THE DANGER OF BARR PARROTING TRUMP CONSPIRACY THEORIES

It legitimizes the falsehoods

They’re out to get me
It a coup
It’s the Deep State

And if he loses in 2020? Will he refuse to relinquish office because the system is “rigged”?

Democracy stands at the edge of a precipice

Think Barr was simply being loose with his language? Consider-he said

“I THINK SPYING ON A POLITICAL CAMPAIGN IS A BIG DEAL”

That implies he knew EXACTLY what he was saying

He’s not Matt Whitaker

Also HE KNEW THIS CLAIM HAD ALREADY BEEN DEBUNKED

Combine this with

The memo he sent to Trump undermining the Mueller investigation

Giving life to ANOTHER Trump talking point by prejudging Meuller’s conclusions

And you have a man who apparently decided sycophancy was more important than his principles

Of course we US citizens are the real losers here

More people will hear Trump’s lies about this

More will believe them, because they contain the imprimatur of the Attorney General

We become more divided, which helps our enemies: Putin, Kim Jong-un

Trust in our intelligence services will be further eroded

And fewer-on both sides-will believe they can receive fair treatment by the DOJ

IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY

We can CHANGE our country

Take action. Pick a candidate. Get involved
