Is Bill Barr trying to save his soul?

Asked by janbb (63254points) December 11th, 2020

A few weeks ago, Barr said that there was no election fraud the could be significant. Now it has come out that he withheld public knowledge of the Hunter Biden tax investigations so they wouldn’t affect the election.

Of course we can’t know, but what do you imagine may have happened to Trump’s puppy dog? Is he trying to redeem himself for post-Trump or did he have a change of heart? Or is something more devious up his sleeve?

I really don’t know and would appreciate some opinions on this.

Bill Barr has never shown bias or played favorites.

Investigating the Russia collusion hoax was not a bias act—it was following the law. Even there, nothing was done.

And nothing will happen to Joe Biden, no matter what the DOJ and Special Prosecutor find.

@Yellowdog I thought the investigation was on Hunter Biden, not Joe Biden.
@janbb I have been wondering the same thing. I think Barr probably realizes he is at the end of his career and unlike others at that point, he maybe is wanting to go out on a good note.

Barr was already retired before Trump appointed him.

@Yellowdog “Bill Barr has never shown bias or played favorites.”
– Um, yes, he has.

Here is an article from the Project On Government Oversight listing “Injustice: Tracking Bill Barr’s Misconduct as Attorney General”, which lists many many cases of Barr lying and abusing his office to try to keep Trump from being investigated, impeached, etc.

Since Trump seems to be leading a large number of people into what’s starting to amount to sedition and other serious crimes, and Barr has some understanding of the relevant laws, I expect he probably sees where things are probably heading, and wanting to avoid some of the worst potential consequences for himself.

Soul? Doubt it. His ass more likely. lol

Well yup. See? I just read the great post above me.

Did anybody here read or seen that news about Barr being a really nasty bully in high-school? And probably college too.
