The substance was HUGE! Barr states all the cases that backs up his claim.
Summary is the President is elected by The People. President has Constitutional powers. Constitutional powers trumps any other powers. President use of his Constitutional powers can't be a conflict of interest, because the President is where the final decision is. There's no other powers above the President in the Executive Branch.
President can fire his minions (eg Head of the FBI). That is the President's Constitutional power. This can't be claimed as obstruction of justice. Why? Because the law was not set up this way. Eg If Head of FBI fires one of their minions, that Head of FBI can't be charged with obstruction of justice. Why? Because how far down the ladder can you go? What if an FBI fires one of his minion, is that also obstruction of justice?
Also note that Barr states that you can't charge obstruction of justice by the motive of the President. Only the actions. Because you can't objectively prove a thinking.
Barr is pretty good, and very smart.
