any Attorney General, but particularly this one.
AG Barr doesn’t seem to be the type that scares easily.
So why would Democrats once again try to intimidate anyone who questions the motives behind the attacks on the President?
It would be so much easier and wiser just to say “Hey we wouldn’t want this to happen to a Democrat, so fine, check out Comey, Strzok and the rest.”
Instead they reacted like kids caught with their hand in the cookie jar.
Of course, it’s fairly likely that the “unauthorized surveillance” involves a lot more than a few DOJ/FBI people who “didn’t like” Trump.
In fact, this all sounds a lot like people with something of their own to hide.
Of course it could be just Trump Derangement Syndrome, the natural reaction of Washington snobs who don’t think the President is their cultural equivalent.
Somehow that just doesn’t explain how in the space of less than a month the AG went from being a man of high moral and legal integrity, to an ass-licking Trump flunky.
If Democrats have nothing to hide, why freak out like this?
This whole thing isn’t over, not by a long shot.
