It’s safe to assume that Attorney General William Barr has a stressful job.
Barr, in accepting his role of President Donald Trump’s AG, put himself at the eye of a political storm, at a time when Democrats are itching at every opportunity to accuse the entire administration of crimes.
That’s not even mentioning the entire Robert Mueller treasure hunt the Democrats conducted…
So when Barr decided to rent out the Trump Hotel in Washington D.C. to throw a simple party, rest assured liberals went absolutely bonkers about it. Even elected politicians of Congress threw a hissy fit without knowing all of the facts.
Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif, who ran the most embarrassing presidential candidacy of all-time, suggested that Barr be impeached for this.
“Impeach him,” he wrote on Twitter. “Impeach every lawless Trump official. They don’t care and never will until held accountable. This is a smash & grab presidency. We are not helpless: tell every Member of Congress.”
Swalwell should know better; poor judgment like that is one of the many reasons he endlessly polled at zero percent.
Former California Senator Barbara Boxer assumed that this “annually” thrown party was an attempt to suck up to Trump.
Bill Barr . . . still sucking up In an unethical way. https://t.co/KqqhGJmjYo

But the so-called fun wasn’t limited to the cronies on Capitol Hill. Liberal Americans just had to join in to assume the worst.
“they’re not even trying to hide their corruption anymore,” one Twitter user wrote.

But the outrage proved it was nothing more than blind fury — what they failed to see was, the Justice Department not only acknowledged that Barr used his own pocket money to pay for the party, but an official specifically reviewed the matter and determined no wrongdoing.
“Career ethics officials were consulted, and they determined that ethics rules did not prohibit him from hosting his annual party at the Trump hotel,” said the official.
It’s not some political event for policy bigwigs.
Nor is it a pledge of loyalty to the president.
It’s a party.
And Democrats and liberals everywhere can’t stand it.
