It’s a sad mark of the times when I wonder if the Administration is carefully manipulating its leaks. The trigger? The step following this post:
The president’s post-impeachment behavior has alarmed Attorney General William P. Barr, who has told people close to the president that he is willing to quit unless Trump stops publicly commenting on ongoing criminal matters, according to two administration officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations. It also has appalled several legal experts and former officials, who have said his direct intervention in legal matters risks further politicizing law enforcement at a time of fraying confidence in the Justice Department.

As I noted before, Barr has little use for all those who are secularists: Those who think our society is better off as secular. I’ll only be impressed if he resigns in the next two weeks.
Right now I’m inclined to think this is all just careful manipulation of public opinion by a President who lives for doing just that.
