Gawd, so hard to believe anyone could stomach the guy long enough to work for him longer than a week or two.
When I read about AG Barr doing the obvious thing and telling him he was full of shit over the voter fraud crap, in so many words — when so many others (including himself) had enabled Trump and his worst tendencies for so so long — it was quite cathartic.
Barr may be a partisan hack, but he is a real lawyer. Unlike Giuliani, who hasn’t practiced law in decades, and long, long ago effectively traded away his law license for political fame, the speaking circuit, and influence-peddling. (As of just a few days ago, New York has made that official by suspending Giuliani’s license in light of his grievous election-related lies).
AG Barr in that moment was doing something quite simple. Just being a lawyer — just doing his job, examining the facts, and breaking bad news to his client, the way all lawyers must at some point. (The AG isn’t *technically* the President’s attorney, but the relationship is close)
A small glimmer of reality intruding and order being restored in the word.
