I think Barr left some guardrails. I also think if it was a real coup, Pilger would have been too afraid to resign publicly:

Pilger threw himself on his sword to alert us all as to how dangerous Barr’s authorization is. He could have waited out the last 60+ days of Trump, but the policy signals to Trump’s minions Barr’s willingness to toss out the rule of law. https://t.co/R55vtyMlku

There were no irregularities. This is an attempted coup & every major figure in America needs to denounce it. US attorneys need to resign in protest. They are trying to overturn the election & subvert the will of the people https://t.co/feduK8RC67

I think you’re 100% correct.
