Trump Startled By Cozy Barr-Mueller Relationship
« on: January 18, 2019, 02:40:43 am »
Washington (CNN) — President Donald Trump was startled Tuesday as he watched television coverage of his nominee for attorney general describing a warm relationship with the special counsel Robert Mueller in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee, according to three people familiar with the matter.

During the first day of his confirmation hearing, William Barr described telling the President the first time he met him in June 2017 that he was friends with Mueller, referring to him on a first name basis.

"I told him how well I knew Bob Mueller and that the Barrs and Muellers were good friends and would be good friends when this was all over," Barr said. "Bob is a straight-shooter and should be dealt with as such."

Rudy recommended Sessions. I wonder who decided to endorse Barr.

Maybe he should fire him before he's hired.  Who is vetting these people?  Lindsey probably endorsed him.  Another Bush throwback.

AG William Barr: "I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time."

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

Apparently, his qualifications were readily apparent to Trump.


"He was my first choice since Day One," Trump told reporters on the White House's South Lawn before he departed for a speech in Kansas City, also calling Barr a "highly-respected lawyer" and "a brilliant man."

    Trump's pick for attorney general, William Barr, said in 1992 that Roe v. Wade will "ultimately be overturned."
    Barr made the comments in a recently-unearthed CNN interview.
    He said future Supreme Court appointees would undo the decision.

Well, Kushner is his chief advisor, he'd be my guess.
