@george-k

I was just about to post that!

Cruel. Now he won't be able to afford presents for his kids.

[George K]

I really wonder about the timing.

I mean, 5 weeks more? How does that make a difference, other than to decrease his Zantac consumption?

It's a message about the administration.

@George-K

Well, the charitable interpretation is he really wants to take a break over Christmas/New Years, which is probably more or less impossible while holding that job.

For him personally there's no downside in leaving on favorable terms a month early. He may also like his #2 and appreciate the opportunity to give him the 'acting AG' title, which he can carry for the rest of his life.

Obviously there are plenty of less charitable interpretations. But absent some contrary evidence, I'll go with the above.

He knows what is coming

And doesn't want any part of it

Who can blame him?

The inquisition begins January 21st. And Mr. Barr will be a part of it, oh yes.

So ironic, his whole tenure was spent covering for Trump. Trumpsters loved him. Now, since Trump is mad that Barr couldn't find any fraud and didn't tell the world about investigating Hunter, he's a total turd ball, and the Trumpsters fall right in line. Now they despise him. Hate to be Barr right now, despised by both sides.

Larry,
Are you saying you want to kill another member of this forum, shoot them as you would a lame animal?

@george-k

Seems like a genuine resignation, but well timed.
Love your Zantac comment

He didn't say that.

But it's nice to see you following him around, like an English bulldog on a leash.

I think I’ve read every interpretation of why Barr resigned. The only thing that struck me is that literally anyone could pick their favorite reason and start the viral spread and sit back and wait and hope they got enough dopamine hits.

Barr blows:

ETA: Just a reminder, I never said that Barr was a "gentleman."
