Why Barr did what he did:

1) He was instructed to do it;

2) He was confident that he would have "cover" for his lies;

3) He knows that there are no standards of behavior anymore and that the American people are so beaten down that there will be no consequences.

He betrayed a close friend and violated the oath he took when he became a lawyer and a public servant. He spit on the legacies of Elliot Richardson and Archibald Cox.

He didn't do all of this in the heat of the moment. He planned for it. He telegraphed it in his 19 page "job application."

He did all of this for Donald Trump and it will haunt him for the rest of his life and be the headline on his obituary notice.

Sad, very, very, very sad.

If Impeachment is so bad for Democrats, why

isn't Trump trying to goad them into doing it? Why is he fighting so hard against it? If he's so against it, I think we should definitely do it.

Trump's targeting of Ilhan Omar is the closest thing to him shooting someone on 5th Avenue. He's

put a bounty on her head. Where are our leaders on this? Nowhere, as far as I can see.
