Bill Barr is a horrible character. He is the villain in the movie for whose demise we root the whole time, even occasionally tossing popcorn at the screen in anger when he escapes yet another trap set for him.

At some moment, though, and despite our certainty that he has not been fully reformed, our evil-doing nemesis does or says something that aligns his energy for the moment with our own. No one doubts that we will part ways again, angrily yelling profanities at each other, but for time being the alliance is a welcomed one.

Welcome aboard, former-AG Barr. We love that you, with your deep wealth of insider knowledge from when you used to protect the orange demon, are now chipping away at his Teflon.

Keep it up…may I call you (do I even want to) “sir?”

Go, Bill Barr

The latest in a long line of former aides who spent as long as they could riding the Trump rollercoaster before either being pushed off or voluntarily jumping, Bill Barr is speaking out. Barr, however, left in a way that many wish they had and that graceful exit actually makes his words seem more forceful.
