Occam’s Razor. Since Barr is going to be out of that job very soon, he wanted to spend a peaceful holiday season with his family.

Or Barr may not be leaving, there is some evidence there. Maybe taking a break to work other ways for the president. Time will tell.

Occam would point out that the most obvious reason for Barr's resignation on any particular date is because he didn't want to be in the position after that date. Nothing more, nothing less.
