I didn’t see it as a “spat” and obviously Trump didn’t either. Most people don’t seem to be aware of the harassment Barr is undergoing for doing his job - for example, that ridiculous House Judiciary Committee hearing next week, to be conducted by Nadler, of all people.
I think Trump was understandably angry and venting about the Stone case, and it served at least to call attention to it and to the players in it. But now he needs to step back and just support Barr quietly, and I think he will do that.
YEP- I feel bad for BARR that he has to face Gonad and his posse. It didn’t have to happen. Barr could just say screw this and retire. Not too many people are so loyal that they will allow themselves to be smeared by news media and interrogated while serving the President.
One tweet has now led to weeks of Dems and news having the stage yet again- who knows a whistle blower might be found in attempt to take out BARR.
