… and the threat to any law enforcement power that threatens the president is going to continue:

.@SenJackReed: Do you have any evidence there was anything improper in the FBI's counterintelligence investigation of Trump?
BARR: No
REED: So what are you investigating?
BARR: I have concerns about various things
REED: Do you believe it was a 'witch hunt'?
BARR: Depends! pic.twitter.com/9BRB0HtXVZ— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) April 10, 2019
