This is some more commentary regarding L’affaire Roger Stone, specifically, Donald Trump’s tweet criticizing the sentence<\/a> that the prosecutors recommended, the subsequent amended (reduced) sentencing recommendation that came straight from Barr’s office<\/a>, and the withdrawal of the entire prosecution team in protest<\/a>.<\/p>\n

William Barr actually gave an interview stating that Trump’s tweets make it difficult for him to do his job<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In what is a profoundly depressing, is that the mainstream press has presented this as an example of the integrity of the Attorney General, and nothing could be further from the truth.<\/p>\n

Even right wing knuckle dragger Laura Ingraham understood what was being said, “Barr was basically telling Trump, ‘don’t worry, I got this’<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Barr is telling Trump to shut the f%$# up while he finishes the coverup.<\/p>\n

This is not occurring in isolation, Barr is looking to sabotage the case against Michael Flynn<\/a> in the sane way.<\/p>\n

William Barr is not, and has never, functioned as an Attorney General.<\/p>\n

He is Donald Trump’s consigliere, just as he was George H.W. Bush’s consigliere and covered up Bush’s role in Iran Contra.<\/p>\n

I do not believe that William Barr needs to resign as AG, I believe that he needs to be frog-marched out of the Department of Justice in handcuffs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
