We have some questions we’d love to #AskAGBarr. For example: Where in the Mueller report did he get the idea that he was supposed to unilaterally decide if Trump obstructed justice?
Why has he refused to take even basic steps to make sure as much of the Mueller report is released to the public—even after a judge deemed him too untrustworthy to oversee the redaction process because of his efforts to spin the report in Trump's favor? #AskAGBarr
What happened to all of those redacted referrals for further investigation at the end of the Mueller report? What about the counterintelligence component of the investigation? #AskAGBarr
What role did Barr play in the DOJ’s advice to DNI Maguire that he didn’t have to share the Ukraine whistleblower complaint with Congress, directly contradicting the actual law on the subject? #AskAGBarr
Which other countries, aside from Ukraine (and reportedly Australia), has Barr helped Trump extort for dirt on his political opponents? #AskAGBarr

What’s so special about Roger Stone and Mike Flynn that they deserved the personal intervention of the Attorney General to reduce their sentencing recommendations over the objections of the actual prosecutors overseeing their cases? #AskAGBarr
How can you maintain that Trump’s extortion of Ukraine was above board, but the 2016 Russia investigation, done through proper channels and carefully kept secret to avoid appearance of politicization despite real evidence of wrongdoing, was nefarious and maybe illegal? #AskAGBarr
How can you be so certain that John Durham will find the exact result you want him to find that you’re willing to repeatedly violate DOJ norms and predict a conclusion before the investigation is over? And what will you do if he doesn’t? #AskAGBarr
Is there a limit to how blatantly you are willing to undercut the department you were appointed to lead on Trump’s behalf? #AskAGBarr
How does it feel to have been such a key player in two different presidents’ blatant coverups of brazenly corrupt behaviors? #AskAGBarr
We think we know the answers to these questions—and they aren’t pretty. But we’d sure love to #AskAGBarr themoscowproject.org/explainers/the…
