There is far more reason to fear that an investigation of Hunter Biden by the US Attorney for Delaware would be squelched by a President Biden than there was reason to fear that an investigation of the Russia Hoax by the US Attorney for Connecticut John Durham would have been. First of all, there is already much evidence on the public record that Joe Biden himself is tied into the Hunter Biden schemes, as “the big guy” who gets a cut of the bribes disguised as investments, gifts, and director’s fees. An investigation of Hunter is an investigation of Joe.

No one of course is perfect and if there is valid criticism of President Trump it is his appointments in the Department of Justice from the hapless, weak Sessions, to appointing Christopher Wray at the FBI, to the now revealed treacherous William Fat Boy Barr. As soon as Barr heaves his vast criminal bulk out of the Department of Injustice as Attorney General, the new acting Attorney General appointed by Trump needs to enact mass arrests of all the traitors in the Federal Government starting with Wray and the entire leadership of the democrat communist party then move on to the top Washington leadership of the republican party and that scum Roberts. We are at 1 minute to midnight in the fight for our country.

I'm afraid we might have been better served by another.

There is an expression I have heard here and there, and it fits perfectly, "Small loss".
You get tired of being polite.
It's the eleventh hour, and people are out and about buying designer masks as if that will fix everything!

Actually, I agree with Barr about the special counsel- but probably for a different reason.
Why pay for an expensive Special Council, and all the foo-fraw that goes along with it, when we are already paying a bunch of prosecutors that can, and should, do the prosecuting? There is plenty of evidence of a crime and plenty of leads to follow in gathering overwhelming evidence. Only politicians are served by special counsels.
If prosecutors already on the payroll can't do it, they should be fired. We don't need a Special Counsel for every crime than some citizen commits.

That is one of the reasons he is leaving. Maybe he is just protecting himself from what he sees as inevitable.

Cliff Kincaid is doing the best work around these days, nailing Barr and the other anti-American, pro-Chi-Com miscreants bent on turning America into an irredeemable Marxist state.

If any BIDEN were to have been investigated anywhere at any time, it would have already happened. I know it. You know it. And now Barr is free to tell it. It would appear that there are a lot of people Above The Law!

Here is a rule of thumb. A conservative President should never nominate an AG or cabinet member who has bipartisan support, They have bipartisan support because they are members of the swamp.

I had high hopes for barr, but now i know.
He had lots of time with duram to indict the 2016 coup makers. He did only 1 lowley agent
He had hunter bidens laptop for a year and he did not indict him or the big one.
After all of america witnessed an overnight election steal maybe in just bad wording but maybe not he let the corrupt media use him to imply that there was no election fraud when the president needed him most to counter the corrupt media narrative.
I am convinced that the president had to tender his resignation in light of his ineffectiveness to uphold the constitution.

AG Barr doesn't have the office to make that decision any longer, and it was inappropriate and cowardly of him to announce it on his way out the door. Very disgraceful for a fatburger to direct others what to do, when he did nothing for his tenure, while lying to the public that he was doing something, and would have an announcement every quarter that was always rolled forward to the next quarter, until Trump fired Barr for disloyalty, not doing his job, and lying. Barr should be buried at the bottom of boot hill in the reprobate section.

Most of us had hopes you would step up and clean the corruption out of the DOJ. Sadly you were just another establishment placeholder who occasionally said the right things but ultimately betrayed most of us

A Special Counsel would drag out his "Investigation" until it could be dropped into obscurity after a few nobodies were prosecuted.

the article is correct in that we need now an unspecial arrest of the guilty parties and a trial for treason.

Agree with #13's question. Who is blackmailing him, ...or, perhaps the pressure is simpler. Perhaps it comes from his own family, a spouse who is tired of being left off the cocktail party list, and the children who pester and harangue him because classmates shun them or worse.
Maybe he goes to church and all the social justice religionists attack him, maybe the clergy condemn him, and/or maybe the world and the church of Rome, and all because he agreed to serve in the Administration of the most hated man in the world, and maybe in history and the whole cosmos.
And how could he stay on when he said, against all empirical evidence, that there wasn't any "significant" election fraud? How on earth could he stay on after that patently false assertion, so seemingly obvious a tip of the hat to the Democrat Party, i.e., the Left, "Not to worry, guys. Now can you back off? my kids are applying for jobs in those big DC law firms"?

Lifson's biggest fear is that Barr recognizes the China corruption is too deep to correct. Really?
Barr shoulda thought of that before he told us the President was spied on and that it was unprecedented. And then made no one pay a price.
Shoulda thought of that before he assured us the Meuller investigation had no predicate, then dumped that accusation into the ocean 20 miles from shore like a freaken maffia councilgiari.
Shoulda thought of that before he snapped at Wolfie stating that dems were playing with fire, entrusting our ballots to the junk mail industry, then refused to smell the acrid smoke streaming out of usps trucks and food vans hauling ballots across state lines.
All he did was slop paint on a rotting edifice. Then get out before the structure collapsed.

Barr was a Deep State plant from day one, we can now see. A traitor, just like Comey, Brennan, Strzok, Clapper and the rest of them.
