When Attorney General Bill Barr was confirmed earlier this year, even some of President Trump’s fiercest critics expressed a cautious optimism. Barr had already served in the role under President George H.W. Bush, and he was a man many in the D.C. legal establishment thought would uphold governmental norms.
