No, I believe this is his way of dismissing her reason for resigning, and an attempt to stop others.

Dannehy joins Justice honor roll by resigning from politicized Durham FBI Russia probe

Career lawyers should protest or resign like Dannehy to flag partisan misuse of the Justice Department in the election, our core democratic moment.

It wasn't put well.

In terms of general principles, I think he meant the AG has to make some judgements which are above the pay grade of individual prosecutors.

Don't know the job, but put that way, it doesn't sound dangerous... in principle. Even if, for practical purposes, Barr's own moves are clearly partisan.

On the other side of the coin, there are some excessively aggressive prosecutors, who think US law extends further than it does overseas.
