Shorter WaPo: Yep, he’s a fascist, but he’s so competent and professional at it. As a Democrat, what’s not to like?
Not yet for me. Maybe not ever. Many many questions, not enough answers. Facts, facts facts...
Trump2020
Always thirsty to ascribe benign motives to toxic people.
He was up to his ass in Iran Contra pardons. Pass.
Homework, do some homework!!!!
Did Trump make the trust the democrat mistake again?
but chuck S. always put up a road block [ William Barr] ?
If William Barr had a distinguished career to date, that will all be history, if he takes a Trump appointment. Trump taints everyone. He seems willing to take the plunge into Trumps world...and that takes loyalty to Trump to survive
Give it a few months...everyone of them is hot to trot to kiss the ring...and then reality sets in and the street under the bus looms....
Unless he doesn’t recuse himself.
Because Trump doesn’t really know who he appoints very well.
Thankfully - this is just an opinion piece. Phew. That Democrat was talking nonesene, although of course entitled to his opinion, which is “yes, he’s bad - but not that bad.”
I wouldn't get too excited over one in a thousand..
harrylitman why would any half-decent, ethical individual choose to work in this corrupt administration
(Shrug)
We don’t need whack job conservative talking about abortion and more prisons!
As Deputy AG, Barr – successfully pushed for the withdrawal of a proposed Depart. of Health &Human Services rule that would have allowed people with HIV/AIDS into the US.He also advocated the use of Guantanamo Bay to prevent Haitian refugee/HIV infected peoples claiming asylum
You've got to be kidding.
Trying to win over moderates Pre election
Um. What. No.
This will age poorly.
The words excellent, choice, and president do not belong in the same article, much less the same sentence. You're encouraged to try harder.
Is the author Manchin?
oh God this was said about Rex/Matthis/ Kelly--please sick of it
Nosafetypinneed wrong Barr. should have been this Barr. we remember . he led the impeachment of the wicked witch's rapist husband, bill 'better put some ice on that' clinton.
There was some “Democrat” who said Neil Gorsuch was a great guy too when he was nominated to the Supreme Court. ThanksButNoThanks

Barr is a recycled swamp RAT still floating around the D.C. cesspool.
The only thing that worries me about William Barr is the fact that realDonaldTrump selected him. That would make anyone look worse than they otherwise might.
This article ignores the fact that Mr. Barr de-criminalized Iran Contra which is very relevant to today. A big gloss over.
DINO
Ya gotta be realistic about the fact that a Republican President is gonna nominate a conservative AG. Like did y'all expect that Republican AG's are gonna be progressives
An excellent choice? Why? Because he already knows how to advise presidents on how to pardon criminals?
This kind of ' relieved it's not another half -assed place holder ' punditry, is the same bromide as ' Trump finally looked presidential ' line of trash.. The best I would call these commentators is......a flock of ravens.....an unkindness......to the real truth ,
You think that after it has come out that Barr was trying to become personal lawyer for Trump in his collusion mess
Opinion: leave the democratic party if you feel that way
Yeah..... about that
I’m so fucking sick of articles like this every time.
DINO
You're a Republican.
As if trump actually thought of him as the pick...?
Excellent for himself - Comey firing justifiable and executive power not to be limited!
Isn't that special. Barr stated that the right of privacy does not extend to abortion. I say the right of privacy doesn't extend to his sex life, nor that of any other man who takes this position. Fair is fair.
Most Democrats will oppose him and everything Trump proposes out of pure spite.
A lot of Republicans who were reasonable and patriotic then subsequently became totalitarian slime balls. Let’s make sure Barr isn’t one of them.
Count me as one Independent who thinks Sally Yates would be a more excellent choice....
Don't bury the lead. You got to what you really are all about right at the end of this almost never-ending article. It's where you write that you're just fine with clipping Mueller' wings. That's the crux of this piece 750 words in. You have the right to your POV, but own it.
You have more to learn about Barr then!
I tend to get suspicious of anybody Trump chooses. Sorry.
Embarrassing that the post would publish this. “Maybe Barr will kill a child? Maybe he won’t? It’s up to him to decide. Either way, he’s tough.” This is bullshit
He will still find a way to F it up
Please stop with this kind of crap.
Seriously? Whether Barr is a good choice or not, there is always a double-motive with the orange idiot. This is not a brilliant or politically savvy move. There is something more sinister behind his moves/choices. There always is. And self-interest.
Do we have to do this every time?
Cool story, go away.
count me as someone who says no to uranium one tin foil hat guy
Wouldnt get over my skiis quite yet. There’s a reason he picked him...and its not for the good of our country 🇺🇸
Just another reminder that at its core the DOJ skews conservative.
You had better be careful, because Trump never does something that will not benefit him in the long run Mr. William Barr!
Are we really doing this again? Anybody still willing to take a job with this administration is an unprincipled hack. We don't have to pretend we don't know this.
Hello, I am a time traveler from the year 1990 who knows literally nothing about why this all seems deeply silly by now.
That's what I am afraid of its a Bush boy
Hard pass.
REALITY: Your opinion is sh!t.
Well I’ll be damned.
Melt down 3-2-1
I am glad you are not part of the confirmation process
Anyone willing to say yes and join his admin is trash.
gross
Yeah, for him.
How about a recent picture?
