Trump could have fired Barr and brought in an AG who does his bidding, but he didn't. And that's what counts.
Also, what does it tell you that Trump appointed people with baseline integrity who reined in his worst impulses while Biden brought in faithful party hacks who willingly go after his political opponents under any premise, no matter how justified or ridiculous, no matter how much they have to stretch and twist the law?
In the entire time Bill Barr was in the AG slot after Jeff Sessions collapsed into a spineless blob, Trump only tried to pressure Barr once to step out of line and abuse his office for political purposes. And Barr promptly told Trump to go fuck himself and resigned on the spot. And Trump did it just in the desperate plea to conjure up some evidence of voter fraud to stay in office,
not to persecute his political rivals. Ever since Biden took office he's been escalating how far he and Merrick Garland are willing to go to persecute their political rivals, whether its raiding their homes with storm troopers in the middle of the night or authorizing deadly force against a former president.
