Victoria Toensing has a son who moved from her law firm to DOJ as Senior Counsel under Bill Barr



Scott Stedman @ScottMStedman

I find it very concerning that Victoria Toensing, who has been thrust into the middle of the Ukraine scandal, has a son who moved from her law firm (the same law firm that signed up to rep Firtash and Parnas) to DOJ as Senior Counsel under Bill Barr.

CNN reports that McGaughey, the husband of Barr’s youngest daughter, has been hired as an attorney in the White House counsel’s office, where he’ll “advise the president, the executive office, and White House staff on legal issues concerning the president and the presidency.”

This is not Constitutional structure. This is stonewalling and obfuscation.

It’s just absolute madness. In all my 60+ years, I have NEVER seen the so-called “leadership” our country this bad.

Nixon. Reagan. dubya. The Kennedy assassination, and Dr. King’s and Bobby Kennedy’s too. Vietnam and Watergate, Iran/Contra, 9/11 and Iraq. I’ve been around for all of that with enough awareness to take note. And none of that is quite as horrific as this, now. As far as who we are and what our place in the world is.

This is a colossal disgrace. And by now it’s been allowed to go on for so long and caused so much deep damage that I’m not sure how we ever fully recover.
