Here are five takeaways from Barr’s testimony.

1. He is all in as a partisan player

2. Under increased scrutiny, Barr is not backing down from sending federal agents into cities

3. Barr doesn’t think police have a racism problem

4. Barr continued to cast doubt about voting by mail

5. Barr hesitates to say a president shouldn’t accept foreign help to get elected

The AG becoming the President's personal power puppy is very dangerous to our democracy and leaves us open and vulnerable to de facto, (undeclared) Martial Law like we have seen.

That has to change once we flush this toxic toilet full.

In order to keep this from happening again, the scandals must be publicized and the traitors hauled off in chains.

There is no healing if the rot isn't excised from the wound.
