To the editor:
When the Barr summary came out, I found the coverage of it stomach-turning, with “no collusion, no obstruction” shouted from the rooftops of every media outlet.
Trump is a liar who attacked and denigrated his last attorney general specifically because he did not work to undermine the Mueller investigation. Barr got his job by sending Trump a poorly reasoned legal opinion saying why he thought Mueller’s obstruction of justice probe was illegitimate.
If we’ve learned nothing else in the past two-plus years, it’s that the most basic requirement of working for Trump is lying for Trump. Why on Earth do the media still take anything that comes out of this administration seriously?
I’ve dealt with pathological liars before. You should assume they’re lying unless and until they prove otherwise.
