Where in the World is Billy Barr?

It appears the United States Attorney General is MIA. He
was last seen hiding out in Rome espousing President Trump's
handling of the Ukrainian congratulatory phone call to Ukraine's
president-elect. A phone call, Trump said was "beautiful".  He is
also gathering information from countries he feels have the
inside dope on Hunter Biden's activities while he was on the
board of the Ukraine natural gas producing company, Burisma.
And while he is at it there, he is looking at whether the Ukraine
was also involved with the server that processed Hillary Clinton's
missing emails.  Both of the these incidents have been debunked
by the United States intelligence agencies.  The Democrats have
accused Barr of using the Justice Department as Trump's personal
law firm.  This would not be the first time Barr would have
interfered on behalf of a president.

Billy Barr is a lifelong proponent of the 'unitary executive theory'
that allows for unfettered presidential authority.  Much of Barr's
thinking has been influenced by his strong religious convictions,
he is a staunch Roman Catholic.  He believes that Roe v Wade
was incorrectly decided, and in 1992 he wrote a report in
favor of increased incarceration.  However, upon independent
examination, the data Barr used to support his conclusions
did not corroborate his theory that mass incarceration reduced
the crime rate anywhere.

In 1990, Barr was appointed Deputy Attorney General by then
president George H. W. Bush.  Bush was so impressed with Barr's
work that he nominated him to be his Attorney General in 1991.
Barr's squeaky-clean record allowed Barr to be confirmed by the
Senate in two days.

In 1992, an Independent counsel was formed to investigate the
Iran-Contra Affair, it was headed by Lawrence Walsh.  Walsh had
found documents from Casper Weinberger's office of evidence of
a conspiracy among the highest officials in the
Reagan administration, to lie to both Congress and the American
people.  The cover-up was the sale of arms to Iran for their help in
freeing the hostages taken by Hezbollah and being held in Lebanon.
Weinberger was to stand trial and contradict President Bush's
assertion that he had no knowledge of the exchange of arms for
hostages.  It was apparent that Bush would be called to testify in
the court case also.  Billy Barr went into action, He convinced
Bush to pardon Weinberger and five others from the Reagan
administration who were already found guilty, only day before the
end of Bush's term of office.  Thus saving the reputation of the Bush
presidency.  Lawrence Walsh complained, insinuating that Bush and
Barr had covered-up the Iran-Contra Affair.

That wasn't the end, Barr also refused to appoint another Independent
Counsel to investigate 'Iraq-gate'.  Iraq-gate is not as well-known as the
Iran-Contra Affair but it was much more insidious.  For those not as
familiar with what went on, I will try to give you a thumbnail sketch.

During the Reagan/Bush administrations, and while Bill Clinton was
governor of Arkansas, in a small town in Arkansas called Mena, there
was an operation that was working out of the Mena airport that involved
drugs, guns, and billions of dollars under the radar, but with the knowledge
and consent of the CIA.  Drugs were smuggled into the United States,
weapons were smuggled out, and money was laundered thru the banks
in Mena and Atlanta Georgia.

The money and drugs went to support Saddam Hussain in Iraq, yup, that
Saddam Hussain.  Money from the United States, supposedly for agricultural
support, went instead to buy weapons back from the United States.  It
was estimated that more than $5 billion in aid and also weaponry, and
military intelligence, and special ops went to support Hussain's war
against Iran, which by now was in control of the Ayatollah.  All of
which was against the will of the Congress.  The money came from
the drug operation in Mena.  All in all, over a thousand kilos of heroin
was smuggled into our country and over $5 billion of money was laundered
prior to being sent to Iraq.  Everyone involved with the operation in Mena
is now dead, in fact, more than 26 deaths were attributed to it, some under
suspicious circumstances, some were outright hits.  All covered-up by one
Billy Barr, in defense of presidents Reagan and Bush.  His argument;
'a president has complete authority to start or stop a law enforcement
proceeding'.

So why is Billy Barr hiding out in Rome?  Has he finally found a president
he cannot support?  Or is it that this president has implicated him in his
tawdry business dealings?  Squeaky-clean Billy may have finally got
his hands so dirty even he cannot live with himself?

I'm just sayin'.
