    You forgot to mention that Barr works for Putin.

          He is supposed to be working for the american people but he has now made it quite obvious that he is working for Trump, so he might as well be said to be working for Putin.

                Jim, did you ever notice that our National Anthem has a phrase in it "the rockets' red glare"? Communism! Putin! We were doomed from the start!

                  This is a story from The NYTimes (and The Washington Post) which are both credible news outlets.
                  You might try actually reading the story.

                          • The NY Times and Washington Post are both reputable media outlets with a long history of reliable reporting. They stand by their story. We will no doubt get it "fleshed out" in due course, as we did re the Washington Post's "Deep Throat", which brought down the Nixon government.

                            Right... "credible".

                              New York Times, Washington Post
                              These media sources have a slight to moderate liberal bias. They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes) to favor liberal causes. These sources are generally trustworthy for information, but may require further investigation.

                              Which is to say that the actual information is (often) accurate, but the paper acts positively to influence opinion based on that information. What they print needs to be read with care. That need is demonstrated by headlines which conflict with or misrepresent the facts of the story. They are also selective with regard to coverage: don't expect any positive stories to be printed unless those stories reflect their political aims or ideology. Don't expect them to print stories where the facts conflict with their agenda.

                              A questionable source exhibits one or more of the following: extreme bias, consistent promotion of propaganda/conspiracies, poor or no sourcing to credible information, a complete lack of transparency and/or is fake news. Fake News is the deliberate attempt to publish hoaxes and/or disinformation for the purpose of profit or influence (Learn More).

                              These media sources are moderately to strongly biased toward liberal causes through story selection and/or political affiliation.

Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy.

                                Wrt the New York Times this might be a bit outdated. They have thrown all pretenses into the winds during the 2016 election and their hiring of a blatantly unabashed racist for an editorial position last year was the icing on the cake.

                                As for the "loaded words" I really noticed that while looking for stories concerning the migrant caravans coming from Central America refusing amnesty in Mexico (thus putting the lie to the claim that they were just fleeing persecution and violence). For instance, both papers likened Mexico's offer as a "scheme."
