Well, Barr did work as AG for that “Great Man of Principle” George H.W. Bush. So what if Barr bragged in speeches about urging Bush to pardon not just Caspar Weinberger, but all of Bush’s Iran Contra co-conspirators? Who cares if Bush lied for years, claiming he was out of the loop on Iran Contra? Who cares if Iran Contra was unconstitutional and illegal? Who cares if Bush withheld his diary of all those meetings - he said he wasn’t in those meetings anyway, right? Who care if the Independent Counsel Lawrence Walsh was planning to make Bush’s diary public at Caspar Weinberger’s trial? Or that Walsh was outraged by the pardons and accused Bush of “completing the coverup”? We all know that Poppy was an honorable man so Barr must be, too, amirite?
