"Trump has dispatched Barr on a Reichstag-esque mission to promote a wacky & discredited rightwing conspiracy theory, which originates from the darkest corners of the rightwing Internet, that could, discredit the findings of former special counsel Robert Mueller on Russian election interference, divert public attention from Trump’s manifold acts of corruption, and cripple the impeachment inquiry. It’s too early to tell what kind of narrative Barr will ultimately confabulate to come to Trump’s rescue, but the President’s other surrogates have been hard at work, auditioning defenses to impeachment, lambasting the impeachment process & contending, among other risible verbal broadsides, that Congressional Democrats are trying to engineer a coup d’état. Trump has finally found his Roy Cohn."
