Attorney General William Barr will depart the Trump administration before Christmas, President Donald Trump said Monday.
The widely anticipated departure of Barr, the head of the Department of Justice, came just moments after President-elect Joe Biden’s victory over Trump was formalized by the Electoral College.
Barr in early December directly contradicted Trump when he revealed that the Department of Justice had not found any evidence of large-scale voter or election fraud that would overturn President-elect Joe Biden’s projected victory.

And we thought Jeff Sessions was a disappointment...Barr just doubled-down on Sessions' cowardice.

Well, the first thing he's done that honestly can be labelled 'effective. Should have been months ago, at least.

When the history of the Trump administration is written, Barr will be the biggest dud - a bigger dud than Sessions, who I thought was unbeatable.

He's resigning because his job of covering for the deep state is over. He successful sabotaged the Trump reelection.

Guys, it sure feels like something really B-I-G is brewing behind the scenes. I am still standing for a miracle so it could just be emotions working overtime. Yet, everything today suddenly feels odd...

What a shame. AG Barr decided to punt same as Sessions did when he sold us out on Spygate. This time, AG Barr chooses to ignore the election fraud of the century, same as the SCOTUS did last Friday. Everybody is looking for a rock to get under. The swamp is winning...for now. Watch how the uniparty now starts to form.

Not to worry. John Durham is expanding his operation and is making "excellent progress". I'm really confident now.

What makes it all worse to me is I just had to listen to Mark Levin say what a class act the guy is. He may have lost me.

We're a nation of laws, and the dems have shown how unimportant is to follow them, so that's what conservatives need to do.

Honestly, I think the Barr haters will be surprised when Durham arrests some "bigs" in our government. He did what he had to do for the rule of law. The laws are more important than the candidates.

Trump needs to appoint an Acting AG he can trust. Then that AG should quickly review Durham's work, and replace him, and speed him up. The scope should be expanded beyond Crossfire Hurricane. The corruption in the Obama regime goes 100x beyond that. Then, a Special Prosecutor should be appointed for the election, and another one to investigate the Biden's.

Expected. Thank you for your service president Trump.
All you weak azzes down the line had better get ready for an even worse (could it be) Carter administration.

Biden will name an AG and his first action will be to 'fire' Durham' in the interest of 'unity'.

If the Bidens had been Republicans, the story would have been front and center for months. Thanks for nothing, Bill. Good help is so hard to find in Washington. Barr was useless as AG.

We had such hopes for Barr, but in the final analysis it's well nigh impossible for a crocodilian to clean out a swamp. God bless PDJT and God bless the USA, if it still exists. Just in case, I'm going to plant some bananas in my back yard. Like the legendary pre-phylloxera 1870 Bordeaux vintage--reputed to be the finest ever--2020 is the best ever growing season for bananas. Load up on potassium. If Biden has his way, that's all you'll ever load up on after his EOs.

The fat lump of wormy mutton could have sat there and collected a paycheck for the next couple of years if he had only kept his mouth shut. Rule 1 in a hierarchy: The boss is always right. Rule 2: If you maintain doubts, see Rule 1.

A successful conclusion to Crossfire Hurricane would have landed Barry Obama, Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice and a few others in prison and put the fear of God into the rest of them. Seeing nobody get even a hand slapping in four years enabled Biden and the Ho to beat the system one more time. That is on Sessions, Durham and Barr. Four years of nothing.

We're all speculating as to what is really going on, but to claim that there is no evidence of pervasive and election-changing fraud is to defy reality, ignore documentary and video evidence, witness testimony, and intentionally cover up corruption on a scale more massive than anything in American history..
In the case of the so-called "conservatives," it has to be all of the above, and it can't just be Chinese connections.

Will anyone notice?
Having done what he came to do, he slithers back into wealth and insignificance. He had no intention of serving anyone but himself.

He might as well resign he didn't do anything while he was in office but sign his paycheck.

The election fraud was hard to find, only because you refused to look for it!
I had such high hopes for Barr. I have a small part of me that still kind of expects something might happen to redeem his reputation, but it seems pretty unlikely right now. So many promises, with zip to show for it. And to hide the Hunter investigation during the campaign without even telling Pres. Trump - that was inexcusable! Bye.

Barr is like Donald Trump; he didn't need the job, the money nor the headache. Trump did it for US, to improve our economy and our lives if even for a small while.

Trump should fire him TODAY and put someone in the spot who will try to get SOMETHING done in these last few days.
