Yes, the "losers and suckers" quote was bad, but we all knew Trump had no respect for the Military.
Yes, The Woodward book shows he lied about COVID, but we always knew he was lying about COVID.
But Barr making the DOJ Trump's personal law firm for a civil case that has nothing to do with the Administration or his office is a complete and unprecedented corruption of the institutions of Government.
