Think, for a moment, about Barr’s mindset:

He believes that Donald Trump perpetrated a massive conspiracy in order to overturn a presidential election.

He believes that the former president is responsible for sending a violent mob—including one person wearing a black hoodie emblazoned with camp auschwitz, some erecting a gallows with a rope, others chanting “Hang Mike Pence”—to storm and desecrate the Capitol in hopes of intimidating lawmakers.

He believes that the former president has gone “off the rails” and “lost his grip,” was “manic and unreasonable,” and has demonstrated “erratic personal behavior.”

And yet Bill Barr would still vote for Donald Trump for president. It raises the question: Just what would Trump need to do in order for Barr not to vote for him?
