    Barr does demonstrate Trump's fault of making bad appointments and making appointments from the swamp who then stab him in the back.

    Here is what the ACLU had to say about Barr.

    https://www.aclu.org/blog/national-...lliam-barr-helped-build-americas-surveillance

    William Barr, President Trump’s nominee for attorney general, has a history of getting it wrong. From designing warrantless surveillance programs to justifying the president’s power to disregard acts of Congress, Barr has advanced dubious legal theories that have been rejected by the courts, Congress, and the public.

    As Barr begins the confirmation process, senators must question Barr on his record regarding the right to privacy and the Fourth Amendment — which raises serious concerns about his suitability to be attorney general. Barr has violated or supported violations of Americans constitutional rights, leaving a disastrous legacy of warrantless spying and government abuse.

    So the leftists were right about Barr, he was a poor choice for AG ... which doesn't EXCLUDE Barr being right about Trump.

    How many people have to say the same things about trump, people from his inner circle, before you consider it’s possibly true?

    Yup. And these aren't Democrats saying these things, these are people who believed in Trump when they accepted positions on his staff - they
    only turned on him AFTER they had worked with him for awhile. And that doesn't even give trumpinestas the slightest pause in their
    adoration. That's what I don't get. If 5 people from Biden's staff come out in the next few months saying Biden is no longer fit to serve, then
    I would call for serious investigations on Biden.

    I get that Trump is probably not a likeable person. But so what? Jimmy Carter was very likeable. But a disaster.

    Revelations from the Barr book, et al, strike me as an organized information operation, aka manipulation of the masses I doubt that Barr actually wrote his book any more than Obama actually wrote "Dreams From My Father."

    They didn’t say he was difficult or hard to like.

    Well, Republicans were merciless with Billy Carter for his lack of class and smarts. Well, ahem…. Trump makes Billy look like a Mr. Manners of Mensa.

    Lol…Sounds like another failure by trump to find the best people for the job.
    But then, the best people didn’t want to play lapdog to a malignant narcissist, so he hired the sort of corrupt lowlifes that littered his administration.
    Barr is a disgusting maggot, and his only claim to fame is that he lied about the contents of the Mueller report.

    The OP describes every politician elected to Congress, VP, and President. You are blind and foolish if you believe they care about the people. They are all narcissists who care about power and control and money.

    Except that, in the case of Trump, his followers believed that he truly cared about them. They said they FINALLY had a POTUS who cared about the little guy. It was, of course, a load of garbage - but far too many swallowed it whole.

    You're generalizing to minimize Trump's level of narcissism.

    It won't work.

    No politician before him uses political involvement so much to build a cult of personality.

    Exactly. Barr is no different that Trump was when it comes to using people to get what you want. Barr signed on to work for Trump when it was professionally beneficial to himself, yet he only now tells the real story ?

    And FTR, this is not real news to anyone who is not drinking the Kool-aid. But kid yourself not, the Kool-aid is still being guzzled by the cult.

    Barr is a lefty now ?

    Are you claiming that the "left" made Barr betray Trump ?

    All due respect GM, but there are WAYYYYYY to many examples of the very things Barr is now admitting to, to claim anything but that these were real experiences for him. The idea that Trump was doing anything other than feeding his own narcissism while executing his powers as president goes against the mans own public history. The man has a very public and well documented history of narcissism his entire life, and to now claim that because Barr points it out he is betraying some "principal" is ridiculous.

    The duck quacked, and your surprised its a duck now ?

    Barr is not a reliable source of information. He’s a rank opportunist spinning another tale and shouldn’t be afforded the time of day.

    I wonder what the ratio of all the higher up appointments, between the ones that still stand by Trump and the ones that knock him.

    Nonsense, Mr. Obatard was without equal the biggest cry baby narcists ever elected! If he had to endure the lies and attack the leftist media cult levied on Trump the poor little child of a man would have hidden in a closet and cried and pouted..

    I have to disagree. While we cannot claim to know what he is thinking, his image was not one of a charismatic, likable leader. For me, its about the issues, so I really don't care. I don't like any politicians.
