Trump’s brain is such a worm-eaten mess, he doesn’t see that Barr is playing him like a fiddle.
I actually hope (Barr firing) doesn’t happen because, as Paul said earlier this week, it seems pretty clear that the wily old Phalangist is angling to get back in the good graces of as much as the legal establishment as possible. (This may seem ridiculous, but Ken Starr was welcome on the New York Times op-ed page even after presiding over a rape campus. The great elite legal/media circle jerk is nothing if not forgiving.) Getting defenestrated by Trump would only help his efforts; hopefully Jared can explain this to the Don.
