WASHINGTON The usual critics spent the past two years damning Attorney General Bill Barr as a shameless lackey in President Donald Trump s service, so it should be no surprise that, even as Barr announced his resignation Monday, the chattering class continued to call him names.
Washington Post columnist Ruth Marcus damned Barr s bootlicking resignation letter, and her colleague Robin Givhan dismissed him as a gray-suited lump and Trump s protective bunker.
Fortunately for Barr, these barbs mean nothing. He didn t take on the job of attorney general for the second time he first served under President George H.W. Bush to make friends. Barr went in to right a wrong of the Department of Justice s making: an investigation of Trump fueled on misinformation.
