I wonder if it is because Barr thought the U1 should be investigated?

“There is nothing inherently wrong about a president calling for an investigation,” said William P. Barr, who ran the Justice Department under President George Bush. “Although an investigation shouldn’t be launched just because a president wants it, the ultimate question is whether the matter warrants investigation.”

Mr. Barr said he sees more basis for investigating the uranium deal than any supposed collusion between Mr. Trump and Russia. “To the extent it is not pursuing these matters, the department is abdicating its responsibility,” he said.

It is hard to know. I would think he is likely establishment.

I was also wondering if it was a set up to catch a leaker? It seems Trump says things, and when they get leaked he then knows who he cannot trust. The only reason I thought that might be true in this case, is the article I read said Barr had told Trump earlier that he might want to find someone else.

Who knows, we shall soon see though. I hope he gets someone in soon before they find something to nail Whittaker on. I also wish he would fire Rosenstein so there is no more ideas that Rosenstein can supervise Mueller.
