and even if it didn't, he knew Mueller will testify soon and the letter would have come out then. So of course he was prepared with a planned response. My guess is that someone we've never heard of leaked the letter; the AG's office has a lot of employees, and maybe some obscure staff attorney who didn't like where his/her office was going decided this had better come out before Barr testified.
