maybe Trump was swayed by the funeral and "normalcy" of it allHuh, at first glance he appears to be both competent and qualified. I'm shocked.

What William Barr has said:
1) More Clinton probes needed
2) Uranium One more worthy of investigation than collusion
3) Comey firing was AOK
4) Mueller team's donations are too left-leaning
5) It's okay for presidents to request specific investigations

He's a pirate lawyer. He's a member of the Barrrrrrrr.He better have a catch phrase like “I’m William Barr and it’s time for your exam!” or I don’t even care about his actual qualifications
I thought that was the Scott Free guy that Trump tweeted about yesterday.Plus, he plays the bagpipes.

My favorite Lafitte story was when the governor put a bounty on his head.Jean Lafitte received a presidential pardon.

Of the five things mentioned most of the right and some of the left would generally agree withIs the main stream the Bogue Falaya? Because if so you have a point.
Ok take No. 4 (Mueller team's donations are too left-leaning). Trump has donated far more to the Clintons and Democrats than the Mueller team. I bet it's 20-100x more. And Team Trump has 3 former Clinton attorneys (Flood, Lowell and Hendon) (not to mention Davis), while Mueller has one. So why is that ok for your president but not the OSC?Of the five things mentioned most of the right and some of the left would generally agree with
Strong candidatehttps://thehill.com/homenews/administration/420085-former-attorney-general-william-barr-trumps-leading-contender-for-ag
Former Attorney General William Barr is Trump’s leading contender for AG: report
Former Attorney General William Barr is President Trump’s top prospect to be nominated as attorney general, multiple people familiar with the discussions told The Washington Post.
Barr, 68, led the Justice Department (DOJ) from 1991-1993 under President George H.W. Bush and has the support of several White House officials, including a number of senior lawyers in the White House Counsel’s Office, according to the Post.
The Post notes that the decision is not yet final and Trump could change his mind on the matter. Officials said an announcement could be made in the coming days.
“He’s a serious guy,” one source told the paper of Barr. “The president is very, very focused on [a candidate] looking the part, and having credentials consistent with the part.”
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Hill.
A confirmation vote on Barr could take months, leaving acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker at Justice Department's helm.

Yeah, I’m obviously not his biggest fan but he certainly has the credentials. He’s not a scam artist on the board of an invention representation company or anything.Strong candidate
Any confirmation is taking months as the blue side is throwing up roadblocks for every position.A confirmation vote on Barr could take months, leaving acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker at Justice Department's helm.
And by blue side you mean Republican Jeff Flake?Sand said:Any confirmation is taking months as the blue side is throwing up roadblocks for every position.
Yeah that's the problem. Not the fact that the White House barely vets their nominees and has a disturbing tendency to nominate white collar criminals and/or women abusers and/or reactionary dooshbags who post racist screeds on Facebook and/or supremely unqualified idiots who bought their administration jobs.Sand said:Any confirmation is taking months as the blue side is throwing up roadblocks for every position.
Absolutely. I have no problems with more probes into Clinton if there is some evidence of wrongdoing either.Kyle GriffinVerified account @kylegriffin1 2m2 minutes ago

"I will demand that Mr. Barr make a firm and specific commitment to protect the Mueller investigation ... particularly in light of past comments suggesting Mr. Barr was more interested in currying favor with Pres. Trump. than objectively ... analyzing law and facts."
Please. Haven't there already been like 10 Congressional probes or investigations and they got bupkis.Absolutely. I have no problems with more probes into Clinton if there is some evidence of wrongdoing either.
I am not sure how many but if they finally think they have something then go for it.Please. Haven't there already been like 10 Congressional probes or investigations and they got bupkis.
If the 10+ prior investigations into Clinton headed by Republicans failed to find anything, then another one is a complete and total waste of time and taxpayer dollars.I am not sure how many but if they finally think they have something then go for it.
as long as the candidate doesn't want to investigate or come down on Democrats he's a good one then is what you mean ?squistion said:1) More Clinton probes needed
2) Uranium One more worthy of investigation than collusion

Probably but if they have evidence of something else involving the Clintons then it should be investigated if it is credible.If the 10+ prior investigations into Clinton headed by Republicans failed to find anything, then another one is a complete and total waste of time and taxpayer dollars.
If there was anything there, the Republicans would have found it when they controlled both houses of Congress.Probably but if they have evidence of something else involving the Clintons then it should be investigated if it is credible.
Then nothing to worry aboutIf there was anything there, the Republicans would have found it when they controlled both houses of Congress.
Go ahead. Turn her into a martryr. Good luck with that.as long as the candidate doesn't want to investigate or come down on Democrats he's a good one then is what you mean ?
