What else would anyone expect? And now Barr has put another one of his goons in place to handle the remains of the Mueller report and ensure that if Congress subpoenas other witnesses for anything, they can ignore the subpoenas without being in contempt.

Trump has Barr there to ensure the DoJ covers Trump's personal legal ass. And nothing else.
