First let me state that if one is to believe Barr's subjective view of the SUPREME PRESIDENCY.......that same one voter should also be concerned that ANY future president now has the same foundation to exert powers formerly restricted to the oval office...........Anyone reading the Constitution's Article I should be really concerned of Barr's wish for a more despotic presidential set of powers.
But, let us go back and see what Barr wrote in his June 2018 letter AUDITIONING to Trump (and Rosenstein) for the job of AG .....or, as we now must assume......the job of Trump's highest defense attorney........Barr wrote:
..........a president does NOT act "corruptly" simply by action on--------even terminating------a matter that relates to HIS own conduct......"
Any objective review of the above statement should tell anyone that Barr is labeling the president as judge and jury and exculpator of his OWN misconduct..........aka a DESPOT.....
Provide a link to support what your own deliberations are based on, why don't you? I am surprised this thread is still open.
On the other hand, the "above statement", marred by mindlessly excessive punctuation, seems to be genuine "Nat" produce.
Finally, a despot - make that DESPOT - who can be removed from office by way of impeachment and conviction isn't much of a despot, don't you think?
