Attorney General William P. Barr has one of the pricklier bosses in the United States – President Donald Trump, who has very loudly and very often made clear his views on how Barr should perform his job. It’s possible that Barr’s broad acquiescence to Trump’s worldview is a function of that public pressure; it’s perhaps more likely that Barr simply agrees with Trump’s vision, which is how he earned his position in the first place. Regardless of the reason, Barr’s service as attorney general has often reflected what Trump long hoped to see in that position: a broadly loyal defender, battling the same enemies that Trump likes to target.
