Ask Yourself Why Bolton Told A. G. Barr About Trump's Actions

Perhaps the answer is to be found in the Federal Criminal Code - 18 US Code Sect. 4 - Misprision of a Felony

“Whoever, having knowledge of the actual commission of a felony cognizable by a court of the United States, conceals and does not as soon as possible make known the same to some judge or other person in civil or military authority under the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.”

Interesting that Bolton should pick A G Barr (an “other person in civil or military authority under the United States”) to tell about Trumps behavior.

put Barr in the line of fire in any way? If the person who told about the crime is out of the woods, doesn't that leave Barr holding the bag?
