AG William Barr is a disgrace, a political hack with zero credibility who constantly embarrasses himself and the Justice Department.

His comments sound like they're from a campaign spokesperson, not the nation's top law enforcement official.

For example: (1/3) https://twitter.com/mattzap/status/1248072110779621380
- Calls stay-home measures "draconian" (thanks for the medical opinion, doctor Barr), parrots Trump rally cries;

- Calls Russia investigation "one of great travesties in American history" (Barr already got caught by Mueller and a fed judge lying to the public about this); (2/3)
- Criticizes media for asking not-nice questions of Trump (this is what our top law enforcement official is worried about)

- Claims media on a "jihad" against Trump's ideas (speaks for itself).

You want to go work for the campaign, fine. Stop dragging down DOJ with you. (3/3)
