He won’t make it through confirmation before he tells them to just go to hell. Very few will from this point out.
From Wiki:
2016 election and Trump administration
Barr believed that then Republican candidate Donald J. Trump’s calls for investigating Hillary Clinton, the Democratic candidate for President, were not inappropriate. He told The New York Times that “there is nothing inherently wrong about a president calling for an investigation. Although an investigation shouldn’t be launched just because a president wants it, the ultimate question is whether the matter warrants investigation.”
In the same Times piece, Barr added that an investigation into the Uranium One controversy was more warranted than looking into whether Trump conspired with Russia: “To the extent it is not pursuing these matters, the department is abdicating its responsibility.”[24] Elsewhere, Barr has commented that “I don’t think all this stuff about throwing [Hillary Clinton] in jail or jumping to the conclusion that she should be prosecuted is appropriate. But I do think that there are things that should be investigated that haven’t been investigated.”[25]
.... and the Evil Globals rejoice.
Sure wish Trump would quit picking Bush establishment types for his cabinet. He ran as an outsider so he should pick an outsider!
I wish he had originally picked Barr and that Sessions remained a Senator from Alabama.
Anyone with bi partisan support at this point is probably a hack. I pray for the best for Trump. I think he should pick people who are critics of the departments they are taking over. I don’t think that’s what this pick does. I guess the increased numbers in the Senate are for naught
I’d be happy to get this Mueller thing over and done with but I’d be ecstatic to see hillary and king obama in prison!
Great choice.
Also the confirmation should go smoothly, since he was already confirmed once before.
