5. Barr has long wanted to create an imperial presidency.

I think he saw his chance with Trump because Trump has no morality and he’s greedy for both money and power. Barr probably thought, rightly, that Trump would be happy to go along with his ideas for expanding presidential powers. In seeking the AG job, he might not have known that Senate Republicans would nullify the Constitutional system of checks and balances, but that has also worked to create the monster in the White House who believes he has power over the entire universe and no law can touch him. If Barr can only get Trump re-elected, the door is wide open to establish more of the authoritarian and theocratic government that Barr and Opus Dei want.
