How can Barr open his big fat mouth at this point? Other than to say, I am sorry, before doing an R Bud Dwyer imitation.

Never confirm Todd Blanche. Wage a REVOLUTION instead. TODD BLANCHE IS DONE.

@lerris.bsky.social · 26d

I think it is a pretty safe rule to never make the president's criminal lawyer attorney general particularly when he is actively assisting in the cover up of crimes of the president. Some might say that doing so falls far short of the Senate's duty of advice and consent.

Captanne · 25d

Nope. Nope. Don’t do it.

How'd we get to the point where there's more than a single second of consideration for confirming the president's personal attorney as Attorney General ?

Max Burbank · 25d

Oh, Golly, BILL BARR thinks Todd Blanche is a good idea!! Bill Barr should count his fucking lucky stars that he's writing that shit from the OUTSIDE of a jail cell. He may well avoid consequences on this earth, but he'll spend eternity settling his accounts, and he'll be very hot doing it.

Matthew Nadler · 26d

He could run the department as well as anyone could. Not really a high bar, is it?

@saundo.bsky.social · 26d

That's not exactly the ringing endorsement from Barr.

Bill Barr is criminal trash, and I hope that eventually comes out, as with that whole pit of vipers that Trump came from

Matthew Shallenberger · 25d

"He will run the department as well as anyone could under President Trump" is hardly the endorsement they think it is.

Scott Dawson · 25d

He is so COMPROMISED

JP · 25d

Note that they don’t see he will run it effectively, nor even run it functionally, they just don’t believe anyone else could run a department that corrupt during Trump’s tenure. Telling. Very, very telling.

Mcavity · 26d

Barr is trying to get back into Trump’s good graces. He should know better

Truth Is Constant!! · 26d

William Barr is terrified of investigation about Jeffery Epstein’s death. He wants Blanche because he will bury and scrub files of anything related to Epstein. Barr got the memo from Trump about his own culpability.

@louisbean.bsky.social · 25d

Crooked Trumper; Epstein enabler. All should invest time reading Epstein files. This saga will bust wide open due to diligent investigative reporting by Julie Brown & Ellie Leonard; courage by Democratic & a few republican MCs; & of course the bravery of the survivors. This should’ve ended in 2008.

By Barr's standard, Larry Nasser was well-qualified & could run the medical needs of the US Women's National Gymnastics Team Shit like this infuriates me This guy was a fucking AG & he's saying Blanche's is comprehensively "well-qualified" to run DOJ & it doesn't trigger consequences of any kind

Why now, Bill? Why does he poke his head up now and why is it to do this? I keep saying they've decided to go for it. A complete fascist takeover. Looks like Bill thinks they may win and wants to make sure he's on the right side of the coming New Order. Expect more like this from others.
