You're never going to believe this, but Barr's pre-released statement shows he plans to claim Trump has done nothing wrong. And he's going to do it in that very calm, monotone way of speaking he uses when he lies his rather large tush off. The same one he used when he lied to the public about Mueller's findings.
He's going to say, with a straight face, convicted felons Flynn and Stone being granted a get out of jail free card has nothing to do with their association with Trump. No, really, that's what he's going to say.
He will defend the violations of the rights of the peaceful protesters who were run out of Lafayette Sq. so Don could have his picture taken with a book he is entirely unfamiliar with. He will say sending unwanted federal troopers to Dem controlled cities has nothing to do with Trump trying to establish his "law and order" bona fides with voters who are persuaded by such nonsense. That will take a remarkable act of mental gymnastics given President Flim Flam is the most lawless prez in history.
Barr's appearance will give Repubs the chance to breathlessly ask Bill about the Durham investigation's progress. If Barr were to answer honestly he'd say the corrupt part out loud. That the report's release will be timed to make the maximum impact on the election by trying to entangle Biden in whatever horsesh*t Durham has been able to cobble together. Just like the meaningless horsesh*t Repubs pimped about Comey, McCabe, Strzok, Page, Steele, etc. It is another transparent act on the Bagman's part to function as a political advocate for his boss. A message he eagerly sent with lights flashing when he wrote his 20 page audition for the AG's job explaining in detail his belief a President should have powers equal to a king's.
Bill Barr’s Very Strange Memo on Obstruction of Justice
"But the legal quality of the memo itself is a different question. Over at Just Security, Marty Lederman has what he describes as a “
first take” on Barr’s memo, which is to say a detailed critique of it on both constitutional and statutory grounds. On
National Review’s website, by contrast, Andrew McCarthy
declares the memo a “commendable piece of lawyering” and “exactly what we need and should want in an attorney general of the United States.”
Whatever Barr’s memo is, it is not that. Because whether one agrees with his view of the law (as does McCarthy) or recoils at it (as does Lederman), one thing attorneys general of the United States should certainly not do is make up facts.
And ironically for a memo laying out the argument that Bob Mueller has made up a crime to investigate, the document is based entirely on made-up facts. Lederman mentions this point at the outset of his analysis:"
