This implies that they are opposed to the orders they are getting from Barr's office. Remember that US Attorneys work for the DOJ.

The judge has not recused herself, either.

These attorneys are resigning in protest because they see that Trump and Barr are seriously interfering with justice.

Respectfully, it's pretty obvious how Trump is playing this.
