Susan Hennessey: Bill Barr’s Comment on Trump’s Tweeting Is Just Theater

RUSH EXCERPT:

HENNESSEY: “In this one case in which the doj has a process for considering sentencing recommendation, that process isn’t perfect but it is designed to be apolitical. When that process produced a result that was unfavorable to one of the president’s political cronies and in only that case, that is political interference. The idea that Bill Barr is expecting us to believe that is just a concern about criminal justice reform, one sort of Trump crony at a time, it just defies logic. It defies belief. I really do believe this is just about theater in attempting to hold the line with his own staff within the department.”
