What was Barr supposed to say, we are going to throw the bum in jail? He never said things may change once they get up the chain. Guess you want Trump to do things the way Barak did them and throw out judicial rights.
If there is proof, either broke the law, then justice needs to be served. Justice was never about being gentlemanly. If Barr is afraid of his gentlemanly reputation being stained, then perhaps hes not up for the task.
It sounds like ones status is the deciding factor.
