Josh Marshall and his team at TalkingPointsMemo have been doing a fantastic job for these past four years documenting Trump's AG turnstile that finally landed him the cover-up artist Barr, whose lawyering for government criminals goes back to the Reagan administration. And that man is good at what he does, for he has no shame; it's team-first and damn the Constitution.

And at some point, it no longer became reductionist to call Nixon a criminal. His AG ended up doing 19 months, and that was nothing compared to what these mofos are doing.

Also, h/t to Marcy Wheeler at emptywheel.net for her fine reporting on the transgressions of the Trump administration.

Barr actually got his start even before the Reagan admin. In the 70s he helped the CIA fight the various measures that came out of the Church Commission to impose some measure of accountability on the intelligence community.

None of the three Attorneys General of the Obama administration chose to release this content either, and ProPublica didn't complain.
