The suspicion is that Barr was doing Trump’s bidding, but the attorney general maintains — and he hasn’t been contradicted — that he was surprised by the initial, maximalist sentencing recommendation, and he intended to amend it before Trump’s fulminations about the matter.
If Barr were truly Trump’s henchman, he would have squashed the Stone case rather than merely recommending a little less jail time at the end. Indeed, Barr said in an ABC News interview last week that he considered the Stone case a “righteous” prosecution.
Barr allowed the Mueller probe to reach its conclusion unmolested. The extent of his alleged interference was, prior to the release of the report, summarizing its findings in a way that wasn’t harsh or detailed enough for Trump’s critics.
Finally, he declined to prosecute former Department of Justice official and frequent Trump target Andrew McCabe for lying to investigators. If Barr is really Trump’s Roy Cohn, his personal enforcer masquerading as a top law-enforcement official, nailing McCabe would have been his Job One.
No, all the evidence suggests that Bill Barr is doing his best to render fair justice in the treacherous environment created by a president of the United States who routinely comments on pending criminal cases and investigations and by the Justice Department’s own politically fraught, overly zealous intervention in the 2016 election and its aftermath.
Anti-Barr polemics dwell on the parade of horribles that might come from his tenure at Justice, without pausing to consider that a norm-busting violation of the rules targeting a politically inconvenient individual already occurred — it was the abusive FISA surveillance of former Trump campaign official Carter Page.

Lefties, pay particular attention to the last paragraph—and ‘whataboutism’ won’t cut it.
Next, tell us what Barr *has actually done* that warrants his resignation.

It’s the usual media/left psycho-drama about a whole lot of not much lol.
The writer points out that Barr is actually the adult in the room doing his best to not get involved on the political side. If Barr really was Trump’s ‘wing man’ why is McCabe still working for CNN? After lying under oath, McCabe is still a paid contributor to CNN.
If the ‘journalists’ want to go after Barr—why don’t they go after him on that? And why don’t they go ask General Flynn how he feels about Barr and whether he should resign for allowing a two-tiered justice system to exist in the ‘justice’ department?
Trump’s greatest ‘sin’ in commenting on the Stone case. Big deal. Why does anyone care? Is there anything else happening that’s actually newsworthy?
I guess something had to fill the ‘Trump outrage vacuum’ after the impeachment fail. But this one is absurd even by the usual standards of fake outrage.

Barr is a threat to the Dems because he will enforce the law and Dems consider themselves to be above the law.
Trump doesn't wear glasses because he already has 2020.
