TIPPING THE SCALES

The purpose of appointing a Special Counsel is to assign a fair and impartial arbiter free of partisan politics to investigate an important matter.  Then why on earth do you hand the Counsel’s report over to a political appointee for final adjudication?

Robert Mueller, a trusted impartial arbiter, made no finding on the subject of obstruction of justice.  Then William Barr, by his own words a partisan political appointee, rather than forwarding Mueller’s findings to congress for adjudication as precedent dictates, decides for himself that no obstruction exists. Barr’s summary of the matter poses more questions than it answers.

Of all the lawyers in the world, Trump picked the one to serve as his Attorney General who wrote a 19 page dissertation on the illegalities of the Mueller investigation.

Now we know why.

That sound you here is the sound of the scales of justice groaning under the weight of Barr’s ham-fisted decision.
