Bill Barr finally revealed the real reason he’s such an aggressive Trump defender

Raw Story  

Attorney General Bill Barr has become a lightning rod of sorts in administration, standing out front and taking public hits as he does President Donald Trump’s dirty work at the Justice Department. Far from being the institutionalist even many critics of Trump hoped Barr would be, the attorney general showed his true colors when he spun Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report on the conclusions of the Russia investigation. NBC News’ Pete Williams asked Barr about why he is so aggressively pursuing Trump’s “investigation of the investigators” — now a criminal probe of the Russia investigation run by U.S. Attorney John Durham — even after the Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz released a lengthy report on the subject. He cheered Comey’s decision as the right one — even though former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein would later cite Comey’s decision to justify Trump’s decision to fire the director.
