Which is highly likely.

The question is did he tell anyone like rudy or trump (who would tell rudy) and could hyde have been tipped off it was coming.

6. Yes & no. Barr can interfere in many ways, but are many policies enhancing independence from AG

I think this would be an investigation launched in response to a complaint lodged with a field office. Barr might actually only become aware of it as it makes the news.

I am only speculating, however. The fish rots from the head down and Barr is rotten.

And the oppression from the treasonous rePutican vampires would be worse than it already is.

Thank goodness we have strong democrats running things, able to set the agenda.

I don't want to be hostile.
I don't want to be dismal.
But I don't want to rot in an apathetic existence either.
See I want to believe you,
And I want to trust
And I want to have faith to put away the dagger.
But you lie, cheat, and steal.


And yet I tolerate you.
