Yesterday I wrote about the legal jeopardy Trump faces posting a blog in the morning:

Today there are new stories, like this one about the Stormy Daniels hush money case, being published and reported about on TV,another, one about the NYC grand jury probe coming closer to Trump, and yet another one about his replacing one of his lawyers again.
This morning one of my favorite columnists, Heather Digby Parton, wrote the article about Bill Barr shown above for Salon.
Durham investigation goes bust: Bill Barr blew up mission to expose the deep state — to save Trump
The Durham investigation was Bill Barr's personal project and it turns out that it was a monstrous abuse of power
This was the lead story on Salon:
My take on the revelations coming out about what Barr did, and especially didn't do (which of course is a form of doing - deliberate inaction is an action) is that while we wait and anticipate the legal downfall of Donald Trump the most powerful enabler of the former president, Bill Barr, deserves to get his just rewards.
I like the word "just" in this context because in these instances it relates directly to legal justice.
People can die, or go stark raving mad and end up in the chronic ward of a psychiatric hospital not knowing which way is up, but true justice means that they go through the actual justice system.
If you believe in an all powerful deity who metes out justice, "God" if you're one of the 81% of American believers, "Divine" intervention isn't sufficient.
People like Trump and Barr should be punished by the same justice system that determined the fate of everyone from Al Capone to Joe Blow who robbed a bodega.
For the present I'd like to see Bill Barr take Donald Trump's place in the illustration I used for yesterday's blog:
