"I feel I'm in a position in life where I can do the right thing and not really care about the consequences in the sense that I can truly be independent," 

-William Barr (During Recent Senate Confirmation Hearings) 

 

Trust him to be a straight shooter?

Don't trust him to be a straight Shooter?

Wait and see? 

 

Now's your chance to go on record...

I'm a wait and see on this one,

 

I think Trump picked him because of his rather public stances on Barr,

 

but maybe Barr was fishing and threw some bait out for the big fish to bite on.

 

So you're coming right out of the gate with conspiracy theories? 

 

I do have to say that it's likely your best option here

what did I say that would be a conspiracy?

I cited actions of individuals.

 

You don't have to muck up every thread with these antics you know.

 

You could just offer something constructive and move on, maybe come back if something interesting develops (?)

I see nothing conspiratorial about the statement, it was speculation. Which you can tell by the word maybe.

 

When a guy writes a big memo arguing an expansive view of Executive Power...germane to Mueller's investigation...and then gets nominated by Trump, it's no surprise that people kinda wonder. Y'know?

 

That said, he seems plenty qualified, and I expected him to be confirmed. I'll wait and see what he does if a big decision arises.

Here's hoping Barr bares the biggest set of dogged, investigative, and prosecutorial fangs seen in the job for years, and nullifies the political bias evident in his domain.

Politicians and diapers should be changed often and regularly,  invariably for the same reason.

Yeah I didn't understand the charge of conspiracy theory there.

 

the Temp in charge is a dope..... who went on TV to criticize Mueller,

he is not remotely qualified to be in the position he is in,

 

Barr is a figure from the past who wrote a paper on Mueller,

and that was enough to get tabbed.

 

He had a LOT of nice things to say about Mueller and his character in a hearing,

so I wondered if perhaps he knew how to get Trump's eye.

Speculates then calls it the actions of others....

you accused me of spouting a conspiracy theory,

nothing I wrote was conspiratorial,

I point that out,

then you post this.......

you are throwing insults,

then flopping and complaining,

are you putting on a show in hopes that Tim will give me points?

weak if so.

He was the Former AG's Chief of Staff and I believe, a longtime DOJ official...

 

Not qualified? 

 

Per who?
