William Barr, heavy-jowled and thin-skinned, like his dictator, tells the country, "Don't believe what Mueller writes, believe what I tell you."

And then he lies, or prevaricates, or selects phrases, or invents what he wants to believe. 

"There was no collusion," Barr says. 

Not for lack of trying, Mueller explains.
 
"There was no obstruction, no indictments," Barr says. 

We would have exonerated Trump if we could, Mueller explains. We cannot. 

"Total exoneration," the dictator-in-chief crows.

We won't indict a sitting president, Mueller explains. After he leaves office, who knows? 

Keep your lawyers, TrumPutin. Except Rudy, he doesn't help you.

Barr wants to save his dictator. So he does what not even Jeff Sessions would not do. The administration that diminishes those who serve it. Mutual self-destruction as policy. MAGA?
