So, responsibility for all the chaos and death and destruction of our lives since 2019..

..is on William Barr.

All of it could have been prevented had he simply released the Mueller information intact.

Arguably, Covid deaths are on him.

Arguably, growing chaos in the land since 2019 is on him.

He could have stopped Trump.

He chose poorly. And then he weaseled out of responsibility.

Good point. Barr's refusal to allow the truth about Trump crimes to be told is what allowed the whole MAGAsphere to decompensate, flourish, run bat-shit-crazy. The insanity we see every day on the MAGA right is the direct responsibility of Bill Barr hiding truth. Holy sh*t.

2. Recommended.

It actually would have taken another step by Barr. Releasing the report alone would have, at very most, resulted in the House impeaching Trump, and the Senate refusing to convict. Had Barr allowed a criminal prosecution, it would have likely stopped the horrors.

3. the Senate would have had a harder time refusing to convict..

...if the report had been released showing Mueller's evidence and conclusion.

And here's the thing.

MAGA world has flourished largely on the idea that Trump had done nothing wrong. His grievance mining on false claims of innocence drove a lot of the animus in the crowds.

4. Republicans

in the Senate would not have voted to convict him. There is really zero chance they would have, as clearly evidenced by the two impeachment cases they tried. Thus, if impeached -- and he should have been -- the maggot crowd would have believed he did nothing wrong.

We are no longer in an era where the rule of law is important to republicans in office, or where rational thought can be applied to the maggot crowd. Trump's stealing classified documents reinforces the previous proof of this.

Again, I consider Barr one of the worst people ever in any office. Like John Mitchell, he should be incarcerated.

5. I met Wm Barr when he was AG the first time around.

I was introduced to him at an event in D.C. -- he was the speaker there.

I have never forgotten my gut reaction to him. I have never had that reaction to anyone else, even to Kenneth Starr when I met him -- creepy as he is.

My gut sensed something bad in Barr. Like "something wicked this way comes" -- never forgot it. It was the hubris and his evident glee in his power as AG.

6. He is a creep.

Donald Barr, his father, was in the OSS before it became the CIA. It was he who recruited Jeffery Epstein.

Ken Starr always struck me more as a rigid asshole, than absolute creep like the Barr family. I think that even John Mithell was a better person than Barr -- or less worse.
