Nov 2019

while he had a 45 minute "animated" discussion with Barr and others in the Oval Office. When he came out to get on Marine I, he refused to take questions.

Someone on DU pointed out earlier tonight that if that Oval Office discussion had gone well for Trump, he would have taken a chance to talk to the press and spike the football, so the conclusion of that DU member was that the discussion went badly for Trump. Barr may be at a point where criminality and future jail for him is a sure thing, he may not want to carry Trump's water anymore.
