William Safire, if memory serves me well, was a conservative columnist with the New York Times. Bill Safire retired while "W" was in office. But, his replacement is still there today, namely the highly acclaimed columnist, David Brooks. I think most folks consider Brooks to be a conservative columnist.
No one can take away the patriotic luster of George H. W. Bush. The man was an American hero. But, of course, there would be fallout from Reagan's Iran-Contra days that would land at the desk of the Vice President. So, it was Barr that covered all that up.
I don't recall hearing anything about H.W.'s involvement with Iran-Contra or something called "Iraqgate?" If this is Barr's claim to fame than he is a cover-up expert and that is the reason he is in the AG chair right now.
Back in 1992, (click here) the last time Bill Barr was U.S. attorney general, iconic New York Times writer William Safire referred to him as “Coverup-General Barr” because of his role in burying evidence of then-President George H.W. Bush’s involvement in “Iraqgate” and “Iron-Contra.”

General Barr has struck again—this time, in similar fashion, burying Mueller’s report and cherry-picking fragments of sentences from it to justify Trump’s behavior. In his letter, he notes that Robert Mueller “leaves it to the attorney general to decide whether the conduct described in the report constitutes a crime.”...
Sorry to hear Michael Avenatti has been charged with extortion of a major USA company, "Nike." Nike is multinational and among the top Wall Street earning companies. Why did Avenatti think he could get away with it? I hope he has a good defense.
What bothers me about such indictments is that Avenatti is a Trump foe. That should concern everyone to make sure the facts are correct and the trial or other proceedings are appropriate.
