Before we delve into this episode, quick programming note.
Since leaving office, our favorite reality show star/ex-prez, has apparently lost 14lbs due to a fulltime steady diet of golf, and has returned to a human skin tone abandoning his trademark Cheetoh orange.
Now on to the show— but before we dive in, I have to say that out of all the characters in the Trump Mafia, this guy might be the most perplexing member of his Cabal. There is so much talk and speculation about this guy’s moves during the Trump Regime that his name will live on not just in infamy, but most likely in classrooms, boardrooms and news departments for eons to come as a case study into our very own system of justice. (Please insert your pov on why his conduct is so precedent setting.)
Ladies and Gents, may I present to you- Ex Attorney General William Pelham Barr.
As always, a little background on our target, I mean subject.
Willie Barr is an attorney who served as the 77th and 85th United States Attorney General in the administrations of Presidents George H. W. Bush and you-know-who.
Barr also did a 4yr stint in the 70s at the CIA. Before becoming the AG in ‘91, he held numerous other posts within the Department of Justice, so he got to know his way around the system. From ‘94 to 2008, he did corporate legal work which made him a multimillionaire.
Interestingly enough and most likely reason for his appointment under the Trump administration, was his that Barr was a longtime proponent of the unitary executive theory, which believes the Prez should have TOTAL AND UNFETTERED AUTHORITY over the executive branch of the U.S. government making him the perfect foil for ole Donny boy’s dirty work.
