the justice department as the head of the office of legal counsel, as the attorney general previously. that strikes me as wrong. what he's doing is writing a memo about his use of the law that at least one prominent professor jack olsen says are pretty standard. i think graham will say look, this is a man with a lot of experience. by all accounts, democrats and republicans alike admit he's a serious person with a lot of stand up to donald trump. the question is what happened to the recusal question. eric: if the probe is a roadblock for mr. barr, and what avenues will this be a smoother ride for him and ultimately will william barr be confirmed? >> i think it's hard to bet against barr been confirmed when you have a larger republican majority in the senate. i don't have a lot of faith and
