In a recent interview he claimed he committed a felony in order to inform everybody that he was not to reveal his involvement with Hillary being bribed and was facing 15 years in prison. A pardon will bring public awareness of what has taken place under the Obama administration.
Trump when asked if he was happy with Barr's performance, he replied with 'Ask me in a few weeks'. In Georgia Trump claimed that the Democrat might not be too happy in a few weeks. Something is coming up soon.
