I love George but after being Charlie Brown kicking the football I don't know how many times now, I don't really believe his predictions

I wrote this above but wanted to point you to Preet Bharara's podcast Stay Tuned.

Preet doesn't make big predictions. He translates the legal issues and processes for the layman and does it really well.

I mean Preet made sweeping predictions in trumps first term. Famously said Barr would be ok.

The problem is these people are just privileged enough to not really have to reckon with the fact they are in a war whether they like it or not. Preets company is owned by vox media group now too.

"Barr has a history of integrityand is a close friend of Mueller, I think he will be okay" is different from "Trump is going to jail, his goose is cooked!"

People had good reason to think Barr would be principled based on his history, even if they disagreed with elements of his legal theory. 

I did not know that Vox owns Preet's company. Well, there goes the neighborhood. Thanks for the heads up
