The timing of this couldn’t be more perfect. The one week a year where Trump is constantly engaged face to face with foreign leaders from around the world, and he has to deal with people who he knows were talking behind his back, and will resume talking behind his back when he leaves the room about this embarrassing and potentially administration ending scandal. For a man who cares so much about keeping up appearances and looking strong, he is having the worst week of his presidency unfold while playing host to the world’s leaders.

As a guy who has always wanted to fit in among high society and finally forced his way into the club, there are probably few things Trump hates more than being shamed in front of the kinds of people he so desperately wanted to impress.

Yep, hoping HARD that all of the rest of his poo poo dealings can come out into the open to be laughed at and pointed at and be extremely legislated against.

Bolton does absolutely seem like the kind of guy who would find himself in a wildly corrupt administration and instantly start documenting to cover his own rear end. Still probably only as likely as one of the top DNI people being the whistleblower

It defies belief that Barr would have any influence as to actions resulting from this complaint. He is included in multiple passages in said complaint, at the very least it warrants considering a recusal from all matters related to it even just for the appearance of bias.

It literally says in US Code "The Attorney General shall promulgate rules and regulations which require the disqualification of any officer or employee of the Department of Justice, including a United States attorney or a member of such attorney’s staff, from participation in a particular investigation or prosecution if such participation may result in a personal, financial, or political conflict of interest, or the appearance thereof. Such rules and regulations may provide that a willful violation of any provision thereof shall result in removal from office."

Barr is a recusal refusal machine. He has never and will never recuse himself in anything because he’s a hack whose only mission was to protect Trump.

More that it would expose highly sensitive information that shouldn't be publicly known. Democrats have said some parts would be legitimately redacted for national security interests.

Speaking of "setting precedents", this guy is doing legitimate damage to the country's democratic norms and processes. Drawing a contrast between Barr and the Saturday Night Massacre, or even just Jeff Sessions, is astonishing.

He is stated outright in the body of the call and presumably the complaint, however. Wouldn't that be sufficient to project "an appearance of bias"?
