Overnight, The Atlantic has published a fluff-piece aimed (by his supporters within the regular GOP) at recasting him as some form of refusenik to Trumpian lunacy.
Nope.
I am not here for that BS. It is a load of crap.
He was over 20 days too late — even on the smallest scope of this narrative. And he walked with Trump to St. John’s Square on June 6, 2020.
He also allowed the DoJ to enter an appearance to represent Trump, in private suits that alleged Trump had forcibly raped women. Trump asserted a defense of defamation — again, a First Amendment claim, violated by the US government, by intervening — on Bill Barr’s explicit orders.
On top of that, he let the DoJ represent Melania Trump, in FILING a private suit to silence a book written about her. That suit was dismissed when the author simply said “Amendment, First” — but that was the US government, then bringing an affirmative civil suit to prevent a book’s publication. If that doesn’t ring the Stalinists’ bell, I do know what would, Mr. Barr.
No — you are a pariah, Mr. Barr — to all polite, law abiding society, henceforth. Sit down.
