“It was staged!” Former Nixon lawyer calls out Barr’s Trump “criticism” as nothing but smokescreen
Yesterday, Attorney General William Barr took the surprising step of publicly criticizing the President, complaining that his tweets “make it impossible for me to do my job.”
While at first glance it appeared to be an extremely rare rebuke of the President, the more discerning commentators quickly realized that all he was doing was attempting to soothe tensions in the Justice Department, which has been wracked with the resignations of at least five prosecutors over the Attorney General’s decision to revise the sentencing memo for convicted Trump associate Roger Stone.
President Nixon’s former White House Counsel, John Dean, is an expert at detecting dishonesty in the affairs of corrupt presidents and quickly took to Twitter to make it clear that he believes the entire thing was staged with Trump’s knowledge.
