To take the heat off of Barry.
My guess is that Barry has bigger problems in all of this than we know of.
Needs Hill to take the hit, maybe to avoid impeachment.
The weird thing is the heat was never on Barry from day 1. Sure conservatives were calling him out but no one in the media did, and nothing mattered as it was swept under the rug. Barry has nothing to lose now. He’s going down with the ship and the ship is the USA.
