My best guess is that this is mostly kabuki theater designed to remove the ‘Barr is a political hack’ charges from the Dems when indictments come around. It’s even conceivable that he and POTUS may have discussed making such a statement ahead of time. In the meantime, the public is more educated about the injustices of the Roger Stone case thanks to POTUS’s tweets.
Sorry, didn’t see your post and said the same thing. This is kabuki. Win - win. We all know, and Barr shows his independence.
