OF THE
TIMES
William Pelham Barr (born May 23, 1950) is an American attorney and the 77th and 85th United States Attorney General. Barr's second stint in the post began in February 2019 during the Donald Trump administration. He previously served as the 77th Attorney General from 1991 to 1993 during the George H. W. Bush administration.RC
From 1973 to 1977, Barr was employed by the Central Intelligence Agency during his schooling years. He then served as a law clerk to judge Malcolm Richard Wilkey. In the 1980s, Barr worked for the law firm Shaw, Pittman, Potts & Trowbridge, sandwiching a year's work in the White House of the Ronald Reagan administration dealing with legal policies. Before becoming Attorney General in 1991, Barr held numerous other posts within the Department of Justice, including leading the Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) and serving as Deputy Attorney General. From 1994 to 2008, Barr did corporate legal work for GTE and its successor company Verizon Communications, which made him a multimillionaire. From 2009 to 2018, Barr served on the board of directors for Time Warner.
Barr is a longtime proponent of the unitary executive theory of nearly unfettered presidential authority over the executive branch of the U.S. government.[1][2][3] In 1989, Barr, as the head of the OLC, justified the U.S. invasion of Panama to arrest Manuel Noriega. As deputy attorney general, Barr authorized an FBI operation in 1991 which freed hostages at the Talladega federal prison. An influential advocate for tougher criminal justice policies, Barr as attorney general in 1992 authored the report The Case for More Incarceration, where he argued for an increase in the United States incarceration rate.[4] Under Barr's advice, President George H. W. Bush in 1992 pardoned six officials involved in the Iran–Contra affair.
A wise soul stated: If the right-wing media was not such absolute scum, they would be organizing protests in Washington, DC, calling for the resignation of Attorney General William Barr. All of this – every aspect of it – is on him.RC
If he would begin handing out 10-year federal prison sentences to these rioters, this would stop overnight. Millennials are ideological scum, and stupid, fat losers, but above all, they are cowards. The only reason they are going out and doing this is because they know there are no consequences. Nothing at all.
This months-long refusal by Barr to press charges against anyone has created a situation where people know as a matter of fact that he is not going to start charging people. They know they can just do whatever they want. Attack cops, start fires, attack random people on the streets, block traffic and attack cars – whatever. It’s a total free-for-all.
And hey – why the hell not? There’s nothing else to do. Might as well go riot.
