Why is it unclear?[AG William Barr cracked wise] during his remarks at a farewell ceremony for Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein at the Justice Department. Turning to his outgoing No. 2 official, Barr said, "You like records. This must be a record of attorney general being proposed for contempt within 100 days of taking office.”
The comment drew laughs from the audience.

The ceremony served as a lighthearted cap to a tumultuous year for Rosenstein, who as deputy attorney general was responsible for overseeing special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian election interference.

Rosenstein, who had been expected to leave the administration for several months, formally notified Trump in an April letter that he was resigning.
Barr's quip comes a day after the House Judiciary Committee voted along party lines to hold him in contempt for failing to comply with a subpoena to deliver Mueller's full unredacted report and related documents.
While it's unclear if the contempt vote will proceed to the House floor, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has expressed support for the move.
The Hill
Above the law administration.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
