Former Attorney General Eric Holder told Fox News on Tuesday that current Attorney General Bill Barr "is paying a price" and sacrificing his credibility by spearheading U.S. Attorney John Durham's ongoing probe into possible misconduct by the intelligence community at the outset of the Russia investigation. Holder's comments came a day after The New York Times reported that President Trump had privately pressed Australia's leader to help Barr in that probe. I think the attorney general needs to be a little more sensitive to the appearance that that gives. More often than not, the contact with other governments goes from attorney general to the attorney general's counterpart in the other country. Earlier this month, Joe Biden told Fox News in Iowa that he never discussed his son’s foreign business dealings with him.
