“In for a penny, in for a pound.”*

These were the words of the Attorney General William Barr to President George H. W. Bush when Bush wanted to Pardon Casper Weinberger in December 1992. Barr persuaded Bush to pardon all six of the Iran Contra criminals — not just Weinberger.

Barr was a dirtbag then, just like he is now. 

I just listened to his overview of the Mueller report, and I have never been more sickened. He is no more than a lackey for this disgrace of a president.

Barr, like Nixon and Brett Kavanaugh, comes from the ilk that the president can do no wrong. Remember Nixon’s words, “if the president does it, it is legal.” When did we become a nation that allows a president to be above the law? Nixon went through several Attorney Generals.

I am ashamed! Why aren’t you?

When I listened to Attorney General Barr being questioned by a Congressional committee member a week or so ago, I knew we were in trouble. When he was asked if he would seek the permission of a judge to release everything — just like Ken Starr did with Clinton and Nixon’s special prosecutor did — he did not answer.

When asked again — point blank — will you seek a judge’s order to release everything, he said, "that is not my intention". The fix was in.

Alexander Hamilton 

Alexander Hamilton is rolling over in his grave! In his paper, Federalist No. 78, Alexander Hamilton warned there is no liberty if the power of judging is not separated from the legislative and executive powers. Barr is to represent the people — not some corrupt con man president.

*"I favored the broadest pardon authority," Barr said (about Iran- Contra Weinberger. "There were some people just arguing just for Weinberger. I said, 'No — in for a penny, in for a pound.' "
