and also refusing to indict Hunter Biden. Let's not give Barr credit for a conscience he does not have over the pardons.

I cannot believe Wilson actually thinks Barr has scruples, especially after the unnecessary overkill of ass-kissing in his farewell letter.

They are forever a part of Barr's legacy of undermining the DOJ and the rule of law.

Y'all it is time to take a hard look at Wilson, the Lincoln Project, etc. going forward. Cast a skeptical eye on what you see them propagate and don't get sucked in.

Now that Trump is on his way out, they are gonna try to start rehabbing the GOP's reputation *including people like Barr* who enabled Trump because they know they can't ditch everyone who served Trump and still have a functional party.
