Barr seems to be well respected and thought of.
I mean, really, could anybody be worse than Jeff Sessions?
Barr was with Poppy back in the days of his CIA drug running and then his last AG—who got an easy confirmation vote.
“Well respected” covers the likes of Mueller and his criminal gang.
And really, is a recused and apparently compromised Sessions (apparently voted repeatedly in committee to permit the Uranium One sedition) your standard?
“could anybody be worse than Jeff Sessions?”
I stopped asking that basic question when I asked it about Bill Clinton. Eight years later ... the Magic Negro.
