Barr is out

Announced immediately after the Electoral College round up.

Did he really resign or did I-1 do another fake “you’re fired” shtick?

Noticed this was released just when the Electorial confirmation was being released.

Hmmm....

Tell me that wasn't planned...

Is there anything in particular that Trump hopes to achieve with Rosen stepping in as acting AG?

If T's goal was to put a stick in Barr's eye, you'd think his approach would have been less congratulatory.

I heard Barr referred to as “the master of the clean getaway”. I wonder if he might not want to get his hands any dirtier in these last few weeks of Trump’s term. Dodgy pardons and more election nonsense.

He certainly did lay on the schmoozy charm in that letter. The boss likes that.

Never liked that guy. Glad he’s gone but pretty sure he’ll be back.
