Regarding all the mainstream media outrage about the Stone sentencing and the DOJ - they act as if the DOJ is a 4th branch of govt (as if the DC national security bureaucracy is a 4th branch of govt independent of the Executive) and I think Barr sees this as dangerous and is fighting for preserving the executive power over the bureaucratic power usurpation of power.
Barr is majorly corrupt and burying stuff day by day, week by week. Don’t kid yourself (or listen to Joe DiGenova or the Q psyop). Per usual, he might offer up some slight prosecution of some minor character, but all the big stuff is being buried on his watch: Clinton, Obama, the billion-dollar corruption and arms and drug deals, etc. Just look at Wray and the FBI. Totally pathetic and under Barr’s control.
And Barr I imagine is happy to throw Trump a bone or two, as part of the purported Trump/Bush truce that brought Barr in after Poppy’s death. But there’s no real retribution, for example, for all the Never Trumpers under Barr’s watch.
