My guess, Barr directed put up or shut up.
I’m betting that the investigation was slowing down the profitable needed corruption to raise the needed money for 2020. The Dems needed money. They will move on to plan C now.
Agreed. Although the author’s theory concerning the Horowitz report has merit, I believe that his initial Barr and “an adult in the room” observation makes more sense.
The article goes on to speculate that the looming release of the IG’s report was the main catalyst for Mueller closing up shop because the report is said to lay bare the spying and sedition scandal. I tend to disagree with that theory simply because the very existence of the SC cabal itself prevented the IG’s access to major pieces of evidence it would seem to me.
I agree, Barr and Mueller had a put up, or shut up meeting.
That’s my thought, too. Barr knew everything that Mueller didn’t have and also knew everything other more quiet and judicious DOJ investigations did have so he told Mueller it was time to wrap it up and submit his report.
