Yes, but Barr was not coerced.
He was sent with a free hand to clean this mess up, there is NO WAY the other team would give in without protection for Obama, Jarrett, Holder, and (probably) Lynch.
You can bet they would have gone to guns to protect those four, and blood is a big expense.
If the government manages to get Brennan and Clapper in prison, it will have been a very good deal. Even if they get them both off the board and into a peaceful retirement, the deal will probably turn out OK.
At the McCabe level and below, though, all bets are off. I don't think any of them have the ability to call out the hard men, and a point does have to be made.
“there is NO WAY the other team would give in without protection”
What do you mean by “give in”? Does it mean they were involved in Barr being confirmed — conspiring with Rat senators?
winner winner chicken dinner, I think you hit the nail on the head,
These are all "big Fish progressives" involved
DOJ can only use barbless hooks for big fish progressives and they are catch and release. R.O.E.s involve rugs and brooms.
Only the little fish are allowed to be caught
BTW, how about that Assange, I bet he will make a tasty distraction, de-boned, filet'd and fried....LOL !
