It seems that Bill Barr is the only person that can go on FOX News and tell it to them straight.
He is the only one they will listen to, other than Donald Trump himself.
His new role seems to be to break the news to the cult that laws were broken. There is enough evidence to indict. It was wrong to steal top secret documents and take them to your country club. One might think they could have figured that out on their own, but that does not appear to be the case?
Now, Bill Barr has become the de-program master for the cult. He has to tell them the truth and hope that they are not so far down the rabbit hole that they cannot return.
It is a necessary role and one that needs to be done. It is strange that Bill Barr is the person delivering the message.

(23,099 posts)Even though drumpf totally broke the law and deserves jail time and put our security at risk, Barr WANTS Justice to just look the other way and do nothing. He is still a traitor and still covering for the right and trying to have drumpf not be charged so US is hurt and 45/Putin/MBS can steal the country and change it to a non-democratic version and fuck the working class/poor/women & minorities. Barr is totally ok with a rw takeover and did his best to implement it - except for the actual stealing part. His hands won't get dirty but he is ok with others dong the dirty work.

(111,094 posts)Naturally, he does not want Trump to be indicted. But he believes there is enough evidence to indict him? He's playing his role.

(23,099 posts)Previously I'd seen the good stuff where he was saying the ruling on the special master was total bullshit and there was no excuse for what drumpf did. Last night she showed the bad part where he said yes, this was criminal, but basically look the other way anyway. He definitely care more about being a R than an American.

(68,576 posts)good men ( I say men because women were not allowed much of a role back in the day) who did the one good thing. I think Pence likely saved our Republic by not agreeing to Trump's demands. I have no doubt Grassley would have done it (traitor) If Barr can convince enough Trumpers, perhaps our long national nightmare will end. I saw some posts yesterday raging against Barr which made me wonder about their real purpose. I don't like Barr either but if he can help with the Trump monster, I am in.

(111,094 posts)I have wondered if that might be Bill Barr? He gave Trump a lot of rope to see how far he would go and at the end, he knew. And he left.

(32,639 posts)He's hoping to whitewash his recent history with Chump, and I suppose that's a good thing. In a way he kind of reminds me of Dick Cheney. But even so, they're both the worst kind of evil right-wing libertarians. Just because they've jumped off the Donald Chump wagon doesn't suddenly make them "good" men. I hate that Faux Noise is putting a halo on Barr's head now, and making noises like "all is forgiven. We know this wasn't YOUR fault!"
Well ummm, yes it is, Bill Barr. It is your fault. Plus that book you wrote 6 months ago really makes you look like an asshole - now that the whole world can see what a traitor Chump was all along. YOU enabled that ... YOU prevented the impeachment of Chump.

(7,813 posts)classified materials, it's because the whole truth is much, much worse...beyond obstruction and documents.
If they ever admit to anything, it's for a purpose other than accurate information...it is to hide the bigger picture.
