Bill Barr Was Asked About Concern Trolling Over His Reputation, His Response is Hilarious
Townhall.com ^ | May 31, 2019 | Katie Pavlich

Since the release of the Mueller report in April, Attorney General Bill Barr has been attacked by the deranged left for refusing to fall in line with their Russian collusion narrative. They panicked when he used the term "spying" to describe the action taken against the Trump campaign in 2016. He's been accused of "protecting the president" and the salty language in Washington D.C. significantly ramped up after he announced an investigation into the origins of the Russia probe.

Lamenting his actions, Democrats and their allies in the media have been feigning concern by asking, "But what about Barr's reputation? His legacy?"

Here's one example:

Sen. Cory Booker: Trump AG Barr Has Lost Credibility, Must Resign

"Everyone dies and I am not, you know, I don't believe in the Homeric idea that you know, immortality comes by, you know, having odes sung about you over the centuries, you know?" he said. "I am at the end of my career."

This is Barr's second time as Attorney General. He served in the same position under President George H.W. Bush. He was asked if he regrets taking up the job again. His answer was no.

"I love the Department of Justice, I love the FBI, I think it is important that we not, in this period of intense partisan feeling, destroy our institutions," he said.

Attorney General William Barr on caring about his reputation: "Everyone dies"

And there you have it.

We’re way past the point of destroying those institutions and starting over.

That ship sailed a long time ago. barr's real job is to clean-up the mess left by comey and rosenwiezel, all while putting on a good show to keep us deplorables at bay. It's been three years, how many people outside of Trumps orbit have been as much as charged?

He’s really too good to be true.

Very few GOP people supporting Trump. Lot’s of apathetic and passive types, but few out there fighting for and with him.

Others like Romney in the wings, who are actually fighting Trump.

Refreshing that we have someone. Why oh why did he appoint Sessions? Chritie would have been better.

Barr from the beginning would have changed the course of the first two years.

Oh, btw, all Demagogic Party members are maggots. That's their legacy. Right now they're devouring their own party, and they will continue to do that.

Me too... Barr’s a good man. But we’re NOT destroying our institutions - our institutions are destroying themselves...

Our institutions were destroyed by both parties allowing an ineligible usurper in as President in violation of the Constitution.

He OUGHT to be angry as all possible HELL about what the Deep State has done to our institutions.

I do think he is.

I HOPE he has the power to clean them up.

Like cleaning the Augean Stables.

It is NOT going to be quick and easy.

We need to give him some slack to get the job done, and a hell of a lot of support.

We can also keep our eyes open for all talk, no action, certainly. Remember Jeff Sessions, after all.

I was going to say the same thing. He’s willing to fight and uncover the swamp. Surprising from someone who used to be a Bush Sr. guy.
