Rachel Maddow just nailed it
Bill Palmer | 9:40 pm EDT June 22, 2020


When Bill Barr tried to replace SDNY U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman with his own lackey this weekend, the end result was that Berman resigned but put his own respected Deputy in charge instead. At the time, Palmer Report pointed out that this was a total swing and miss for Barr, in what is now becoming a string of swings and misses. He’s as evil as ever, but he keeps proving himself more inept at his evil.


During her show tonight, Rachel Maddow drew the same conclusion. Her succinct way of putting things: “It does seem like Bill Barr’s wheels are coming off.” Barr has failed to stop John Bolton’s book, Barr has failed to bring an attempted criminal case against Trump nemesis Andrew McCabe, Barr has failed thus far to get the case against Trump ally Michael Flynn dropped, and Barr failed to get Roger Stone’s prison sentence reduced.

It’s becoming more clear that as evil as Bill Barr is, he’s not particularly skilled at this kind of villainy. That doesn’t mean we can take him lightly. But............................

[Mme. Defarge]

2. Can't wait to tune in!

[riversedge]

15. I just watched the rerun. More than delighted to listen. so good.

[Leghorn21]

3. Aw man, did I need to hear this

Thanks so much, rivers

[yonder]

4. Some of that famed tRump ineptness is rubbing off on Barr?

Or everything trump touches dies?

[Sneederbunk]

5. Blew up on Barr Wile E. Coyote style.

[leftieNanner]

6. Her show is worth watching

Jerry Nadler was on too.

[Wellstone ruled]

7. Believe Roger Stone has

a date with the Federal Prison folks on the 30th. Name,Stone,reporting for duty.

[riversedge]

16. I just read that Stone will be requesting a delay to report

[blakstoneranger]

8. He's damien thorn's loyal dog so trump will not fire him....he'll have to quit!

[Nitram]

9. Barr is Igor to Trump's Frankenstein.

Master...what more can I do for you? More body parts?

[Moostache]

14. More like the "Young Frankenstein" Mel Brooks spoof...

Its pronounced "Eye-gor"...

[Nitram]

25. Yup. I loved Marty Feldman. With the moving hump.

[seta1950]

10. Rachel is great

Her show is the only one I watch.

[Cha]

11. KR!

[Thekaspervote]

12. Maybe dotard will be thinking of firing him too??

[AdamGG]

13. Incompetent, but loyal seems to keep people in their jobs with him

and, there's countless smaller, less publicized things that Barr is doing every day. Also, his tactics with the Mueller report did largely pay off.

18. It seems his ham fisted attempts to pander to Trump might be blowing back on him a tad?

All my real hopes currently react on November 4th, but I'll gleefully view a few sideshows between now and then. Most especially this one.

[ecstatic]

19. It's hard to take comfort in that. Is that really what we're

depending on at this point? His stupidity? Seriously, heads need to roll on election day. The GOP needs to be completely gutted.

[calimary]

20. It was another good show.

Rachel makes you think.

And she backs into the lead - you always learn new things, new outrages, deep background, and context.

It’s like auditing a master class in politics and political maneuvering.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

27. Exactly. I can't understand the people who fault her for supposedly

being too thorough in her segments. I think its excellent how she builds a case, point by point, layer by layer until the only way to deny her point is to reject facts & logic. She is a national treasure.

[duforsure]

21. I think Rachel was spot on about Barr

I just hope I can watch as Barr gets indicted and hauled off to prison in the future. Barr eventually will realize he's already caught and will have consequences for all his illegal corrupt acts, and regret helping trump, everyone else will be too.

22. K&R! I posted 3 videos from tonight's show in V&M, agree that this was very important:

24. Maybe Barr isn't trying so hard either

You have to think Trump talks to him the way he does everyone else--like he's the help. You have to wonder why someone like Barr would tolerate that.

In the end, Trump's undoing will be that he demanded loyalty but refused to provide any in return. Sadly. It should be his racist, xenophobic ideas and policies. But we'll see.

26. Not quite in my book, I didn't hear her call him a fascist on air. When that happens..

she will have nailed it.
