The result delay, no action, leaving a political inference to be drawn contrary to the interests of Attorney General Barr's own party, although perhaps perfectly in line with the interests of Barr's faction within that party. In public statements.
In a Democrat administration when a political objective is espied, a demand letter is arranged and the Attorney General moves on warp speed to pervert the First Amendment, intimidate American mothers and flings the full force of the Department of Justice and its attendant criminal enforcement bureaucracies against the Bill of Rights. In doing so he follows a repeated pattern of the Democrat party of waging lawfare, criminalizing political disputes, which we saw repeated in the constitutional atrocities committed by the Democrat Attorney General Garland in the wake of the January 6 protest. Indisputably done for rank political partisan purpose at the cost of the Constitution and the rights of fellow Americans.
Barr has made it clear that he wanted to protect the integrity of the Department of Justice after the Russia hoax scandal.
No doubt Bob Barr will claim that he was acting to protect the rule of law by declining to follow the instructions of his superior, declining even to confide his intentions with his superior, by delaying the matter until the political desired effect could take place. He is not defending the rule of law, he is not defending the Constitution as he might protest, nor the rule of law but the institutional reputation of his office. Most likely, he was doing that and protecting his faction of his party too.
In the private sector we call this regulatory capture. It is one thing to protect the administration of justice from rank politics and quite another to isolate it from the political system and the will of the people expressed by their constitutionally representative officer, The President of The United States.
The deep state has captured the agency most directly concerned to protect our Constitution and to protect us.
