He obviously did this because he wanted to steal the page-one, top-headline attention.
Barr and Trump have been on the outs for a while, both because Barr stated publicly that last month's election and the outcome were not hampered by significant fraud and because the Attorney General did not tell the President before the election that a tax investigation had been opened into Biden's son.
In short, Trump was outraged because, on two occasions, Barr chose the ethical option. Lying about the election to boost the President's ego would damage the country and the incoming presidency. And revealing the Biden tax investigation would have violated Department of Justice regulations as well as federal law.
Trump refuses to recognize such rationale, because in his mind, loyalty overrules everything else. If you have a choice between breaking the law or helping Trump, the outgoing President clearly thinks you should choose the latter option. In his mind, it's always me me me me me me me and nothing else.
So while Trump may have briefly stolen some of President-elect Biden's attention yesterday, he also underscored why he deserved to be defeated. He has no sense of right or wrong and no sense of country before self.
He is his own best witness in proving why he would always be unfit to be President.
