Wow. This is unsettling in the face of lots of unsettling things

[Stinky The Clown]

A conspiracy theorist AG.

1. Only if it suits Trump of course.

2. playing to the audience of one. nt

3. Now we know how he landed the job.

4. "CT Barr!" Sounds like a carnival act! n/t

[Glimmer of Hope]

5. Why though? I think he is compromised

[BigmanPigman]

6. That is what a guest on MSNBC just said.

Neal Katyal said Barr is like tRump. Each one is out to benefit himself and will do anything to protect himself and his position of power. He said Barr has crossed over into the "tin foil hat" crowd and he never thought he'd see this from Barr. Barr has become one of "them".

7. I think he's just parroting what

Trump told him to say. His lips are superglued to Trump's ass. Like any good consilgliere, he takes his direction from The Don.

8. It's to cast doubt on the legitimacy of FISA court and intel agencies that provided probable cause.

If it were only some weird thing like "conspiracy."

But it's much bigger. It's to feed right wing media's attempt to help Trump delegitimize the whole start of the FBI's investigation of what intel found from our allies while they were spying on Russian cyber activities.

Rachel said that's what's happening.

Barr only looks as if he's setting rabbits loose for journalists of the base's media to follow, not caring that the rest of media covered this ground by the time the Special Counsel got under way after Comey got fired.

Barr dogwhistled "spying" as a new message to the whole Trump ecosystem.

This ain't tinfoil.

This is the lizard prez's strategy.

9. Worse. A Republican partisan running a coverup and willing to lie for Trump.
