The fact that there are state election boards currently contemplating invalidating tens of thousands of votes is the only thing that keeps this off the top of every news outlet right now but the Attorney General potentially using his office to help his private book of business is… not great.

Last night, Reuters broke the story that Attorney General Bill Barr, while working at Kirkland & Ellis, represented Caterpillar in a billion-dollar tax case that miraculously was dropped by the DOJ one week after Barr took over the Justice Department:

"A week after Barr was nominated for the job of attorney general, Justice officials in Washington told the investigative team in the active criminal probe of Caterpillar to take “no further action” in the case, according to an email written by one of the agents and reviewed by Reuters.

2. Barr is completely unmoored to ethics or morality

[634-5789]

8. 'completely unmoored'

NAILED IT!

3. Be interesting to find out whether he has any continuing financial interest in that company

would it not?

A'course, what Cheney did with Halliburton and the Iraq War was more egregious than this (morally at least), and we all know what happened there (nothing, in case you didn't).

IOKIYAR always applies.

No wonder they do not want Joe Biden to become president.

6. K & R for exposure.

bull frog in the swamp.

9. But let's play nice with these monsters? To heal the country? No way.

[DBoon]

15. Since when has playing nice with a criminal gang ever been a real option

Did we play nice with the Mafia? With MS-13?

10. Caterpillar would be smart to come clean

They only postponed things a few months.

11. Scratch a little deeper and you'll find...

Pence's brother and the Russians are up to their eyeballs in CAT, too.

12. This!👆

I've read that Pence's brother is deeply involved with russia.

[Yeehah]

13. "The winners write the history," said Barr.

Barr is rotten to the core!

14. There seems to be no check in our system on a corrupt AG.

As they say, the fish rots from the head down. Trump has corrupted almost all of the federal government, and appointments like Barr have corrupted justice.

16. Now i understand why Kirkland & Ellis was ditched n/t

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

17. Kk&R. The crooked Republicans just don't think they have to worry about consequences. It would take

a hundred years to prosecute just Trump's personal malfeasance.
