I am a professed 'Trump-hater' as you've described us, we prefer to be described as the people who are trying to salvage what's left of this democratic republic after the vast devastation rained down on us by Trump's administration. Personally, I was expecting exactly what we've seen so far. I had an open mind watching this and didn't judge him despite the 20 page pro-Trump memo he released last June. I do have a problem that he shared this memo with Kushner's counsel, with Trump, and with others because I can assume he was merely campaigning for himself to be appointed to this position.
So far, he has answered questions appropriately in addition to confirming that he will release the Mueller results publicly but of course would redact any information that would reveal sources and methods. That's fine with me. Considering that we've had far worse with Jeff Sessions and Matt Whitaker, we have to take a leap of faith at some point and put our trust into someone.
Barr is an excellent choice. Very impressive. I don't think either side is going to get to weaponize him.
What a remarkable contrast to the circus that was the Kavanaugh confirmation.
