It's almost like Barr auditioned for the job with his pre-appointment memo on ~obstruction by a POTUS. Now, he's saying and doing what he needs to in order to avoid being Sessioned. Rosenstein offered to wear a wire. Humor me, if you will. Barr is either a traitor, or a patriot. No middle ground. Is he a plant? Undercover? Is HE the spy?

Or should I see about an adjustment in my medications?

Donald Trump is a thug and those who work for this deranged crook are afraid of him. Why wear a wire when you lie constantly and openly?

Everything can be explained by thinking MOB. The loyalty oaths, the thuggery, the banishment of those who fall in disfavor.

MOB BOSS TRUMP.

Even if you wanted to grant him the benefit of the doubt about everything he's said and done publicly and semi-publicly in re Trump, you still have to square your hypothesis with his role in the GHW Bush administration. There/then he was major player in Iran-Contra pardons on the grounds that GOP POTUSes don't have to follow the law, nor do their underlings, and that they can abuse the power of their office to ensure this -- all of those things line up with him being a Trump enabler, not a mole.
