to say that someone else was worse...or is worse is no defense for wrong doing. I hope Barr hasn't done anything unethical or illegal but if he has then he should face consequences for his own transgressions - the bad acts of others is no defense.

I prefer my nuts, bananas are sacred!

Weak minds who have never bothered to read the great philosophers, nor apparently take a basic course in logic, seem unaware of Constitutional principles, and why they are important. Our Founders created the ONLY system known to humans that protects our rights and removes the need for the supposedly “infallible” and “benign” dictators from the equation.
The massive egos of these self-appointed “elites” have themselves convinced they know what’s “right” for everyone.
In a Democracy, everyone gets to define that for themselves. Liberals seem to believe there "should' be a better way, but without considering the consequences of trashing the best system ever devised by humans to deal with human flaws. So they believe that every deception, lie and fraud is justified to achieve their utopia, even though their solutions like socialism have killed more human souls than any other except Islam. Brilliant. The truth is that they are the only ones lying. That makes their high ideals fraud and they are the bad guys, and delude themselves otherwise. They can't face that and blame Trump and Republicans. Taking responsibility is totally foreign to them.

Typical leftist trickery, do bad shit then blame it on who ever they dislike at the time, the double standard is so in your face I don't see how people cannot see through the whole charade
