Be;ow: NPR interview from when Barr was getting confirmed as AG.

According to some other threads here in GD, he's said they've been friends for years.

INSKEEP: Today witnesses offer their views on William Barr, including Jonathan Turley, law professor at George Washington University, who has represented William Barr. He's been a lawyer for the guy who is angling to be the nation's top lawyer.

Mr. Turley, welcome back to the program.

JONATHAN TURLEY: Thanks, Steve.

INSKEEP: Should William Barr be confirmed?

TURLEY: Absolutely. He's really the perfect person at this time to take over the Justice Department. This is a department that has taken a lot of hits under the waterline. This has been a very difficult two years. And to bring in someone like Barr will introduce not just a record of integrity but someone who could bring real stability to that department.
