The two options are: 1) Barr is protecting the Deep State and 2) Barr and Trump are playing a very deep state in an effort to take down the Deep State together.
All the evidence right now is pointing to Option #1.
But I’m hoping for Option #2 before this is all over.
If Option #1 is the real situation, Barr will go into the history books as a remarkably evil person. The poster child of dirty government. Anyone with clear eyes sees that we have a two tiered system of government. Barr will either perpetuate that or kill it.
d’oh! I meant: “playing a deep game”

Sadly, I don’t see any options after seeing McConnell breaking a leg to get in front of a TV camera and validate Barr’s targeted attack on Presidential prerogative last week. That was a way too conveniently choreographed bit of beltway theater to be by chance.
POTUS is riding solo inside the beltway. He is a POTUS without a party there.
