A smarter rat than some of the others, to jump the sinking ship before those who remain.

We don’t know if he was pushed out or if he resigned on his own. Trump doesn’t tolerate any disloyalty.

Just a month left so no real sweat off his back.

I think maybe he has some regrets associating himself with Trump. I have to say with all of the crappy horrible things Trump has done, I am still stunned at how he has been willing to cast doubt on the validity of the election. I don’t mind asking for a recount if it was valid, but what he said about our election officials and process I just can’t even…

Maybe it was even too much for Barr.

He didn’t resign.

And you could see this coming. He was a shithead when he took the job, and Trump made him more of a shithead. Or maybe I should say, Trump brought out the worst in him

Good riddance to rotten rubbish.

He resigned as much as Epstein committed suicide.
Anyway, good riddance.

He resigned after stating that the Election results were valid and after talking with Trump
( probably going to be fired?)
Notice that Trump is quickly getting rid of those that could do him harm ( tell all book maybe).
Either way watch for a numerous number of Tell all books in 2021.

No explanation as to why he couldn’t keep his job and yet spend time with his family? Trump’s greatest legacy turns out to be that his single term was without a doubt unsurpassed as the graveyard for the reputations of previously respected and admired Republican notables. This is particularly so for the piddling numbers of Republicans previously admired for their intellectual heft. Those who recognized Trump for what he was (and what it says about those who would tolerate him) left immediately in disgust. When it became apparent that Trump was to be the nominee, George Will fled the Republican camp like it was on fire. Those who stuck around on the chance that the leopard might “change it spots”, have or will (like the fool himself) receive the reward they deserve.
