In recent comments to the New York Times, former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein defended his former boss against criticism over Barr’s befuddling handling of the release of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report.
Rosenstein suggested criticism of the way Barr rolled out the report — writing his own summary of the document, concluding that President Trump didn’t obstruct justice after Mueller wouldn’t make a determination, holding a bizarre pro-Trump press conference — was unfair.
“A few years from now, after all of this is resolved, some of Barr’s critics might conclude that his approach was a reasonable way to navigate through a difficult situation,” he told the Times.
