The bloated tangerine's corruption knows no bounds.

When Barr looks in a mirror these days, all his suits seem to be turning orange.

"William, I'll pardon you, but I need you to do me a favor first.". SMH

It’s so funny how there are still people claiming he is draining the swamp.

When you can't get your fixer, to fix your bu!!$hit thats a sign there might be trouble.

Trump: "can you open this box. Its ticking "
Barr: "I've opened the last one. All the other ones blew up. Makes me look stupid. No more "

'Completely inappropriate' should be on Trump's tombstone.

[lombardo]

For somebody that did nothing wrong he is trying hard to cover up a “perfect call”

The more Trump gets backed into a corner, the funnier his fiction gets.

Barr basically pulled a Sessions, and recused himself. It reminds me of Trump's reaction to finding out about the special counsel investigation.
On May 17, 2017 then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions told Trump about the special counsel investigation.
“When Sessions told Trump that a Special Counsel had been appointed, the President slumped back in his chair and said, ‘Oh my God. This is terrible. This is the end of my presidency. I am according to the report, which based its retelling of this conversation on notes taken by Jody Hunt, Sessions’ chief of staff at the time.

Trump then became angry, according to the report, and “lambasted” Sessions for his decision to recuse himself from the investigation.

“How could you let this happen Jeff?” the president said, according to the report.

Trump told Sessions that the Attorney General was his “most important appointment” and said Sessions had let him down. Sessions told investigators Trump told him “you were supposed to protect me.”😂😄

Trump knew that the AG was going to be his most important appointment because of the crimes he had already committed, and because of the crimes he knew he was going to commit after he was sworn in.

Not everyone can be a puppet ALL the time...

Barr: Look where Trump's former fixer is!

[ddrose]

Barr is going to need a lawyer, before this is all over.

Things are getting serious and folks are slowly stepping away.

[KesselRunner]

It never gets old to play "What If Obama Had..."

[soupsgord]

Basically this is what comes of not setting a standard or qualification for the post of president of the USA.

[rosenbaum]

Remember how Trump said he was the "Law and order" president? 😂😂😂

[BavonWW]

"I `never knew William Barr, he was something to do with the DOJ, ask them."
Oh, Bill Barr? Sure, he played at a few charity matches at Mar-a-Lago. He wasn't a great player, I'm told."

[bamagirl]

I’m surprised fred flintstone didn’t do it😅😂🤣🤣😂😅.
