Barr is the attorney general. That is Barr's prerogative. Durham has already found criminal wrongdoing, which the IG is not authorized to do. Additionally, irrespective of the IGs conclusion about the inception of the investigation, it was clear after the second renewal of the FISA application that the dossier was known to be false. So the third and fourth applications suppressed exculpatory information that would have undercut the renewal of the FISA warrant; hence, they were illegal.
