Barr's Next move: recommend pardons!

I have a feeling Barr didn’t allow Mueller to complete his investigation and threatened to recommend pardons, thus sabotaging the entire thing. Republicans play dirty and we should not put it past him! His next move could still be to recommend pardons. Shutting the whole thing down. If Dems continue to push for the report it will be a moot point.

He probably threatened to fire everyone in the special counsel office and pardon everyone who crimed for Trump.

This would mean, of course, that he lied during his nomination hearings.
