I can't help that you're uneducated on his history. But in case you didn't know, he was the AG under George HW Bush, worked at the CIA, and worked in the Reagan administration.. He has made some pretty questionable decisions and has a checkered past (Iran-Contra, Haiti, etc.)

There's also the fact that he wrote that famous Op-Ed regarding Trump's authority to fire Comey. Sure, you could argue that he's a really strong proponent of the Executive but that doesn't really pass the smell test.

When its easily accessible information on a current topic asking for that information shows youre expecting to have your hand held and therefore arent worth talking to.

Uneducated on a random bureaucrat, lol. So his unfairness started when he was appointed by Trump? Gotcha now it's coming together, same old TDS.

I mean, he's the AG....you should know his name just like Jeff Sessions, Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, John Ashcroft, Alberto Gonzalez, Janet Reno, etc. I'm probably missing a couple from my lifetime, but they are the chief law enforcement officer of this country...

And no, I specifically said stuff that happened in the 80s/90s. How is that TDS?

I do know his name, that doesn't mean once he becomes AG that i'm going to go deep dive research into everything about him. Not sure what sensible adult would do that, unless they have a lot of free time.

Time is finite, there's hundreds of things more important in my life rather than researching Barr. But since it came up now i looked at his Wiki. So what exactly there in your opinion shows his lack of integrity?

For example, the draft report also concludes that the F.B.I. had enough evidence to meet the legal standard for opening the investigation, though Mr. Horowitz emphasized that the bar is low, the people said.

The report is also said to conclude that Joseph Mifsud, a Russia-linked professor who told a Trump campaign official that Russia had damaging information on Mrs. Clinton in the form of hacked Democratic emails — a key fact used to open the investigation — was not an F.B.I. informant. That undercuts an assertion of conservative critics of the inquiry.

None of the evidence used to open the investigation came from the C.I.A. or from a notorious dossier of claims about Trump-Russia ties compiled by Christopher Steele, a former British intelligence agent whose research was funded by Democrats, the report concludes, according to the people briefed on it.

The article talks about the FBI lawyer who forged a document, and he apparently had anti-Trump texts as well. Also apparently an FBI official in New York committed some wrongdoing.

We'll see if the NYT reporting is accurate, but this is about what I expected. Relatively minor wrongdoing that probably happens on every major comprehensive investigation.

The report isn't out yet, and even the NYT article said that the report isn't even complete yet. This entire article is typical MSM bullshyt, as usual.
It employs the Dems normal: "said those familiar with the situation".

We also have Durham's investigation which has been upgraded to a criminal investigation, btw, to follow shortly after.

WASHINGTON — The Justice Department’s inspector general found no evidence that the F.B.I. attempted to place undercover agents or informants inside Donald J. Trump’s campaign in 2016 as agents investigated whether his associates conspired with Russia's election interference operation, people familiar with a draft of the inspector general’s report said.

Kind of amusing that at the end of this, both sides are left unsatisfied.
