Jay and Elie discuss the colossal mess Bill Barr made in undermining the justice system. Barr, the 77th and 85th United States attorney general under George H. W. Bush and Donald Trump, allowed politics to play a role in individual prosecutions. According to Elie, Barr was a political animal first (which is why he crossed so many lines) and viewed himself as Trump’s personal lawyer— using the DOJ to go after Trump’s political enemies (or perceived political enemies), protecting Trump’s political cronies, etc.
Later in the show, Jay and Elie discuss Barr’s confirmation process, and where the Justice Department is now. According to Elie, there was a palpable sigh of relief with Bill Barr left office, and the Trump administration moved on. Elie and Jay then pivot to Merrick Garland, and his first few months as the 86th United States attorney general.
