35. This is all an orchestrated charade

Feb 2020

This is all an orchestrated charade. NPR says that Barr discussed this ploy with trump, so this all calculated.

Barr has already forfeited his reputation in history. He is just pretending to trying to preserve any sense of integrity. He still adheres to Trump as king.

And he as big a liar as trump.
