Barr decided to "exonerate" Trump because "That's generally how the Department of Justice works"

Some news from Barr: He says Mueller did NOT say that he meant to punt the question to Congress on whether Trump obstructed justice; He said that Mueller did not ask the AG to make the decision either. But said: “That’s generally how the Department of Justice works.”

Barr has no legal authority to determine guilt or innocence from this investigation , or be able to hide any parts he wants hidden. Congress and only Congress has that authority. By refusing to show them the full report he's obstructing justice , and if he showed or discussed it with trump , he conspired. Barr claims to be by the law , which he's lied, and again trump corrupted this investigation by appointing him in the first place. If this stands this country is in trouble , after losing the rule of law, and now starting a Hillary or Comey investigation is more corrupting of our DOJ by Barr for trump . Republicans want no rule of law too?
