because he knew, or at least hoped, that the media would take his talking points as true before anybody had a chance to read the report. He probably assumed correctly that the MAGAts wouldn't read it and would just swallow FOX's spin. And he's really pitching his statements to an audience of one, not wanting to get the Sessions treatment. Just like so many others, Barr eventually leave Trump's administration covered in Trump's shit, which he will never be able to wash off - he'll carry that stank on him for the rest of his life.
