Remember that Barr would vote for him again as well.
I wonder, could it be a method for him to tell right wingers how awful Trump is and not get dismissed outright. It is probably helping more people hear the truth than would have.
But for a group of people who always will put party ahead of nation, what will it actually do?
Edited to add Barr's quote:
No, you are giving this bastard way too much credit.
Nah, he keeps telling the media how awful Trump is because they keep paying him and he keeps saying he'll vote for him again either in the hopes of being paid by the next administration, to keep from being executed by it or both.
That goes against his long and storied history of being in the tank for the Republican party. He convinced Bush Sr to pardon the few people who were convicted in the Iran-Contra scandal to execute a cover-up, he slow-walked and misrepresented the findings of Mueller's report on Russian interference, and he's always ascribed to the unitary executive theory. If his history and career is any indication, I suspect he talked about it because he legitimately thinks the president should be able to execute his political rivals (as long as they have an elephant pin on their lapel, naturally).
Because Barr also wants to be bale to execute his own rivals, I guess.
