Barr was always a partisan Republican and Mueller was "fastidiously apolitical."

This makes sense. I never believed that just because the wives were in some prayer group and somebody went to someone's child's wedding that that made them good buddies -- just long-time professional acquaintances whose wives may have had some kind of friendship.
If Barr and Mueller were really friends, Mueller wouldn't have had to write that letter and Barr wouldn't have called it "snitty."

If Trump is successful in keeping Mueller from testifying Republicans are going to claim the Mueller investigation is over, let's move on to investigating the crooked FBI and Democrats who carried on a witch hunt against Trump. Had not Mueller written those 2 letters to Barr, Democrats were toast. If Mueller does not get to testify Democrats are still toast because they won't hold impeachment hearings.
