Over at Lawfare, Robert S. Litt, former associate attorney general (under Clinton) and former general counsel for the Director of National Intelligence (under Obama), makes short work of Attorney General William Barr’s thimble and pea sleight of hand that converted Michael Flynn’s arrant lies into airy nothingness on the grounds that they could not be…

Brave Bill Barr: Speaking truth to power, or lying his ass off? We report, you decide
That should be “lying his big fat ass off,” but, well, it’s more euphonious without the adjective, so we’ll go with the short version, even though throwing around ad hominem sneers n’ snickers at public figures is kind of a tradition here at Literature R Us, particularly when it comes to fat, aging, wrinkled, rancid,…
Just because I don’t loudly s*ck the president’s c*ck every day doesn’t make me a traitor, loudly exclaims an aggrieved Ramesh Ponnuru
My apologies to those who, like me, prefer their vulgarly sexual terms of abuse unasterisked and unexpurgated, but you never know whose algorithm you’re going to trigger these days.

It doesn’t matter that William Barr is lying, because we know he’s lying, David French explains
David French has the unenviable job of being the voice of reason over at the National Review, which means that he has to find a “middle ground” between the True Trumpers of the pack and, well, the truth, which frequently means explaining that grunting like a hog and wallowing in one’s own filth isn’t as…
Yo, Bill Barr! God is the searcher of all hearts, not you!
A couple of months ago I made fun of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas for presuming to question the motives of six of his brethren for being so temarious as to vote the “wrong” way in a case involving abortion issues: So what explains the Court’s refusal to do its job here? I suspect it…
