NBC just reported that Barr is playing his resignation like he's still got some principles and integrity...
but in reality he decided to quit after Trump tweeted mean things about him over the weekend.
Because he's a RWNJ snowflake with hurt feelings so he quit in a snit.
But Kissing ass all the way out.
Say it with me: Fuck that guy.

(3,404 posts)He is a fixer, a high profile cleanup guy for political criminals. not only for this idiotic president but for the First Bush administration too.
He cares less about what the media says about him, he made it clear in his confirmation hearing that he wasnt there to make friends .
He had the ability to turn this election on head, he could have announce the Hunter Biden investigation during the election instead of waiting until last week. He could have enhanced Durhams investigation into the Obama spy gate theory, and could have forced major investigations into voter fraud conspiracies, and he could have fabricated proof of none were found and presented it to prosecutors and courts.
Barr backed away for some reason. Either Trump Stiffed him on payment, or he didnt want any part of something that we have yet to see.

(22,037 posts)It wouldn't be surprising if Trump commanded Barr to take some action that Barr knew was illegal. Barr isn't going to prison for Trump!
Also, Trump's presidency is all but over. Barr has accomplished the goals he set for himself.
Time to move on. Why stick around for the inevitable shit-show?
Barr isn't going to prison for Trump!

He hates him.

(3,501 posts)Barr will bend rules and he will play dirty to advance his right-wing/GOP agenda
Barr will not outright break rules or tell blatant lies
After Trump lost, he went off the deeper end and started asking Barr to blatantly break rules and tell outright lies
Barr is more than willing to deceive but he lives with himself by saying he will never "lie"
PJMcK
(22,037 posts)Barr's resignation isn't about lying for Trump. Lies are meaningless today.
He resigned because Trump demanded that he break laws to advance Trump's nefarious plot.
Barr isn't stupid enough to put his own neck in a noose. So he quit.
That's what I think, anyway.

(3,404 posts)He doesnt mind telling falsehoods he had no problem lying about the muller report and still has not provided un- redacted copies to congress, whom he has also lied to, but he will avoid perjury, and will not be backed into a legal corner.
Ther is got to be something bigger that he is avoiding, perhaps the pardons for profit that we will soon see more of, or maybe it has something to do with the Pentagon Purge.

(14,909 posts)From The New Yorker:
...When Barr was an undergraduate, at Columbia, his classmates marched against the war in Vietnam. Barr wanted instead to buttress American power. He had told a guidance counsellor that he hoped one day to lead the C.I.A., and, during breaks from school, he spent two summers as an intern there. In 1973, he finished a masters degree in Government and Chinese Studies and returned to the C.I.A. as an intelligence analyst. At the time, a Senate investigationknown as the Church Committeewas uncovering decades of abuses at the C.I.A., and laws were being passed to curtail them. Barr later recalled the effort as a kind of assault, delivering body blows to the agency....

Background to the Barr backstory:

From there, Epstein would meet many people with heads for numbers and other things.

The Ghost of Roy Cohn
BY TERRY MELANSON · AUGUST 24, 2014
EXCERPT...
In an interview with former NYPD detective James Rothstein, this author discovered that such operations do exist and go far back into Americas secret history. Rothstein is no conspiracy theorist. He is a legend in American law enforcement and speaks from experience. Furthermore, he gave me two notable examples from his time as a detective. Rothstein had an opportunity to have a sit-down with infamous McCarthy committee counsel Roy Cohn. During this sit-down, Cohn admitted to Rothstein that he was part of a rather elaborate sexual blackmail operation that compromised politicians with child prostitutes (Rothstein, no pagination). Cohn told Rothstein that this operation was being carried out as part of the anticommunist crusade of the time (no pagination).
Rothstein also had an opportunity to speak to infamous Watergate burglar Frank Sturgis. During this conversation, Sturgis revealed one of the reasons for breaking into the Watergate. According to Sturgis, there was a Pedophile Book hidden away at the Democratic National Committee headquarters (no pagination). The book was supposed to have a list of pedophiles on the American political scene (no pagination). One can only imagine the power G. Gordon Liddy would have held over the government if he had such a book in his possession.
I asked Rothstein if Roy Cohn was a real anticommunist or just using the fear of communism to justify his sex ring. It seemed like a fair question. After all, Cohn had argued against homosexuals being schoolteachers when he himself was a homosexual. Perhaps Cohns hypocrisy extended to his anticommunism. Rothstein made it clear that Cohn was a genuine anticommunist (no pagination). Anticommunist sentiments aside, evidence suggests that the sex ring operation started by Cohn was used for more than fighting the threat of domestic communists. Fugitive ex-CIA officer Frank Terpil has claimed that sexual blackmailing operations directed by the CIA were intensive in Washington during the Watergate era (DeCamp 179). Terpil also asserts that his former partner, Ed Wilson, was coordinating one of these sexual blackmail operations (179). In a letter to author Jim Hougan, Terpil revealed Wilsons modus operandi:
Historically, one of Wilsons Agency jobs was to subvert members of both houses [of Congress] by any means necessary . Certain people could be easily coerced by living out their sexual fantasies in the flesh . A remembrance of these occasions [was] permanently recorded via selected cameras . The technicians in charge of filming were TSD [Technical Services Division of the CIA]. The unwitting porno stars advanced in their political careers, some of [whom] may still be in office. (Qtd. in DeCamp 179)
According to John DeCamp, a former Nebraska Senator and Vietnam War hero, Wilsons operation was merely a continuation of the one set up by Cohn (179). When I asked James Rothstein if Palfreys outfit was a continuation of the sexual blackmail rings that began with Cohn, he answered in the affirmative (Rothstein, pagination). The NYPD veteran made it clear that Palfreys outfit could not exist in Washington unless it was a tool for the power elite and sinister factions of the intelligence community (no pagination). Somewhere in a Queens cemetery, the corpse of a high-powered attorney is smiling in his grave.
