Nicolle Wallace: Bill Barr Is 'The Most Dangerous Person That Works for Donald Trump'

Wallace expressed concern about his “demagoguery” before calling Barr outright dangerous:

“I think Barr’s the most dangerous person that works for Donald Trump, because he has Donald Trump’s worldview, Sean Hannity’s worldview, but he oversees the Justice Department.”

In addition to being dirty to the core, Barr is as smug as it gets and believes he is untouchable.

He's truly criminal. He's been that way for decades, but he's been able to dress himself up as a credible attorney. Barr is deeply corrupted with multiple conflicts of interest. He was a terrible choice, but Trumpy specializes in making terrible choices. It's a feature of his performance and decision-making, not an exception.

We are watching the GOP commit political suicide in slow motion. Barr's addition to Trumpy's DOJ is comparable to placing another bullet in the chamber before spinning it and pointing it to the GOP's head.

But GOP's survival may be irrelevant. It's Trumpy's show. It's all him. The GOP is just a tool. Trumpy will step all over the GOP the moment that he gets resistance. And the GOP is frozen with fear that ANY act of resistance, any challenge, will devastate the "party."

Trumpy obsesses with revenge and punishment, and he loves to see his adversaries suffer. They all know it. But this deeply weak and unpopular president has them all by the balls and can squeeze them into a scream at his slightest whim.

The GOP doesn't deserve a win at dog-catcher. They've abandoned any notion of a set of standards or principles and are existing solely as Trumpy's ass-wipe.

report and make it seem trump was exonerated. Barr is an agent of whoever is pulling the strings from above and it's not trump. He isn't capable. There are forces orchestrating this, the same forces who installed trump and have now sent Barr to save him.

Totally shocking situation. Yes, I know that they've been at this for the last 40 years, but this is a new phase: active, brazen corruption and gleeful shredding of our democracy. We've got to win this one.

A blue wave election in 2020 will stop this shit. It won't bring back the lives lost or undo the misery caused by Trump, but it will put us on the right path to rebuild. Please, if you're not going to be part of the solution, don't be part of the problem by posting crap like this that only serves to depress Dem voter turnout.

Doug Jones even explained his vote as he’s qualified and will remain independent/non-partisan.

The steady, incoming tide of fascism and utter corruption further erodes our democracy with each passing day.

IMPEACH NOW.

and tell them that they are really breaking the law and that isn't in the spirit of bipartisanship and good things. So, come on guys, play ball or we might get tough after the election, or something.
