As a longtime Trump skeptic, I have been impressed in general with the caliber of his Cabinet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’ve been a little depressed at the turnover in that excellent cabinet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The WSJ contrasts the quality and integrity of Attorneys General between Bob Barr, Trump’s AG, and Obama’s Loretta Lynch:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Democrats and the media are turning the AG into a villain for doing his duty and making the hard decisions that special counsel Robert Mueller abdicated.
Mr. Barr\u2019s Wednesday testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee was preceded late Tuesday by the leak of a letter Mr. Mueller had sent the AG on March 27. Mr. Mueller griped in the letter that Mr. Barr\u2019s four-page explanation to Congress of the principal conclusions of the Mueller report on March 24 \u201cdid not fully capture the context, nature, and substance\u201d of the Mueller team\u2019s \u201cwork and conclusions.\u201d Only in Washington could this exercise in posterior covering be puffed into a mini-outrage…Contrast that to the abdication of Loretta Lynch, who failed as Barack Obama\u2019s last Attorney General to make a prosecutorial judgment about Hillary Clinton\u2019s misuse of classified information. Ms. Lynch cowered before the bullying of then FBI director James Comey, who absolved Mrs. Clinton of wrongdoing while publicly scolding her. That egregious break with Justice policy eventually led Mr. Comey to re-open the Clinton probe in late October 2016, which helped to elect Mr. Trump…This trashing of Bill Barr shows how frustrated and angry Democrats continue to be that the special counsel came up empty in his Russia collusion probe. He was supposed to be their fast-track to impeachment. Now they\u2019re left trying to gin up an obstruction tale, but the probe wasn\u2019t obstructed and there was no underlying crime. So they\u2019re shouting and pounding the table against Bill Barr for acting like a real Attorney General
