Does Avenatti scare Barr? Leaving him to be "Epsteined"? [Check those video cameras, please - I hear MCC has trouble keeping them in working condition.]

I get the sense that it’s been cat and mouse and tit for tat all along.
I’m not sure who is the mouse but there are several moves where the US/Barr appears to tag-team with pro-Russia-Ukrainian bad guys for dirty “wins” for one or both sides.
During Zelenski’s campaign Zelenski’s biggest benefactor Ihor Kolomoisky (a billionaire bad guy himself, BUT, he was also a big protagonist of Poroshenko) had his bank seized.
The US put a cherry on that Ukrainian power move against a big Zelenski supporter by announcing right around the same time our own investigation into Kolomoisky with a claim of him money laundering in the US.
In exchange for whatever Rudy was dangling, Poroshenko had no problem using his “position” to help Rudy with his plan to trash the Biden’s before the US elections.
No problem that is, until Zelenski won the election and “decided” to investigate Poroshenko and then fire him.
One of the perks of Poroshenko’s fall/Zelensky’s squeeze, was Poroshenko double crossed Rudy and took back every word he said, actually Biden and son had actually broken no laws, One would think this backpedaling must have thrown a big wrench in Rudy’s task of proving the bat shit crazy alternate story that seems to STILL be in the works.
Almost as if it were a response to that bad news for team Trump, Barr came to the rescue, declaring that Durham’s investigation into the bat shit crazy alternate story had suddenly escalated into a criminal investigation.
Funny how each side justifies their revenge filled/self serving moves (and themselves) as corruption fighting “investigations” by corruption fighting superheroes.
I see one filthy hand washing the other and now Parnas is jumping in with what may (or may not) be a fishing expedition for SDNY.
Parnas was the one who pointed out the fear people have of Barr’s power to investigate, he also added he was ready to put all his cards on the table.
That’s big talk considering with the exception of some obvious attempts to protect a chosen few it’s all been smack that names not just pro-Trumpers, but those Ukrainian dudes acting in the best interest of first themselves but then Russia and Putin.
It seems to me Parnas is either a total idiot or has somehow, been offered something, by someone, in exchange.
Protection?
Immunity from anything with legs that Barr may turn up in an “investigation”?
Perhaps Parnas caught wind of a plot bigger than what he could stop by firing Trump’s ass-h*le lawyers and this is really his only way to save himself?
I am in way over my head here, but I get the feeling that we may start learning soon that this strategy of announcing investigations of a leader’s enemies (once only popular in corrupt countries) might have cleared the testing phase and already gone far beyond “lock her up” in our country as well.
