Bill Barr’s Actions on the Mueller Report: A Response to Jack Goldsmith

rlitt at Lawfare - 4 hours ago
Attorney General Bill Barr meets with tech industry representatives. (Source: Justice Department) Jack Goldsmith’s defense of Attorney General Barr’s handling of the Mueller report is typically thoughtful but ultimately unpersuasive. While certain aspects of Barr’s behavior could be defensible if they stood alone, taken as a whole his course of conduct—what he said, how he said it and what he didn’t say—shows that Barr is not merely “defen[ding] the presidency” institutionally, as Goldsmith argues, but defending this particular president politically.
