On the surface I agree with you but lets play what if. What if the basis of the story is true that Barr did share that info with his coworkers and what if Barr was lying when he said it. Could this be a Trap? Sure smells like a trap to me.  Or what if Barr is telling the truth of a much more sinister plot. ( Have we not been told this is bigger then we think it is.) What happen when a foreign ally gives the US Gov serious information about active spies in our nation, be it true or disinformation from a ally bent on betraying the USA? We better investigate, right? This whole line of thought seems like 5D chess to me. let me just say that seeing Prince Andrew thrown under the bus is small potatoes compared to seeing that type of betrayal exposed. Either way ask yourself, what happens when press rumors break that the truth is just a few days away? What happens when people panic? They run toward safety without looking for traps. Plot twist? Time will tell.
