Bully

I just want to suggest you read this Washington Post article about Attorney General Barr having been a sadistic, and apparently anti-Semitic bully in middle school:


"Back in 1991, during Barr’s confirmation to be George H.W. Bush’s attorney general, lawyer Jimmy Lohman, who overlapped with Barr at New York’s Horace Mann School and later Columbia University, wrote a piece for the little-known Florida Flambeau newspaper about Barr being “my very own high-school tormentor” — a “classic bully” and “power abuser” in the 1960s who “put the crunch on me every chance [he] got.”

And his behavior continued:

"Historian Paul Cronin, in Politico this week, says Barr was part of the “Majority Coalition” at Columbia that fought antiwar demonstrators. Barr had told the New York Times Magazine he was part of a “fistfight” in which “over a dozen people went to the hospital.”

That is the kind of person that Republicans now see fit to place in charge of our nation's justice system.  And don't even pretend that he was appointed and approved by the Senate in spite of this vicious behavior; he is there because they can count on it.
