Barr is notably for a surveillance state, more or less. Relying on a pick of Trump's to solve anything in the Valley is a recipe for disaster.

Do you know of a WH official that was ever against the surveillance state?

And why does trump picking him make him automatically a disaster?

I feel like this is being completely dismissive of any kind of progress that could be made because orange man is bad.

I think the heuristic is whether someone accepts a nomination from trump.

Because President Trump doesn't have a great record in picking nor retaining people.

Pretty much this, yeah. Just because we're on HN doesn't mean reality (GOP rot) goes out the window.

A fish rots from the head down, and Trump's avowed preference would be to attack companies for spite if they haven't been nice to him personally. Those kind of regulations are probably not productive.
