If Trump can step on anything the crim justice system does with a pardon, how is he not already in control of the system?
I see a reflexive immature man ranting on Twitter. I see Barr’s fingers all over this, not Trump’s. This is Barr’s message to those he sees unaligned with how he wants to do things.
This “Trump is a puppet master” theme is a bit rich. He hasn’t the bandwidth upstairs. Barr is the Dick Cheney here.
