And yet it might not even have been the most outrageous thing that the country learned about President Trump yesterday.

White House aides took the unusual step of restricting access to the transcript of the phone call, in a sign they believed it was problematic. It was the same step they had taken after Trump’s July call with Ukraine’s president. The Australia call is part of the Trump administration’s attempt to shift attention away from Russia’s interference in the 2016 election, on Trump’s behalf, and instead to suggest that American intelligence agencies did something wrong by investigating Russia. Alarmingly, William Barr, the attorney general, appears to be overseeing the effort, meeting with foreign officials to ask for help. The mere fact that the Justice Department has asked for foreign help with an investigation isn’t the problem. That’s routine, as some conservatives [pointed out](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfdcVEP4QAAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm5hdGlvbmFscmV2aWV3LmNvbS9jb3JuZXIvbmV3LXlvcmstdGltZXMtc3RvcnktdHJ1bXAtYXVzdHJhbGlhbi1wcmltZS1taW5pc3Rlci1ub3QtYS1zdG9yeS8_dGU9MSZubD1kYXZpZC1sZW9uaGFyZHQmZW1jPWVkaXRfdHlfMjAxOTEwMDE_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9MzkmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTI3NTgmc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xNzQ4NCZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3JnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTJXA255dEIKACREQJNdeCRm11IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA). In this case, however, the attorney general is involving himself, personally, to an unusual degree — and he’s doing so to advance a farcical idea meant to sully American intelligence agencies, all on behalf of Trump.

One involves baselessly accusing a political rival of a crime punishable by death. The other involves sublimating American foreign policy to the president’s personal interests.
