Bill Barr is a douchebag.
He only ever presented his opinions vs reviews of facts.
I remember one time he was able to read an entire 450 page report with footnotes etc within 2d days and come up with an opinion. Further was rebuked by judges and the author himself as not keeping to the context of the report or it's contents.
Point being Barr has likely protected DEMOCRACY over reality of laws or his mandate. He's an idealist in the GOP and he doesn't like Trump.
But he does love the GOP so he'll go to his grave never being a man of justice. Just a man of party. - plus he's bitten his lip so much he has a fat skin cancer on it from protecting all the assholes he's obfuscated for to date!
