If one follows the thread from the US House false findings into the Russian invasion of the elections of 2016, to the current focus by Barr to indict FBI agents, officials and former officials as well as the Special Counsel, it is premeditated. IT IS ALL SCRIPTED at least for the purpose of the campaign to no information voters. Trump must have an "Apprentice" staff writer somewhere in the shadows.
Besides Barr setting up a shadow governance in the DOJ, Congress is busy trying to repeal laws that Trump has already violated.
Remember the US House investigation on Russian invasion into the 2018 elections when the Republicans were a majority?
The reason Trump is so puzzled about how to approach "Nancy" is that he wants her to continue to undermine the Rule of Law in the USA and there is always impeachment. But, Trump knew before the 2018 elections he would be more troubled by the truth in the Senate than the House.
Additionally, the base supporters of Trump are getting their ideology purposed to cause violence in the country. The abortion law from Alabama was purposed as a campaign stump speech long before it passed into law by stories of women and doctors committing infanticide while calling it abortion. That speech came before the law, so the Tea Party is locking arms.
With the actions of Nunes, when in leadership, it is very easy to say the Tea Party Republicans/Freedom Caucus are using their elected power to undermine the Rule of Law. That goes for spineless Republicans like McConnell as well who is convinced that Trump's extremism is their own avenue to electability. That loyalty to electability is anti-American as it leads to dangerous rhetoric that is a direct threat to the USA Constitution.
Eliminating the law regarding private conversations with foreign governments won't change any sanctions currently standing as legislated law.
In a rally, Trump stated he was going to round up the Deep State and prosecute them, that is why the anti-law speech by Barr. Barr is a political operative and Trump's defense attorney and not serving the American people. It is time for him to go. Barr was an extremist before in his loyalty to Republican presidents. Enough.

House investigators (click here) have released a highly anticipated report on Russia’s election interference. Among the recommendations in the report, the lawmakers called for the repeal of a federal statute barring private citizens from negotiating with foreign countries for the United States without authorization.
18 U.S. Code § 953.Private correspondence with foreign governments (click here)
Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both....
Friday’s report by the House Intelligence Committee came almost two months after the panel said it had finished its investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election and possible links to political campaigns. Investigators found no evidence that President Donald Trump’s campaign coordinated with Russia, the report said, a finding that the president was quick to point out on Twitter on Friday.
The report also called for Congress to repeal the Logan Act, a statute that says private citizens cannot negotiate with foreign countries on behalf of the U.S. unless they are authorized to do so....
The United States of America has foreign policy for a reason. People like Trump and the Trump Company do not have the right to change that policy for their convenience and profit.
It is notable that the US House Representatives that proposed such a change in USA foreign policy law should receive ethics reviews. Their constituency needs to be aware of their violation of the public trust.
