If you guys were consistent in the things you say you care about, I'd take your criticisms more seriously.

How do Republicans explain the DOJ, headed up by Barr who is supposed to be totally non-partisan, is advising White House aides to ignore subpoenas to testify about Trump's "perfect" call?

Here's one for ya. 
If Barr is sooo partisan, why did Barr continue to allow the 2nd circus (Manhattan, under Barr's purview) to proceed unimpeded (by Barr) & allow/not interfere with their latest farce?

You know, of course, the 2nd circuit is under DOJ (Barr) jurisdiction.

IOW, Barr could have shut down this  "Trump's taxes" question,  with a stroke of his pen.  He didn't.  Can you explain why, as you imply Barr is a total partisan? 

I mean for the most transparent administration in history, why wouldn't you want everyone to testify about what a perfect call Trump made?

You'll surely  laugh, but TRUMP NEVER CLAIMED EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE DURING THE MUELLER INVESTIGATION. Not once. 
BJ Clinton invoked Executive Privilege 14 times during the Starr Investigation.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_privilege
apples = apples


NOW, Trump is proclaiming EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE vs  Schiff/Pelosi's subpoenas?  
Damn right, and twice on Sundays.  A special counsel is different from a co-equal branch of govt abusing its power.  

And this is no small matter, Trump is 'protecting'.  The 'separation of powers' doctrine is the most distinguishing characteristic in our representative republic. 

"Separation of Powers"...., and it's importance...explained by Antonin Scalia. 

Q:  "What do you think is the reason America is such a free country?"
A:  "The Bill of Rights".  No.  "The separation of powers."

Fantastic.  Scalia was brilliant.

Barr is not partisan? OK. Barr cannot shut down the court because even he knows that will be the end of him. Using that as a reason to show is non partisanship is really stretching it.
Case in point...
Trump knew he could and had the power to fire Sessions. He did not do it because he knew the fallout would be massive . He got him to resign. Does that mean Trump can't fire Sessions? Nope.
