Do Barr, Pompeo and Giuliani share a death wish?

By VIRGINIA HEFFERNAN
OCT. 3, 2019 3 AM

Atty. Gen. William Barr, who is deeply embroiled in the Trump-Ukraine affair, doesn’t care about his place in history. “I’m at the end of my career,” he told Jan Crawford of CBS in March. “Everyone dies.”

Rudolph Giuliani, the president’s fixer, who is even more deeply embroiled in the Trump-Ukraine affair, is likewise indifferent. “I don’t care about my legacy,” he told the New Yorker last month. “I’ll be dead.”

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, 55, who is especially embroiled in the Trump-Ukraine affair, also has his eye on an End Times cleansing. “It is a never-ending struggle,” he told a Kansas church group, describing his work for the president. “Until the Rapture” ...

Let me propose an epitaph, suitable for any of these men when the time comes: “He’s gone where subpoenas can lacerate his heart no more” ...

I've heard a lot of bad guys try to justify their crimes, but never heard an admission this immoral and nihilistic. I wonder if Barr has children? Grandchildren? What a pathetic way to go out.

Pompey is playing to the Evangelical base who Trump needs to try to cling to power.

Mike, where do you go if you die before The Rapture? Or is he going to bring it about? Scary shit. He believes THe Bible but not the part about telling the truth and being a good person.

And again made an example of people in higher positions in government do have severe consequences for crimes they take part in, or our justice system is worthless. Barr and Pompeno both need to be impeached right now for there crimes, and ghouliani needs to be disbarred for his.

Perhaps the old opposition research, has been superceded by putin kompromat on all key players. Worked for der Fuehrer.
