fishnmagician Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 (edited) I'm a wait and see on this one, I think Trump picked him because of his rather public stances on Mueller, but maybe Barr was fishing and threw some bait out for the big fish to bite on.

mitchell master Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 Barr has been there before so pretty sure he can do the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have to say that it's likely your best option here 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zybathegeek Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 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. ______________________________________________________________ "You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time."

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.
