A top aide to U.S. Attorney John Durham has reportedly resigned from the Justice Department’s probe into the origins of the Russia investigation amid worries over political pressure from Attorney General William Barr.
Federal prosecutor Nora Dannehy, who has worked with Durham for decades, resigned Thursday evening, sources told the Hartford Courant in a story published Friday. Her resignation email did not include mention of political pressure.

She chose politics over the rule of law.

Another "whistle blower?" I hope Barr has the pressure turned up.

After reading the article, it appears the 'concerns' are the media's entirely. No connection to her, the Justice Department, or 'sources' that went unnamed, imagine that.

More anonymous BS. No mention of pressure in her resignation but “sources” say?

Understand, our government has been under the control of the Elites since at least the end of WWI. Possibly earlier. Don't think, 'Democrat' or 'Republican'. For the life long politician and their donors, that's meaningless. Your typical Republican is merely a facade'.
What you have to do is look at their family: lawyers and politicians for generations? Going to certain schools (the ivy league)? Making statements like, "Sure we disagree but at the end of the day we're all Americans..." or 'Reaching across the aisle'?
These are signs of people who are only interested in power. They NEVER consider themselves 'Servants of the People', they RULE - at least in their own minds. We are too stupid to realize we are ruled, and the press, our churches, our schools inform us in such a way to reinforce this - except they get too arrogant, from time to time.
Those who are outsiders are subjected to temptation. They are researched thoroughly and offered access to 'desires' not easily obtainable in polite society. That's the carrot. Then evidence of their 'misadventures' is revealed to them to out them, should they ever rebel. That's the stick. Nor is that limited to the individual. Their entire families become hostages for their support of the Ruling elites.
That holds true for EVERYONE in government, elected or hired, and in their Donor's businesses. If they are lucky, it never even comes up. So what if Uncle Bob or cousin Sue or the out-of-state sibling got in trouble? If the individual is in position to help the Elite, maybe trouble can go away. or if they resist, maybe things can be made much, much worse. Remember General Flynn. Wonder about John Roberts. Consider how the many people, who made it to Washington, promising to change things, slowly fall silent, or leave.
We may talk about Trump draining the Swamp, but really, all he's been able to do, so far, is reveal it. It's up to us if we want it to go any further. If we fail, America will truly be nothing more than a sham.

“Dannehy, whom sources told the Courant is not a supporter of President Trump, was reportedly conflicted between politics and loyalty to Durham, a longtime colleague”
AG Barr may look and act disorganized, but he was organized enough to appoint Durham who in turn selected an avid Trump hater to conduct a coverup of the biggest political scandal in our history. So not only have Durham and Dennehy done nothing over the past 16 months, she quits just two months before the elections in order to undermine Trump. Clever girl. Dispicable Barr and Durham.
Barr thinks that we are as dumb as he looks. We’re not, and we fully understand that neither Barr, Durham, Wray or anyone else in the DoJ have any intention of prosecuting the coup plotters. President Trump had better watch his back.

Meaning - She retired for political benefit since she is eligible for an nice taxpayer funded retirement and will be rewarded with a well paying job with the swamp.

Not knowing any particulars this looks like she may be afraid of being implicated in something they could possibly find.

Does this mean Barr/Durham is getting close to uncovering the fallacy of the Mueller house of cards? Have threats of Arkancide reared its ugly head?

Pressure?
Like: When the hell are you going to do something?
Like that? Gee, I've been saying that for almost a year.

What to make of this? Are they actually getting close to finishing and this Anti-Trumper is trying to delay things?
