QOTD: Adam Schiff

Talk about a backhanded compliment:
“I think Bill Barr has all the duplicity of Rudy Giuliani without all the good looks and general likability of Rudy Guliani.”
Yikes.
He went on to say, “the most dangerous thing, I think, that Bill Barr has done is basically say that a president under investigation can make the investigation go away if he thinks its unfair which, by the way, means the other 14 investigations firmed up through other offices he can also make go away.”
That’s the Unitary Executive theory which Barr believes he can ram through with this miscreant in charge who is willing to test every limit and has no clue about what it all means. Republican officials have shown that they think they can just say “I know you are but what am ” in the future and will suffer no repercussions under Democratic majorities and administrations.
