WaPo: Barr has told those close to Trump he is considering quitting if the president keeps tweeting

24. It's very possible ...

... that Barr means it - not because he's being hindered from doing his job, but because what he IS doing is being broadcast to the nation via Trump's tweets.

There are some Republicans who are smart enough to read the writing on the wall, and know that they'll be out of a job next January when Trump is gone. Some of them are also smart enough to realize that the incoming Democratic president and his administration will be gunning for the corrupt criminals who enabled the Dotard's actions and broke the law in doing so.

Barr knows that there will be investigations into his behaviour as AG, and he doesn't want to be caught up in the scrutiny such investigations will entail.

His only possible salvation is to get out now, and later claim that he resigned when he "finally realized" that what Trump was doing was "potentially illegal", and his conscience wouldn't allow him to continue in his position.

It's becoming the only way out for these people - "I was out of the loop, had no knowledge of what was really going on - but once I realized it, I quit."
