It's one thing for the supposedly-impartial AG to give Trump the benefit of the doubt, but it is another thing when the AG invents a doubt that is not textually there, and then gives Trump the benefit of that too.
Bottom Line: Barr is a lying partisan charlatan who has betrayed his office, his integrity and the Justice Department all for the sake of placing Trump above the reach of the law.

You might find this article rather interesting. Provides more of a nuanced background to Barr's conduct.
