and it's a big if -- if the Attorney General had any intention of following the law, even (in this case) what he himself declared to be the law when asked about just such a situation during his confirmation hearing.
Stone and Trump could come out in public and admit, together, that the commutation was given as a reward for Stone's silence, They could do a song and dance -- complete with top hat and cane -- in front of the White House about it, do videos for Fox News viewers' eager and drooling consumption about how Trump could do anything he wanted because he was president, hoo-hah! And Barr would still do nothing because that's his job: to do nothing that would hurt this president or infringe on his right and power to do whatever ugly thing he wants to do.
Question to Barr: Do you think the song and dance, complete with top hat and cane, that Trump and Stone did in front of the White House and national news media cameras laughing about the quid pro quo including the lines:
Stone: There's no need for me to do repentance
Trump: Because I'll just commute his sentence!
Do you think that act is enough to warrant an investigation by your agency, especially considering that it was viewed by more than 15 million Americans, all of whom have registered shock and nausea about it?
Barr responding: I . . .I . . .hmmm. . . I was not aware of nor did I see this song and dance you're talking about.
