Ukraine has, according to Guiliani, been trying for years to get information to the FBI/DoJ concerning corruption in their country. Until now, they have been refused. So even with the caution statement, Barr is still being more receptive than his predecessors.
Also, consider this: The DoJ does not talk about upcoming cases. Period.
Now, just imagine what would happen if Barr announced anything more than his caution statement concerning Guilliani.... If I were Barr, I'd be publlcly downplaying things too... there's already talk of impeaching him.
Or, we can believe that four talented, tenured lawyers making big bucks just quit their jobs solely because the guy they successfully got convicted might... might get 2 years instead of nine...

Yep
Why has Hillary not been indicted? Comey? Strzok? Page? Obummer? They’ve had plenty of time to build a case.

Hey Barr, if you read this, email me. Ill give you an open and shut case Brennan lied to congress in about ten minutes, you can start there.
But if he is someone really interested in outing corruption, he should appreciate people like me, and Trump, that are publicly calling out this corruption, and explain to the American people why public congressional liars like brennan are allowed to walk free years after their lies.
Or maybe he should just shut up and do his job
Former National Intelligence Director James Clapper is about celebrate one of the most important anniversaries of his life. March 13th will be the fifth anniversary of his commission of open perjury before the Senate Intelligence Committee. More importantly, it also happens to be when the statute of limitations runs out — closing any possibility of prosecution for Clapper
...
Clapper appeared before the Senate to discuss surveillance programs in the midst of a controversy over warrantless surveillance of the American public. He was asked directly, “Does the NSA collect any type of data at all on millions, or hundreds of millions of Americans?” There was no ambiguity or confusion and Clapper responded, “No, sir. … Not wittingly.” That was a lie and Clapper knew it when he said it.
Later, Clapper said that his testimony was “the least untruthful” statement he could make. That would still make it a lie of course but Clapper is a made guy
When asked directly whether he had ever discussed the dossier with any journalists, Clapper replied that he had not, according to a transcript of the proceedings:
MR. ROONEY: Did you discuss the dossier or any other intelligence related to Russia hacking of the 2016 election with journalists?
MR. CLAPPER: No.
The former DNI later changed his story after he was confronted specifically about his communications with Jake Tapper of CNN.
“Clapper subsequently acknowledged discussing the ‘dossier with CNN journalist Jake Tapper,’ and admitted that he might have spoken with other journalists about the same topic,” the report continued
The White House says President Trump isn't "bothered" or deterred after Attorney General Bill Barrtold ABC News on Thursday that the president's tweets "make it impossible for me to do my job," in an unusual swipe at the president -- although Barr emphasized that Trump "has never asked me to do anything in a criminal case."
Huh? You cite "critical" yet your post demostrates none.

So it's Barr under the bus...lol
One would almost get the impression that being critical of the great leader isn"t smart.
Peace
So, source and cite where Trump has disagreed with this?

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said President Trump should follow Attorney General William Barr's advice after the top Justice Department official said the president's tweeting was making it "impossible" to do his job.
The Hill
Peace
“The President has never asked me to do anything in a criminal case.” A.G. Barr This doesn’t mean that I do not have, as President, the legal right to do so, I do, but I have so far chosen not to!
I get where you're coming from, but as much as it pisses us off, that wasn't under Barrs watch and I seriously doubt "they" will ever see anything come of it.

Yes I watched the whole interview
I also saw all many of trumps republican allies in the senate take this to mean trump needs to stop tweeting about cases
Saw a lot of ats and q type people say the same
You ask for proof this is anything the the following post
Why won’t one person who thinks barr is the man and it’s was cool for him to suggest trump not tweet about cases show me even one shred of proof he is charging any of the criminals?
Why is clapper a free man?
