The saddest and most obnoxious thing about this whole farce by Barr is that Trump is STILL colluding with the Russians to this very day. He was palling around with them in the oval office YESTERDAY.
This is crazy, and I'm really starting to question how drastic this could really get. This is an attempt to conquer the US government, from the inside, by Russia and their allies in the GOP. This is completely fucked.
Barr is simply a traitor. He's always been a reactionary legalistic warrior and his partisan worldview is so strong that he's willing to sell out his country. He's a constitutional thug masquerading as a defender of tradition.
If there is any benefit from what he's doing is that everyone naive enough to think that he would be a safe institutionalist can now see him for what he truly is.
Think we really need to hold those who vouched for Barr to account. Remember quite a few Dems who maintained that he would be an "institutionalist" and thus nothing to fear. Always believe that Opus Dei fealty is a tell and one that should no more be ignored than KKK affiliation.
Agreed about Barr's Opus Dei affiliation being a tell. They're part of the Dominionist cabal trying to impose a theocratic political regime that has no place under the Constitution.
As far as the Democrats who voted to confirm him, I understand their rationale. They represent states that gone strongly republican over the last 30-40 years. They're simply trying to remain politically viable for the next election.
I'm more upset with the Never Trumpian republicans and various legal commentators who proclaimed that Barr would be a safe selection as he would 'respect the DOJ as an institution and uphold the rule of law'. If anyone with half a brain had looked at his record going back to the Iran-Contra scandal, it would have been blindingly obvious that this guy was always going to protect republican politicians while screwing Democratic ones.

This situation is deadly serious.
