Indeed. Still, Mr. Mitchell was prosecuted and convicted because he was deeply involved in the conspiracy itself as well as its cover-up. So far as I know, there is no indication that Mr. Barr has any comparable exposure.
I do think that Mr. Mitchell’s precedent was a factor in the decision of Mr. Sessions to recuse himself from everything related to the Mueller investigation (to the great annoyance of Mr. Trump).
