You can’t scream at people until they are effective. Temper tantrums are no substitute for competence.
Yes and yes.

The Bari Weiss Maneuver
Barr’s going to quit, but the narrative will be that he was fired so he can do what is necessary to be treated well in elite DC law circles. All he has to do is imply with a wiggle of his eyebrow that maybe Trump wasn’t the God King after all, and “How Bill Barr Saved Democracy” pieces will come pouring out.
Elite Law really is a sick, sick institution. The worst people in the world, earning millions defending child slavery or worse, all while communicating to the world that they are Serious Scholars who spend their days defending indigent clients pro bono, or whatever. Hustlers masquerading as philosophers.
Would be fun if he held a rally and in the middle of it, 1 minute after Biden is sworn in, the stage is swarmed by law enforcement coming to arrest him and complete some of those secret warrants.
Ok, that would be the second reason to watch him on Inauguration Day. I must confess to watching a few minutes in 2017, just to see if 45 would be struck by lightning when he touched the Bible.
Trump should be very careful whom of his cronies he pardons, because whoever has been pardoned can no longer plead the 5th regarding whatever it is that they were pardoned for. It would really suck for Trump if they could be compelled to give evidence that implicates him in some sort of wrongdoing.
I’m thinking that if Barr and the rest of the inner circle have committed crimes that are not known to the public so far, but they are afraid when a new administration gets access to government documents the proof will be found out, then they might very well be strategizing about having trump pardon Barr for everything he’s done up to the point he leaves office. In comparison to those (hypothetical) crimes, not testifying and risking being held in contempt might be a very nice alternative. Of course it might never even come to that if no one brings a case, or subpoenas Barr, or does anything about it if he lies or refuses to talk. So it might be a good gamble for them.
I’ll bet there’s one hell of a lot of document (and data disk) shredding that’s going to be happening real soon. (if it has not already begun)
And this is why Barr cannot expect a pardon from Lord Dampnut.
As @Brainspore mentioned, all those ‘Attaboys’ earned by Barr are wiped out by the ‘Aw Shit’ he committed by not hewing to the narrative.
Looks like @Ratel nailed it, re: the Bari Weiss Maneuver.
Barr plans to slink back into the swamp from whence he came…
Going to be crude and go with:
“Similar size hairy boobs in both pictures…”
