Barr is ticked off that his beloved DOJ embarassed themselves, but he also doesn’t want to hurt them. He’s quietly telling them to stop this sort of thing, but will protect them from consequences of their little errors in judgement.
His track record agrees with you: Lon Horiuchi.
Barr and his friend “Bob” Mueller have been besties for 30 years. Barr HAS TO be aware of ALL the many underhanded crap Mueller, et al have done over the years, ruining innocent people’s lives in the name of perverted, besmirched “justice”. What has he done, or what is he doing about it? I fear he’s devising ways to finesse the whole thing and give them all a pass. Hide and watch! I pray that I’m wrong and Barr pours out the wrath of God on them all.
