You have to be kidding. You do not see the difference between an experienced prosecutor and member of the opposition party concluding that no prosecutor would charge and Barr, having auditioned for the job by calling the investigation invalid, doing what he was hired to do, arguably in direct conflict with the report itself? (Oh, which he did without reviewing any of the underlying evidence too.) Man.

Like, what kind of leeway? And what did she so to obstruct the investigation? And which investigation, because wasn't the deletion before the investigation into the deletion?
And she didn't need leeway. She didn't do anything meaningfully wrong.
No, technical non-compliance with government records processes when government systems weren't up to the task doesn't count.
