Here is why Bill Barr’s lawsuit against John Bolton may only have an 'audience of one': Law professor

On Tuesday, the Department of Justice filed a civil suit against President Donald Trump's former National Security Adviser John Bolton over the publication of his tell-all book alleging misconduct in the administration.

In a lengthy Twitter thread, law professor Rick Hasen explained why the lawsuit is likely just for show, to put Trump's mind at ease, rather than to actually block the book or win any sort of legal relief.
