Barr resigned because Trump is going to have the AG

[edhopper]

do some nasty shit before he is done.
Now I don't think Barr resigned because he is opposed to what Trump will do.
I think he just wants to keep his hands clean so he will get a lucrative gig on his way out.
I am expecting a scorched Earth, Nero decree level of evil.

6. Do you want to ruin my love of Christmas Story?

[sandensea]

8. Or Jabba-the-Hutt

If Trump doesn't beat him to it.

[sandensea]

17. Thanks!

Here's hoping someone makes a good movie about the Cheeto years - and not overly sanitized, as Oliver Stone's W was.

2. What do you think #Traitor is going to do that Barr would have a problem with?

Barr's executing people at record speed, bringing back firing squads, he's helped "King" the traitor with unprecedented powers. He's stood by as Stone, Arpaio, Flynn have been pardoned. He coordinated the teargassing/clearing of Washington Park for the repulsive church photo-op.

What do you think is going to happen that's a bridge too far?

[Captain Zero]

10. Some kind of martial law decree?

Although Barr would do that if he could get away with it and be Herman Goering.

22. What Does The AG Have To Do With That?

A POTUS does not need the AG to do that. Now, normal, sane presidents want their cabinet members on board with big decisions, BEFORE they are acted upon.
But, Barr wouldn't be required.
I think the Federalists & the Dominionists are done with PIRV, so Barr got out so he can stay solid with them.
Barr doesn't care about the rubes. The resignation letter was just his way of not burning the house down, because after all, it is Bill Barr we're talking about. No honor, no scruples.

3. Barr asked Chump for a pardon, and he's not getting one

We have to fill in the blanks for now, the rest will come out after we get an honest AG and Department of Justice.

9. I think Barr observed the pardon for bribe market that is going to expkode

After Georgia election and didn't want to get dragged into it.

[SWBTATTReg]

4. The law still works the same regardless of Barr or whoever else...

in any event, Barr is getting out to save his reputation (what little he has)...trump has lost all faith by his followers...by the time trump gets set up w/ any new replacements (for Barr, etc.) it'll be too late, even worse legal advice that he's rec'd over fighting the stupid at least 60+ lawsuits lost already fighting election results.

Any other person that would take Barr's place would have a difficult time in proceeding with anything nefarious that was in such a short time frame properly and legally prepared. In what, 40+ days? IMHO.

I understand that in every election that folks get upset, that votes etc. were counted, discounted, etc. every which way one can think of, so the extreme vetting of election vetting now that we're going through now, re-verify, re-verify, etc. whatever, voter counts, etc., it's just gives us more support for our results, for our win.

5. Trump fired Barr..the letter is just a cover...

Barr is only 70, so I guess he didn't want to be "fired". Maybe it would ruin his chance of getting a job a Liberty Univ?

Yesterday, Barr said he would not resign unless Trump planned to fire him.

[Poiuyt]

7. Exactly

[RANDYWILDMAN]

13. Doubt Barr can get clean...nobody is sharing holy water

with someone who is that dirty. He and trump have hugged and high fived and he has dome some serious dirty shizz in the name of the GOP!

[Hermit-The-Prog]

14. trumPutin fired Barr for not announcing an investigation of Hunter before the election.

[mtnsnake]

25. Without a doubt

[jmg257]

15. Sure he will they will use his 2018 EO and the Antrim county report

To justify a national audit of dominion machines...milking claims of fraud

[PatrickforO]

18. Well, you've never been one to be too cheerful.

I'm fervently hoping you are wrong. I really am.

Somehow I do not think so.

19. George W Bush alumni, also past Kirkland and Ellis, recommended by Barr

Rosen, who Trump said was an “outstanding person,” raised eyebrows when he was nominated in February 2019. A veteran of the Department of Transportation in the George W. Bush and Trump administrations, he had no experience in the Justice department or as a prosecutor. Yet Trump nominated Rosen reportedly at Barr’s behest.

In addition, he previously served as an adjunct professor at Georgetown University Law Center, where he taught Professional Responsibility and Legal Ethics.

20. Such a decadent party..Full of hate and revenge.

They've got a ways to go to beat what bush and cheney left

on Obamas post election door steps....

[Kaleva]

23. If so, you must have detailed plans in place on how to deal with that. What are they?

[ecstatic]

24. Here's his plan: arrest Hunter biden, then wait for all the fallout

and high-pitched shrieks from Democrats about not arresting political opponents and their children. He'll let the outrage go on for the final two weeks of his presidency, and then he'll pardon Hunter (and himself) with a fake, reality show speech about unity.

tRump's expectation is that Democrats will be held to the same standard with regard to him and his children.
