> “Barr simply chose not to use his office publicly to pursue political ends.”
Let’s discuss that a little.
On the surface, Barr looks principled in not pursuing an opponent’s crimes for reasons political, “wouldn’t be proper” etc.
But as AG, Barr doesn’t get to choose who and who not to prosecute among connected persons. Barr played politics here.
Barr’s job was to prosecute.
Barr chose not to do his job; he disobeyed.
That said, it was somewhat okay for Barr to tell Trump “politely and respectfully” that he shouldn’t discuss it but he still had the duty to investigate.
Barr should have said, “Mr. President, with all due respect the Hunter Biden matter is under investigation but I’d rather not discuss unless I see it’s vital to National Security. Mr. President, if you have obtained some information concerning this matter, please tell me, otherwise I wish to remain neutral as this involves your opponent in an election year.
As I think on this, I would say Barr is in fear of surviving, prompting him to flip-flop in his behavior.
In other words, Barr is a coward.
I would say the same if it was Merrick Garland talking to Biden about matters of Don Jr.
Barr is worse than a coward. He is a traitor to this country as are most of the people in DC.
By what Constitutional authority does Barr have the right to do any of that? The Constitutional gives POTUS the authority and obligation of making sure all laws are faithfully executed, not the AG.

The verbiage you’ve concocted for Barr is good. Too bad you were not present to advise.
