Trump is an honest person and said he would stay out of it until he no longer can stand it. Trying to seem distanced from it is my guess.

The more it looks like he and Barr are at odds, the less chances the Dems can cry about Trump controlling Barr etc etc.

Exactly what was said about him and Sessions. No one is buying that shit anymore.

FWIW I have seen and heard enough from Barr to trust in his intent, if not his ability.

I think to a large extent he faces massive insubordination at all levels of the DOJ, and I have seen him specifically say that for criminal prosecutions he has to very carefully cross Ts and dot Is, if he doesnt, prosecutions are likely to be labeled political (from fair minded independent observers), and we simply cant have that.

I actually agree with giving the system a wide berth, even though it frustrates and infuriates me. Im not looking to sell my soul to do political persecutions like they did - I am not personally looking to become like THEM. I know some people disagree with this.

It pisses me off that Democrats can be blatantly partisan in all aspects of government, but when we do it, it’s suddenly wrong

Trump not knowing is actually a good thing. Trump sounded generally surprised, still believing in what Barr has told him. If Barr new for sure he wasn’t releasing the report before the election, he would have had to at least communicate to Trump this information by now.

Spez: I apparently was wrong.

Agree, but now while on a national show live, he states how pissed he is. And how he is going to talk to Barr about it.

Now if something happens it definitely looks like Trump strong armed him into doing something. I don't think this is some 4D chess deal.

I call bullshit on that though. The Democrats will say what they're going to say no matter what.
