    @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?

        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.

                          Seems like a genuine resignation, but well timed.

                            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.

                                      I knew you were a sissy, but I didn't know until this moment that you are retarded too.

                                        I really wonder about the timing.

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

                                        Perhaps he had enough of a petulant septuagenarian's daily hourly temper tantrums?

                                          Maybe he in fact did not want to be bothered with all this through Christmas. He knew what he was getting into when he took the position, and I think he did an admirable job. But at some point the game is over and its time to go home.
