William Barr tells people he might quit over Trump tweets

[EndlessWire]

64. Another thing to consider

We all know that people in his administration don't last all that long. Trump has some psychological need to pick fights that he can win. So, he often fires people after just a short while.

It looks very bad when four prosecutors quit all at once (almost.) It looks bad when 1100 former government attorneys take the time to pen a damning letter against both Trump AND Barr. Now, attorneys are beginning to demand Barr's resignation. They don't like the interference and they don't like a federal judge being negatively tweeted about and pressured. And, I think that Barr setting up a private, direct route for Giuliani to report to Barr himself looks very, very bad, especially when the talk is that Giuliani is in even more trouble.

So, now it seems that Barr isn't just defending Trump, but Barr is having to at least notice that legal professionals are now calling him out to resign. It appears that Trump and Barr are at odds in some way, and I think that all this recent pressure is really troubling Barr. That's not to say that I disagree with those that say that Barr will never quit. He strikes me as a lowly guy who suddenly rose to immense power, and won't give it up.

But, I think that Barr is in jeopardy of being FIRED by Trump, for some perception by the mentally ill Trump that Barr has failed (and also because, you know, it's time to kick one of Trump's friends to the curb.) Barr may be setting up an outside excuse for not being able to do whatever Trump wants him to do, so when he gets fired, it will not look like he did something wrong, but just a result of a nut job in the WH. I think this is a preemptive defensive strike. Especially when the public would like to see Barr impeached by the House. Bet he didn't count on that, ever.
