Another report indicated that Barr "silently assented" to what Mueller was proposing. Which seems to color this a little differently.
I believe Trump and his allies are taking every possible step to avoid "obstruction of justice" charges. "Hey, they want to indict my kids? I won't stop them. They have that capability. I'm patient. They will get what's coming to them."
Great true tagline btw.
We always knew trumps Achilles heel was his kids. The deep state only likes people they can own and they can own just about everyone. They may have him by the seed of his balls. If this is true. He thought he could keep his kids safe. He underestimated the oligarchy.
