so Trump has nominated William Barr to be AG.
Barr served as AG Under Bush senior in 1991-92, but is still only 68.
On the surface, it looks like a brillant play:
1. it undercuts the attacks against Whitaker which are now academic;
2. Barr has already been confirmed by the Senate as AG, so it is hard to see what Democrats could use this time to say he is unqualified;
3. Barr served as AG under Bush senior who everyone in Washington just finished praising as a great President, so again hard to see what Democrats could use this time to say he is unqualified;
