Speculation mounted this week about a possible rift between President Trump and Attorney General Bill Barr arising out the Roger Stone sentencing kerfuffle. While Barr’s DOJ spokeswoman Kerri Kupec threw cold water on rumors that Barr’s resignation was imminent, it’s always wise to have a replacement in mind, just in case things don’t work out. We’ve got a perfect candidate.

Congressman Louie Gohmert of Texas would be an ideal replacement for Attorney General Barr, if a parting of the ways between Barr and Trump is on the horizon.

The ruling classes of both parties would object to an AG Gohmert—he’s too principled and fearless. McConnell et.al.’s first instinct might be to treat a Gohmert AG nomination the same way they treated the nomination of John Ratcliffe as Director of National Intelligence—i.e. scuttle it in committee. But the American people seem on the verge of delivering a message of righteous anger to McConnell and Schumer and all the rest that the ruling class protection racket is over. Politicians naturally fear the anger of the people, and they should. AG Gohmert could happen, and America would be very well-served.

Let’s take a deeper look.

Bill Barr is a good man; a seemingly high integrity, quality lawyer. He certainly acts the part of a tough, unintimidated straight shooter. He has given speeches at Notre Dame and at the Federalist Society that demonstrate he has a deep grasp of both America’s historic place in human history and many of the practical implications of its present predicament of starkly polarized politics.

But it’s his openly acknowledged love for the ‘institution’ of the Department of Justice—and concern that it appears to be his view that his job is to protect that institution more than it is to protect America and the rule of law—that sadly generates doubts about whether he is up to the monumental task of his office at this time in American history.
