Opinions P.M.: The Barr hearing was much ado about nothing

Opinions P.M.
The Barr hearing was much ado about nothing
The entire episode hurts Robert Mueller's reputation more than it does William Barr's.
Why we believed William Barr
Washington hangs on to an illusion.
 
Why didn't Barr order Mueller to make the call on obstruction?
The whole point of having a special counsel is to take prosecution decisions out of the hands of political appointees like Barr.
 
Do two newcomers into the Democratic primary matter?
What can two white moderates do for the Democrats?
 
William Barr has now shown his hand and so much more
The full mountebank.

The Plum Line
Trump is already set to use the government to destroy the Democratic nominee
We've never seen the likes of what is to come. Justice Department investigations are just the beginning.
 
Most Americans think Trump is a crook
A majority think their president is a criminal.
 
Democrats fear Barr
The truth is out there, and the attorney general is threatening to reveal it.
 
Democrats have many avenues of attack. Why hold back?
Don't be limited to one approach in the face of Trump's multifaceted wrongdoing.

The Plum Line
William Barr is helping to cover up Trump's biggest crime of all
The Russia scandal, and the attempted coverup, made simple.
 
Barr doesn't see anything wrong with Trump's actions involving Don McGahn
Barr is an attorney general the mob would love.
 
Maryland Democrats compromised on their speaker for the good of the party
Allowing the Republicans to choose the Democratic speaker would have been a disaster.
