I think this is a good analysis. I think it also explains Barr’s behavior.
They are so desperate to get a pat on the head from the left for their “fairness” and “impartiality” that they actually end up supporting the positions of the left and appearing very political indeed. And not necessarily on the side that they might be personally inclined to take.
Everybody has their weak point that can be exploited politically. For some, it’s money, and they can be bribed. For others, it’s the desire for approval, popularity with powerful people, and praise. I think this, as well as plain old cowardice, is what motivates both Barr and Roberts.
It is complete BS. Roberts is as compromised as they come and Barr has been a Deep State swamprat and fixer for decades.
Swamp protects swamp.
Failed institutions. Interesting times.
