I think there is a distinct possibility that Barr did this on purpose. Many are going after Barr. Trump can take the hit and it strengthens Barr so he can continue the swamp draining.

Lets hope so. The Barr Durham report will tell us if this is true, and for the sake of our country I hope it is.
Bingo! If the president and attorney general truly had such serious differences, they would discuss them privately instead of in public. This is theater, intended to create the illusion of a personal rift between the two, and to establish Barr as “independent” from POTUS. It is a diversion, just like with Sessions, Mattis, Kelly and others before. Classic disinformation from strategists toying with tacticians. When Barr strikes, his enemies will have already lauded him. Eisenhower and Patton, anyone?
Totally agree. In fact, I think the President purposely caused this uproar to divert attention away from Barr and undercut the House’s investigations of the DoJ so Barr can continue with less of a media circus. In other words, Trump and Barr are doing “good cop/bad cop” for the D.C. establishment (with Mitch supporting role).
I think that Barr did this on purpose too. It was to present an air of independence with his treatment of the Stone sentencing. Barr does not want to appear as if he is being influenced by Trump who is concerned about the treatment of his friend. I believe we are seeing the optics of something operating on a level not to be understood by conventional thinking.
