Found this in the Twitter thread from onecaliberal's DU post here:

1/ There's a reason that Barr issued an edict forbidding every type of federal investigation that could uncover wrongdoing in the Trump reelection campaignparticularly campaign finance issuesand then opened his door to any evidence that Giuliani might offer him about Joe Biden.
2/ William Barr is a conspiratoralongside his longtime associates Rudy Giuliani, Victoria Toensing and Joe diGenovain facilitating foreign aid to Trump's campaign. There's a reason for all of the actions he has taken. There's a reason he's lying about Bolton's accurate account.
3/ The evidence is overwhelmingand I've compiled it. Nearly all those who want to illegally aid Trump's campaign have cases Barr can move. Firtash has an extradition case. Kolomoisky has one. Erdogan wants the Halkbank case over. China, ZTE. Barr's fingers are in *all* the pies.
4/ Bolton accurately described his expressions of concern to Barr about precisely these cases and Trump's efforts to impact them. At the time Barr said he agreed, now he's lying and saying that those conversations never happened. Why? Because ultimately they will implicate *him*.
....
8/ For the momentas it takes a book to lay out all the evidenceI'll say this: if you see Barr's deeds through the lens of him being an *active co-conspirator* in the crimes prosecutors are investigating, you're going to have a *much* easier time understanding what's happening. [emphasis mine]
....
PS2/ But if you sense real anxiety in my tweeting, understand that it's *not* because I'm just some average dude who doesn't like the look of what he's seeing on his TV. NoI researched and wrote a 1,000-page book on this subject and *know* what's going on and it's terrifying me. [emphasis mine]
PS3/ Here's the very simplest way to understand it: Berman's SDNY is investigating a man who says Barr is a co-conspirator with Trump and Giuliani in laundering foreign money for the 2020 election. SDNY has the power to cut a deal with this man. Now Barr is trying to fire Berman. [emphasis mine]

Much, MUCH more in this thread. Worth a read, IMO.
We are so eff'd in the dark if they get away with this.
