Barr is lauded by the media...

... as having "integrity" yet he stated, in writing, that the bogus uranium 1 and Clinton Foundation "controversies" are far more worthy of Justice Department investigations than MF45's ties to Russia.

That's not integrity it's foolishness.

if a private citizen right-wing wacko goes on a rant about clinton "scandals", that's foolishness, sure.

but if a prospective attorney general does that, it's a corrupt appeal to donnie and republican senators and a horrific abuse of government powers to turn the department of justice into a vehicle for partisan political retribution.
