He comes out and says "That's not me me and, by the way, don't look behind the curtain". He doesn't want the spotlight on the dirty deeds he's doing for Traitor45.

Trump said Barr had the right to say what he wants. If Barr had been real in his criticism, trump would have tweeted insults at him.

Don’t ever trust what comes out of their mouths.
