complicating factor to him. >> where does attorney general barr come into this? he is somebody who essentially weighed in through the justice department about the idea of handing over the complaint. >> yeah. let's not forget the legal contortions they went through to try to keep that complaint under wraps. the law says if the complaint is found to be credible and urgent, which the i.g. did find, it shall be submitted to congress. shall, not negotiate able, mandatory, shall. unscrupulous lawyers can reach any conclusion that they want. it seems like that's what bill barr did here. surprise, surprise. guess how he came out the way of suppressing information that might damage the president? >> i'm going to move past the word unscrupulous. frank, why is this story not clear to other people? i mean is it a matter of people not understanding the nuanced time line here, or is there something more to it? people's inability or refusal to say these dots are connecting or they're washing over us?
