(6,414 posts)But Barr doesnt have the same pull over them as he does the DOJ. I dont think they need his permission to indict someone.

(14,969 posts)to interfere in specific cases by inserting himself into decisions to indict or not -- and while that is absolutely not a barrier to Barr doing it (based on his other extraordinary behavior), Bharara implied that such a move would not remain secret for long if it happened. Maybe Barr thinks there is a finite number of way-out-of-bounds things he can get away with and he's keeping his powder dry for when he really needs it.
