Quote:
Nonetheless, it should be scary enough that Barr has been shaking the trees at the CIA and FBI in order to find some federal official he can scapegoat to appease Trump. Trump has already bullied people like Peter Strzok and Andrew McCabe out of office, in order to convince his gullible followers that he's the target of a "deep state" conspiracy. .....
There is every sign that Barr intends to keep escalating this scapegoat-hunt. House Democrats' failure to do anything more than issue a toothless ruling finding Barr in contempt of Congress simply signaled to Trump's DOJ hitman that he can do what he wants without fear of serious consequence. If and when he succeeds at ruining the careers of more upright civil servants to feed the endless hunger of Trump's vampiric propaganda machine, Barr will only feel more emboldened to take even stronger steps. The administration will get bolder and bolder in falsifying information and creating scapegoats to justify its conspiracy theories, with the obvious, ultimate goal of muddying voters' understanding of who, exactly, the criminals are here.
