"Attorney General William Barr in April called President Donald Trump and urged him to tell his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani to tone it down in TV appearances, according to The Wall Street Journal"

"In his April phone call to Trump, Barr is said to have asked the president why Giuliani was attacking McGahn on TV and drawing attention to himself instead of declaring victory in the Mueller probe and calling for the country to move on, The Journal reported"

"Barr's interest in the matter is highly unusual, given that he is the nation's chief law enforcement officer and is tasked with guarding the institution of the presidency and not the reputation of the president himself."

"But this isn't the first time Barr has been perceived as functioning more as the president's personal lawyer than as the attorney general. In a July 25 conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Trump repeatedly pressured Zelensky to work with Barr and Giuliani to help discredit the Russia investigation as well as to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter."

Anybody who believes that billy barr is a real Attorney General has to be gullible beyond belief.

Trump knew after Sessions that if he wanted his Roy Cohn, billy barr wasn't picked cause Trump thought he would make a good AG, but rather because he knew billy barr would cover his ass regardless

This latest "investigation" Trumpkins are getting all giddy over has already been exposed as spurious, billy barr's attempt to have ready an election deflection if Trump bites the bullet on impeachment. And the real irony is that given its already recognized purpose, it is more likely to tarnish Trump than aid him
