PS. Does anyone else see a problem with the AG taking criticism about his investigation from an extremely left leaning platform as troubling?

This is a BIG ******* issue.
Barr said, “Of course. As I said during my confirmation, I came in to serve as attorney general. I am responsible for everything that happens in the department, but the thing I have most responsibilities for are the issues that are brought to me for decision. And I will make those decisions based on what I think is the right thing to do. I’m not going to be bullied or influenced by anybody, and I said whether it’s Congress, newspaper editorial boards or the president. I’m going to do what I think is right. And you know I think the —I cannot do my job at the department with a constant background commentary that undercuts me. ”

Seems he went on to say he will not be influenced by anyone.

The platform is very well known for the censorship of rightwing and promotion of leftwing ideology. I'm not talking far/alt right ideology. I am asking if anyone else has a problem with the guy changing his job performance based of such a heavily bias platform.

His actions regarding the investigation and statements to the public about it should not change what so ever because of optics of partisanship.

I've been applauded as a leader but I think there is a lot of room for improvement. So I question my leadership. The game seems broken to me..

A good leader should question themselves. The game has always been broken. We need to learn the rules to know which ones can be bent.
I do not think you are "not intelligent enough to explain the issue;" I think you have a feeling that things are not right.
But you have not spent the time to bring a logical explanation of the why you feel this way. The recognition of something being wrong is easy.
The explanation of why it's wrong is much more difficult, at least so I have found with my own time in leadership.
PS. Don't post for stars. That is the worst way to communicate ideas. You are selling out for group-think.
Trust yourself to have valid ideas. Sometimes they will not be popular, sometimes they will.
