BUSINESS MAVERICK: OP-ED: The decline and fall of US Attorney-General William Barr By Kent Harrington

that the IG’s report will include stunning revelations of abuses of a system that has gone “off the rails”.

In his warning about an American “Praetorian Guard,” Barr condemned those who “identify the national interest with their own political preferences and… feel that anyone who has a different opinion, you know, is somehow an enemy of the state.

Time will tell whether Barr’s investigation of the investigators turns up anything of substance. His portentous hints of a deep-state conspiracy have left Trump stalwarts giddily awaiting the release of the IG report. In any event, congressional Republicans have now taken to maligning the career military officers and diplomats who have come before them in the impeachment hearings. At this point, they aren’t likely to change their tune. The question is whether Barr will change his.

As for how Barr may be viewed in the fullness of time, there are historical parallels. The Soviet prosecutor Andrei Vyshinsky played a prominent role in the Nuremberg trials, held high academic posts, and became one of his country’s top diplomats. But before that, he was the chief prosecutor in Stalin’s murderous show trials.
