(27,813 posts)Barr is as smart as they come.
Despite being a cover-your-ass expert, he made a fatal mistake. His fate is now tied to Trump's fate - if Trump goes down, so will he - and there will be no pOTUS to quash any investigations into his own crimes.
Barr now owns every demented statement uttered by his "pResident", and will have to spin it as best he can. He has no alternative.

(4,584 posts)His stupidity led him to succumb to the lust for power and wealth and tie his fate to a known New York City con artist.
Barr is intelligent and immoral, but not "as smart as they come."

Note to (Barr's) Self: Don't attempt this during an idiot's presidency...

And it may also have to do with Barr's father's connection to Epstein.

(14,732 posts)'warrior' fighting to do away with all the leftist-communist-anarchist-antichristian forces arrayed against the Catholic cjurch/Repulican Party. Trump on the other hand never met a conviction that meant anything to him and he's ready to switch sides on any issue at a second's notice if he thinks it's convenient for him. Barr would be burning people at the stake if he lived in the 1400's.

(5,293 posts)It's what Nixon did with the southern bigots.
It's what Newt and Limbaugh did with the dittoheads.
It's what Cheney did with W.
It's what the Republicans did with the Tea Party.
It's what they're doing now with Q and the militias.
They always welcome: the mob, expecting to control them, only to have the mob take over and go looking for the next set of stones they think they'll be able to control. Repeat.
