Parnas' arrest certainly had the effect of shutting up Trump and allies, but I have a hard time believing it was intentional, considering the massive propaganda effort that was all but demolished with their arrest.

I could more easily believe that Barr worked to keep others from being arrested and/or investigated, and warned them off of traveling with Fruman and Parnas, so that they wouldn't be nearby when FruPar were arrested.
In which case, a more accurate description would be that Barr couldn't prevent their arrest, and so arranged to limit the collateral damage as much as possible. Part of that WOULD mean shutting down the propaganda effort.
At any rate I hope more of that evidence is deemed relevant, rather than less, because I'm sure it says exactly what I've been saying for many months.
