That was the deal made to call off the witch hunt. Barr was tasked with closing off any remaining loop holes and allowing possible prosecution to die.
In return, Trump will have each of his nominees confirmed; that is, if he follows the deep state's directions. We can see Trump still didn't understand the terms when he erroneously thought he might get a new DNI confirmed. Wrong!

Opinions and a certain body part.
Everybody has one.
