Attorney General William Barr dining at the Trump hotel is a bad look

Barr was photographed at the Trump International on a night when it hosted a pro-Trump Super PAC.

Attorney General William Barr was photographed dining at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, DC, on Wednesday night — a business his boss, President Donald Trump, still owns and profits from, and one that has become something of a de facto clubhouse for businesspeople and government officials looking to curry favor with the president.

Zach Everson, who reports on conflicts of interest stemming from the Trump International Hotel, tweeted that it was his “first time seeing Barr” at the hotel.

Trump was also at the hotel for an event hosted by America First Action, the Super PAC supporting his reelection. CNN’s Jeremy Diamond reported that the plan was for Trump to address “high-dollar donors” who have contributed to his reelection effort.

ABC’s Ali Dukakis snapped a photo of Barr dining at a restaurant in the hotel.

1. It Was Definitely an "In Your Face" Move by Barr

Barr appears to believe he’s untouchable.

2. My first thought

Was it would be even worse if he was eating for free.

Then I remembered it was Trump and I thought "no way"

4. That would not happen!

Trump probably charges Melania and kids to eat there!

3. That ship has sailed for Barr.

Everything he does is a bad look.

6. I tend to agree

He probably thinks (and correctly), "there's nothing else I could do to worsen my rep with our opponents or improve it with our supporters, so why the hell not? The food was decent, and that young lady afterward must have a doctorate in physical therapy."

8. And the worm has turned.

So to speak.

5. Must have been comped...

Those books should be interesting.

7. The IDGAF A.G.

It's all in plain sight, there's not even the slightest attempt to pretend what we're seein' ain't what we're seein'.

Hopefully, this will all become a sickening footnote to history after November 2020.
