As I understand it, the AG swears an oath like this:

Seems to me the Attorney General is obliged to support and defend the Constitution.  The oath does not say he is to be loyal to the president no matter what.
That is correct.  He must defend the Constitution.

What we are talking about is the usage of the word 'lackey' which is a servant.

Barr is no servant.  But the one who calls the shots as per the Constitution is the President.  Barr must obey the President as long as it does not violate his oath of office.

    IMHO, Jeff Sessions was once considered the most prominent Conservative in the US Senate.  He was the first Senator to endorse Trump and paid a heavy price.  He was right to recuse himself from the Russian $hit, he was a member of the Armed Services Committee and meeting with them all the time and knew about the Trump Tower meeting CF.
   It's up to the voters of Alabama and I trust them to make the right decision, especially if Trump/Mitche's RNCC stay out ot it.

LOL! Well... ceding to your authority on the matter... but in my experience, the one happens before the other.
