since the moment he took office, though, [Attorney General William "Low"] Barr’s words and actions have

an increasingly lawless president — will wreak lasting damage.
"The
American people deserve an attorney general who serves their interests,
leads the Justice Department with integrity and can be entrusted to
pursue the facts and the law, even — and especially — when they are
politically inconvenient and inconsistent with the personal interests of
the president who appointed him. William Barr has proved he is
incapable of serving as such an attorney general. He is unfit to lead
the Justice Department." -- Former Attorney General Eric Holder, Jr., in today's Washington Post. That much has been clear for some time. Now the question is what to do about it.
