Bill Barr lost Trump when he did not come thru with "Obamagate"

For years, Trump and his supporters were anticipating convictions of Obama and others for "spying" on his campaign. Their hopes were high.

Then a month or so before the election, Barr announces that there is no evidence to pursue Obama any further. US Attorney John Durham had found nothing. Trump supporters were deflated.

Today, Barr announces that he is "considering" leaving the Administration. Trump is likely "considering" firing him? They are playing the usual Trump game, "No, I wasn't fired, I quit".

But, if Barr wants to resign, he had better do it quickly.

To most Americans, it doesn't matter when he leaves. Good riddance!

His reputation is trash. He probably won't do anything too disgusting, because he wants to pretend that he's virtuous, as he goes out the door. He'll have a nice gov pension, and may even get some RW clients to represent. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
