Attorney General William Barr Is Set To Take The Fall For Donald Trump’s Coronavirus Policy, Report Says – By Tyler MacDonald (Inquisitr) / April 20 2020
In a Monday report from The Daily Beast, David R. Lurie claims that Attorney General William Barr appears set to spearhead Donald Trump‘s battle against the coronavirus lockdown. As noted by Raw Story, the report suggests that if things do sour, Barr is set to take the fall for any failures.
According to Lurie, Trump and Barr are pushing for states to reopen their economies as soon as possible, which will inevitably lead to a “massive number of needless deaths.” Lurie claims that Barr will likely follow Trump’s lead and use the help of the conservative judges that Trump has installed over the past three years. The New York City attorney says that these judges are likely to “enthusiastically comply” with a plan to wage war against the emergency health measures deployed at the state level.
Lurie claims that Trump and Barr are hoping that a clash between the courts and state health professionals will undermine state governors’ authority. In particular, Lurie believes the pair are hoping to subvert Democratic leaders in swing states that have enjoyed a significant amount of public support for their handling of the pandemic.
According to Lurie, Barr’s role in this purported plan is not surprising given his work within the Department of Justice (DOJ). Lurie claims that the Attorney General has been working to undermine the DOJ during his time at the helm. He also points to Barr’s role in undermining the intelligence community to help Trump escape repercussions for his actions documented by Robert Mueller‘s Russia investigation as well as in the whistleblower complaint that ultimately led to his impeachment.
