Just watched Feinstein speak to the press about the confirmation of Barr for AG. And she seemed almost giddy believing he will be confirmed. This confirmation hearing is completely different than any of the other Trump nominees. This Barr dude is a swamp rat, we already know that, but something else is off. Thoughts? Opinions?

They want to get rid of Matt Whitaker. He scares the bejeezus out of'em. He's a take-no-prisoners kind of guy who doesn't need to make nice with corporations or politicians to secure some after-retirement gig. Even in this supposedly even-handed video on him from CBS you can hear it https://www.cbsnews.com/news/who-is-matthew-whitaker-the-new-acting-attorney-general/

I think this has a lot to do with it. They're desperate to get rid of Whitaker. I still think Barr is a smokescreen, I don't think he was supposed to get confirmed. I think it was a tactic to prolong Whitaker's tenure
