...at the minimum, conspiracy, but probably when the wheels come off, much more.

Everything and everyone Trump touches turns to shit; unfortunately he has his tiny fingers on the United States.

While he was Nixon's AG during his first term, Mitchell acted to restrict civil rights in a variety of ways, including by encouraging the use of no-knock warrants and other police behavior mostly directed at PoC. But he really broke bad after he left the DoJ in 1971 to become Nixon's campaign manager for the 1972 election. He was up to his ears in the dirty tricks and money-laundering schemes related to Watergate, and even had his own wife drugged so she wouldn't talk to the media. Eventually he was convicted of conspiracy, obstruction of justice, and perjury. Barr is doing his dirty tricks in his capacity as Attorney General, which is arguably even worse.

Dorothy Hunt, wife of Watergate burglar E. Howard Hunt, died in the crash of United Airlines Flight 533 on December 8, 1972. At the time and in subsequent years, there were many rumors -- some of them quite bizarre -- about that flight, although the NTSB concluded that there was no evidence of sabotage. The conspiracy theory was promoted by a guy named Sherman Skolnick, a bizarre figure in his own right; he used to maintain a "dial a conspiracy" phone line.

Although none of Skolnick's "evidence" was persuasive, it is true that Dorothy Hunt was carrying $10,000 in $100 bills when the plane went down. I'm sure there's an innocent explanation for that.

Somewhere on the internet, you can find a recording of CIA Director Richard Helms breaking the news to Richard Nixon during a phone call. Nixon seemed genuinely unsettled; Helms -- as per his usual -- was enigmatic and unreadable.

Nixon's Attorney General John Mitchell was convicted of Perjury, Obstruction of Justice and Conspiracy trying to protect a criminal president. He went to prison for 19 months.
Trump's Attorney General William Barr deserves to suffer a much longer sentence when this is all over.

x's a billion

Barr is completely soul-less

he's a fascist. was Mitchell a fascist? i remember Martha better than John.

that Barr is the result of mixing John Mitchell and Ed Meese's DNA.

Barr has Meese's looks.

Edit to add:

WAit a minute. Are you sure it wasn't Fred Dalton Thompson and Ed Meese?

That motherfucker is evil incarnate.

aiding in treason to name two.

... or something !!

lol ... yeah, a person can do some serious time for OoJ ... Martha Stewart did some time for it IINM

He needs to be unemployed.

the Ukrainian president's phone call with trump broke?

I'm betting it was some no good, cover his and trump's ass bullshit.

as long as he would sell his soul for Trump.

But Barr’s incentive is a seat on the Supreme Court. Mitchell just wanted to be more powerful than J Edgar Hoover.

Desitively.

we’ll find out some day.

Is he worse than Mitchell? Time will tell.

security, or conspired with a foreign power against our Democracy

with the Vietnamese in '68.

But Mitchell wasn't part of that.

sure, however, what Reagan did with the Iran/Contra I would say was much closer to treason

and of course Bush 1 was involved in that and keeping the hostages before the 1980 election.

And what Bush 2 did!!

So every Republican President in the last 50 years has betrayed the country.

When you an "is Bill Barr more corrupt than ..." the answer is Yes.

I am beginning to think that the man is Satan incarnate. If there is one person I want to go down besides Trump, it's him. In fact, I think he needs to go down first because with him in the way, Trump will never go down.

It goes Trump, then McConnell, and then Barr. I hope they all die penniless in isolation at a federal prison, served gruel three times a day in a cell decorated with Obama and Hillary wallpaper.

I like the way you think! It's beautifully twisted!

I first read your caption as Is Bill Barr more corrupt than Joni Mitchell?

I was like no not Joni!

But the answer to your question is yes, of course he is.

Barr on the other hand is an Opus Dei dominionist who is fighting against the 'secular takeover of America'. God protect us from religious nuts.
