Mitch McConnell and AG Barr have corrupted their branches of government in a very similar manner.

Both have decided that they work for the Executive, and not the people. They have shattered the wall of separation of powers.

AG Barr has become the lawyer for the President, rather than the lawyer for the people. This is a disgraceful position for him to take.

Likewise, Mitch McConnell, who should be assisting the House in their charges against the Executive, has decided to divorce himself from the principle of separation of powers, and to work for Donald J Trump instead.

Both men are doing a job they were not hired to do.

Both are doing the job that Trump hired them to do...and that had nothing to do with the US Constitution, the people, or the good of this country!

McConnell divorced himself from any principles when he refused to allow Judge Garland a fair hearing by the Judiciary Committee and then a vote by the full Senate!

Remember, Barr already had a history as a fanatical supporter of the Unitary Executive...that's why Trump nominated him!!!
