As I posted in another thread, this quote from the article spells out the issue pretty succinctly:

[quote]David Laufman, a former Justice Department official who was involved in the early stages of the Russia probe, said it was “fairly unorthodox for the attorney general personally to be flying around the world as a point person to further evidence-gathering for a specific Justice Department investigation,” and especially so in Barr’s case.

“Even if one questions, as a threshold matter, the propriety of conducting a re-investigation of the Justice Department’s own prior investigation of Russia’s interference, the appointment of John Durham — a seasoned, nonpartisan prosecutor — provided some reason to believe that it would be handled in a professional, nonpartisan manner,” Laufman said. “But if the attorney general is essentially running this investigation, that entire premise is out the window.”

Or to quote a favorite twitter meme with a pic of Barr:  "We investigated ourselves and found no evidence of wrongdoing!"

Not  surprising that someone who worked on the Clinton investigation and the Russian investigation would weigh in with negative thoughts.  
Barr is the AG.  If there is corruption in government - particularly  with the DOJ, it is his job to hunt it down.  
Absolutely nothing wrong with his involvement.  [/quote]
What if Barr is corrupt? Who investigates Barr?[/quote]
