Barr: If confirmed, I will assure that the full might of our resources is brought to bear on any outside power who tries to interfere in our elections Sounds good. But would he hold it against POTUS?

DiFi asked him about presidential powers.
Barr placing a gulf of difference between "POTUS feels strongly that something, unrelated to him, should be pursued" and "POTUS uses his office to interfere in the pursuit of justice"

Barr: A POTUS using his office to protect himself or his family would be a breach of his Constitutional Duty.
DiFi: Emoluments tho?
Barr: Uh, I'm not familiar with the clause

Barr: Scuttling an investigation would be an abuse of presidential power. But firing US Attorneys for political reasons is ok bc they are political appointees.
Dianne's face as she tried to digest that and turn her page was PRICELESS

Does Grassley believe that this whole thing is a false claim? Grassley's concerns are legitimate. Barr previously called a law protecting whistleblowers an "abomination." It's worth making sure the AG will uphold and enforce a law that SCOTUS has upheld. It's just surprising to see him using his time responsibly.

Barr favors more mandatory minimums. UGH.
ETA he favored more mandatory minimums in 1992 but credits the ones currently in place for our low crime rate. Still bad. not as bad as it originally sounded.

That was a lot.
Basically will he support First Step even though he thinks mandatory mins are the thing
Barr thinks comparing 92 to now isn't fair, there is greater regularity in sentencing. (Which is ...not necessarily true.) But will take reform seriously

Barr really is stressing how much he doesnt want this job.
I'm curious as to who his great big new client was.
