What were they holding over Trump that made him afraid to fire Barr and Wray?

Trump needs to be asked that direct question. Because if he says there was nothing like that, then he has to explain how he did not see the obvious that EVERYONE else saw.

The root of all government evil.

So these villains, who call themselves governments, well understand that their power rests primarily upon money. With money they can hire soldiers, and with soldiers extort money. And, when their authority is denied, the first use they always make of money, is to hire soldiers to kill or subdue all who refuse them more money.

For this reason, whoever desires liberty, should understand these vital facts, viz.: 1. That every man who puts money into the hands of a “government” (so called), puts into its hands a sword which will be used against himself, to extort more money from him, and also to keep him in subjection to its arbitrary will. 2. That those who will take his money, without his consent, in the first place, will use it for his further robbery and enslavement, if he presumes to resist their demands in the future.

I recently was introduced to him by some anarchy4all chick who burned a bike mikes husband shirt when she realized she'd been a useful idiot her entire life.

And while I can appreciate her coming of age, it's quotes like these that make me ask the low hanging questions...like what about interstate highways? No government'ers never have an answer to the nice things that come along with the devil-known-as-big-brother

I care about liberty more than roads. The market will find a way to make roads work. There is clearly a demand.

How will the government pay for a domestic panopticon and gun control without theft?

They have the power to fabricate charges and the will to do so. Your question is irrelevant.

They have the power to kill you in broad daylight and the control to make sure nobody noteworthy talks about it.

His appointments need to be approved by the Senate. The Senate is swamp. Senators serve six year terms and many states have no method to recall Senators.
