Ignatius: Barr’s ‘Good Sense Has Been Broken Down’ By Being In Trump’s DoJ As AG

EXCERPT:

IGNATIUS: "There are two possible answers. One is that when he read the Mueller report, which we still have not, he looked at the evidence and decided that there was far less that he had expected of wrongdoing and that he had questions about how the investigation got started in the first place. I think the more troubling one, and likely the more accurate, is that his good sense has been broken down by being in Donald Trump’s Justice Department as attorney general. He is surrounded by people who believe these conspiracy theories. It takes strong character in a period like this to resist lies. You have to stand up. You have to take risks. And Barr, looking at him, I felt looked like a weak attorney general who is not prepared to dig in and tell the country the truth, even though it would risk meaning the President was angry at him. He didn’t seem like the man to do that."
