This news also raises the stakes for the ethics professionals in their analysis of Barr’s need to recuse, because he pre-judged the situation in both his memo and answer to Klobouchar about a President persuading a witness to commit perjury. In essence if the evidence strongly backs up the allegation that Trump ordered Cohen to lie to Congress then Barr in on record calling that a criminal offense.

In other words Barr is now trapped and must recuse, which in Trump’s view was Sessions’ great betrayal.

I love how Klobouchar just laid that trap and Barr walked right into it!
