Washington, D.C. – “Get me Barr!” Trump demanded when it came time to select a new attorney general to replace Jeff Sessions.
Although many Democrats don’t like William Barr’s Republican political leanings, they will not deny he is actually qualified for the position. He has already served as attorney general under George H.W. Bush. His resume is impressive. He said that Jeff Sessions was right to recuse himself from the Trump/Russia investigation. He feels that Robert Mueller should continue his investigation, and even calls himself a friend to Mueller. So everyone was very surprised by this qualified choice for attorney general, by Trump.
The light bulb lit up for everyone when Trump was surprised by who showed up to be sworn in as the new attorney general. “Who’s this? I wanted Roseanne Barr, not this guy, whoever he is.” Ah, that explains it.
