31. Barr is lying low. For perhaps three reasons:

1. Barr has COVID and is sick.

2. Barr is keeping a low profile because he wants to distance himself from his crimes in advance of a new AG during Biden's administration. IOW, Barr knows that Trump is going down and doesn't want to get in the way.

3. Barr is getting ready to pounce on the election machinery by contesting election results everywhere. He may be managing the writing of briefs and appeals that will eventually get to the Supreme Court.

Barr is now seeing, IMO, that the end of his career is fast approaching. Trump's loss will force Barr to seek a lot of legal advice on how to stay out of jail. A new AG can run up the score on Barr. He'll have an army of defense attorneys. ETTD. And Barr will be the showcase example of how people who stick with Trump get his curse. At a minimum, Barr will lose his license. And if that's all, he'll have dodged not a bullet, but a cannon shot.
