It is the responsibility of the AG to advise the president about what isn’t acceptable, and to resign if directed to behave inappropriately.


Indeed. The problem occurs when the two are cahoots wrt interpreting as acceptable that which is unacceptable. With these two the synergy is palpable.


You seem to suggest that respecting the executive authority of the president is somehow contrary to the role of the AG. That, of course, is false.


Of course that is false.

It's not the role of the AG with which I have issue, nor that of the president. My problem is with the incumbents. They are outside their lanes and flying off hand in hand.


It is a moot point without some evidence of a time where the Executive caused the AG to behave inappropriately.


I find it obvious that this AG is enabling the authoritarian impulses of this president. Following a traditional first choice, Trump ended up with a soulmate.

When you have a totally corrupt AG, in it for his own reasons, Trump doesn't have to order him to do anything. He just has to ask Barr or suggest to Barr. ' Can you do me a favor though?'
