Barr also had no valid reason to release information about the investigation into Hunter Biden. And those condemning Barr for remaining mum while the press buried the story that would have buried Biden fail to see that they are demanding of Barr what they condemned in the Obama-Biden administration.

The rule of law must not bend to the benefit of anyone. Barr knows this, and has withstood serial attempts to force his ouster, either temporarily via recusal or permanently by calls for his resignation or impeachment. Barr is neither coward nor has moderated his response, and for that he deserves our respect.
