'Off the Rails.' How a Veteran Prosecutor Sees Bill Barr's Legacy
When he got in office this time, though, he really went off the rails. The audition memo that foreshadowed that he would fix the Mueller Report for Donald Trump. His intervention with Michael Flynn and the Roger Stone case, both of which were unprecedented. The way he writes to the public about the threat of election fraud. [Barr ultimately rejected Trumps false claims of fraud in the 2020 election.] He did a 180, really, from the way he had handled the job previously.
