Is this his guy? Sure sounds like it:
After writing op-ed defending Trump's firing of Comey, Bill Barr was ushered into WH to meet Trump & discuss becoming his top defense lawyer. Barr demurred, but efforts to get him to take the job continued into this year @dklaidman @SkullduggeryPod https://t.co/kY9z41rJAf

Kushner and acting Attorney General Whitaker were seen boarding Marine 1 on Friday together. Who’s closer to the Mueller investigation then his un-recused boss Whitaker? Barr will take over where Whitaker leaves off.
Not a single Democrat should vote to confirm the right wing ideologue Barr.
Any person still in the employ, or soon to be in the employ, of Trump are now blind because their heads are stuck up their bosses ass.
Then there’s that noxious stench the permeates Trump’s entire administration.
Via Taegan Goddard:
Paul Waldman: “One of the remarkable things about the discussion we’ve been having lately is that the president still seems to think that he can be saved from whatever this investigation uncovers. He just announced that William Barr will be his next attorney general, and the New York Times reported that in private, ‘Mr. Trump has also repeatedly asked whether the next pick would recuse himself from overseeing the special counsel investigation into whether his campaign conspired with Russia in its interference in the 2016 election.’ It’s as though he thinks this investigation is in its early stages and can be quashed by a properly loyal underling.”
“But at this point it doesn’t matter. It’s far too late. Trump’s former aides have cooperated, they’ve conducted their interviews with the special counsel, they’re being sentenced, the documents have been reviewed, the connections have been traced, and the full picture is soon to be revealed.”
“This scandal can’t be hidden away. Republicans in Congress can’t save Trump, his attorney general can’t save him, and no amount of desperate tweets can save him. Accountability is on its way, and it’s arriving very soon.”
