Barr besieged by allegations he's being Trump's protector
Let's see...a "siege" is a military campaign wherein an attacking army tries to seclude a target city, castle, or encampment, preventing food and other necessities from coming in, whilst bombarding the target city, castle, or encampment, all in the hope of forcing surrender.
At the present moment, the U.S. Attorney General is attempting to go about his business, meet his constitutional obligations, and put to rest the long campaign to reverse the results of the 2016 presidential election. The ill-presented "Mueller Report" has been made public to the extent that it is legal to be made public, its conclusions are open to any literate person to interpret, and Mueller has made himself available to both Congresspeople and Senators who wish to question him about his release of the Mueller Report (which was, by law, a "confidential" document), and his decision not to pursue criminal prosecution of the President or any of his minions, based on the findings of the Mueller Report.
The said Report conspicuously did not recommend prosecuting any of the questionable activities, nor does it exonerate any of the misdeed-era...but of course exoneration was not the purpose of the Mueller team, so that is not surprising.
In the face of the A.G. trying to go about his business, he has been publicly and viciously slandered (to which he has not bothered to respond), his impeachment has been impotently suggested, he is threatened with being pointlessly and impotently charged with "Contempt of Congress," and AOC doesn't "like" him.
Question: Is he "besieged" if (a) none of his accusers is being truthful, (b) none of the threats can effectively be carried out, (c) he is not visibly harmed, nor is there any chance that he will be harmed by any of this, and (d) he manifestly doesn't care?
It is a puzzlement.
