AG Barr’s appointment of John Danforth as special counsel—which violates DOJ’s own regulations—erodes the little credibility Trump’s DOJ has left.
Let’s be clear about what this is: Barr has again used the powers of his office to settle scores for Trump.

Nadler needs to read the statute...there are alternatives and it’s up to the AG to make the determination.
600.02 Alternatives available to the Attorney General.
(c) Conclude that under the circumstances of the matter, the public interest would not be served by removing the investigation from the normal processes of the Department, and that the appropriate component of the Department should handle the matter. If the Attorney General reaches this conclusion, he or she may direct that appropriate steps be taken to mitigate any conflicts of interest, such as recusal of particular officials.
