and the press continues to act like barr is anything but a political operative.

barr pushed bush to pardon several folks in the iran-contra investigation and blow up various prosecutions that would have lead directly to bush.

in 89 barr issued a summary of an olc legal memo that complete hid or mischaracterized the true contents of the memo (revealed to congress after barr left office).

he sent a letter to trump stating his hostility to the mueller investigation and trump immediately hired him after firing the guy who faithfully executed his agenda in every single way except when he rightfully recused himself from the mueller investigation.

and he just got outted by the mueller team for issuing a summary that misrepresents their findings...and opting not to include the pre-redacted summaries that the mueller team had already drawn up to detail their own work.

and people in the press continue to treat this guy like an institutionalist with a stellar apolitical reputation. its maddening.
