1. May not want to own a piece of the problem from Trump

declaring martial law and getting some people killed.

2. Wonder if Barr is a book deal kind of guy.

5. Oh, yes. I am certain that he is angling for a book deal.

The actual book won’t tell us anything that we don’t already know, but it will enrich Barr and its publisher.

3. Barr wanted his own pardon.

He bailed when it became clear that he wasn’t going to get it.

4. BS. Barr recommended that GHWB pardon the Iran Contra figures the minute GHWB's name came up.

He has no integrity. Trumpy fired him, but allowed him to pretend it was a resignation.

6. Trump fires by tweet

He doesn't fire anyone himself. Barr is dirty.

8. As the joke goes

There are some things even a pig won’t do.

7. Barr Wanted OUT.. that's for sure.. you

don't say there's "No Election Fraud" in that admin and expect to stay around. See former cyber security chief Chris Krebs.
