The FBI is a bit of mess

This BEYOND the Mueller probe.
 
Barr seems like a solid appointee that can clean it up a bit.
That the FBI investigates the suspicious activity of the politicians you like does not make it a mess.

Its not a big secret.  You should pick and choose a bit more wisely which statements to rebut

He can aid in the lying, denying, and obfuscating.

I am sure that makes him a winner in your eyes.

"US federal courts will run out of operating money on Friday, January 25, according to a statement from their administrative office. Court offices had been able to stay operational by halting some services, suspending hirings and more. They have twice extended the date at which they’ll run out of money after previously setting January 11 and January 18. Now, the courts say that after January 18, they will have to furlough some employees and declare others essential under the Anti-Deficiency Act, which is a federal law that prohibits the government from spending money that isn’t appropriated by Congress. Criminal cases are expected to continue despite a lapse in funds, but many federal courts have already begun delaying civil cases involving the federal government. It’s not clear if possible furloughs would affect any other court operations or deadlines."

Barr engineered the Iran Contra pardons and still thinks the era of mass incarceration kicked off under his watch was a good thing.

"America’s share of the foreign born ranks 34th among 50 wealthy countries with a per capita gross domestic product of over $20,000. The United States netted five new immigrants — authorized and unauthorized — per 1,000 people from 2015 to 2017, United Nations figures show. Compare that to the figures in two other English-speaking liberal democracies: Canada let in eight (and just announced that it’s going to admit over a million new immigrants over three years), and Australia 14. All in all, the foreign-born are now over 20 percent of Canada’s population and 28.2 percent of Australia’s (more than double America’s figure)."

And his attitude about the separation of church and state is puritanical as is his conviction that secularism is the cause of moral decay in this country.

Hard to see him as a zealous defender of the civil rights of those the Christian faith look down upon, one way or another.

Trump’s best bet for getting out of this mess without looking totally ridiculous is to let McConnell reopen the government in return for Trump promising he won’t bust Mitch’s ass on Twitter and Fox for selling out.

Except McConnell isn’t stupid enough to trust Trump.

Because punishing the residents of a country for decisions by government and a few of its citizens is totally appropriate.

So, we should do the same to almost every nation on the planet by your reasoning.

You are pathetic.
