Bill 'Kingpin' Barr appointed John Durham to look into the oranges (aka 'origins,' to anybody not doped up on Adderall) of the Mueller investigation. In other words, a POLITICAL RETRIBUTION investigation. (Shoot at the King and miss, you get the Trump revenge treatment.). The idea was for Durham to find some people to PUNISH for the Russia Investigation, to satisfy Trump's lust for vengeance, and he did that. Durham nailed a couple of minor scalps to Trump's office door, from people who back dated a document here or there. But that was about it. No sweaty Trump fantasies of Comey, McCabe, and Strzok wearing pink underwear and leg shackles in a Joe Arpaio forced-labor camp.
So, why is Durham resigning at the end of the month? My personal guess is that he's completed his ORANGES investigation, found that NOTHING IMPROPER happened, and just doesn't want to be the one to have to SAY SO in PUBLIC. Thus becoming the next subject of Trump's ire, target of Trump's base...BRIAN KEMP style.. (Why spend a small fortune erasing your address from Google Earth, installing a new security system in your house, and hiring rent-a-cop's to guard your kids on the way to school when you could simply resign. Put the Captain's hat onto the first officer of the Titanic, and then piss off to the life boats.
Anyone have any other theories?

Doubt it's any more complex.
Though I'm sure over in The Qingnut Stick-Boy Fantasy World, he's quitting cause the Deep State Axis of Soros/Fauci/Climate Scientists/Gates/Clinton/Rothchild/Illuminati are threatening to set his house on fire with their space lasers and eat all his babies.
