Remember how everyone in D.C. was saying what a straight shooter William Barr would be?
We heard exactly the same about John Durham....turns out they are both working for trump.
Completely compromised.
What a gullible nation we've become under this wannabe dictator.

And this is exactly why he was hired by Trump.

How can you have nothing relevant and still have enough info to disagree with the ig report?
Oh, and nobody in washington thought barr would be a straight shooter. They all knew he would be a toadie after his love letter to trump was released. They confirmed him anyway, or because of it.

It wasn't all straight shooter talk. Well, maybe on npr and fox it was.

(16,616 posts)Some really smart people on MSNBC and CNN said he had a serious reputation and "a legacy" to protect. But it's true some reporters dug deeper and found serious issues dating back to at least the Clinton presidency, maybe even GHW Bush.
