It wasn’t just left to Barr, but with Rosenstein’s backing in coordination with the evidence...Barr and Mueller did speak in the review of investigation as well when it was over. Mueller could have suggested for a prosecution but from the investigation there was clearly too much to exonerate versus obstruction. While the some of the behavior of President was not cool, it was not criminal. To say there is crime, that’s simply false.
Also, the president did cooperate with the investigation...including Don McGahn to testify.
