Reading reports about Attorney General William Barr today, it is a wonder he cruised through the confirmation process. Because the man you read about in the media today is not the level-headed, experienced professional who Democrats hoped would check President Trump. Instead, Barr is a fascist, according to several media outlets — a politically motivated hit man who does Trump’s bidding.

Neither allegation is true. But the Left can’t seem to stop lying about Barr. Take, for example, an event Barr attended on Wednesday night. Barr gave a speech about power, politics, the rule of law, and how the Justice Department juggles all three. At one point, he talked about the constitutional authority given to him by the executive, otherwise known as the president, and he questioned why many in the federal government (including members of his own department!) try to undermine it.
