Barr's a political appointee and one that came in with a stated out loud by himself conflict of interest. You're argument about partisanship would certainly apply here. I think saying "period the end" without actually seeing the report isn't reasonable.
No one ever called Barr a partisan political operative, even up through his attorney general nomination a few months ago. Barr has always been considered a lawyer's lawyer, who has always pursued the rule of law throughout his career.
Again, as I stated above, contrast that with Obama-era attorney general Eric Holder, who openly said:
"I'm Obama's wingman, I'm his boy", a level of partisanship no Democrat voices a problem with, even as they suddenly accuse Barr of being partisan, for simply pursuing equal justice under the law. As contrasted with the one-sided Democrat weaponization of justice only against Republicans that preceded Barr.
