Bill Barr started his term as President Trump’s second attorney general maligned by the left and is ending it under attack from both sides. But the man is a class act who has consistently done the nation great service.
Barr announced his resignation, with a departure date of Dec. 23, in a classy letter to the president.
Barr has done all he can to ensure those who abused their power to harm first candidate and then President Trump will be held accountable. In October, he made John Durham, the former US attorney he’d tasked with investigating the origins of the FBI “Russiagate” probe, a special counsel.
And it turns out he took great pains to avoid any potential Justice Department interference in the 2020 race. The Wall Street Journal reports, “Barr took more steps than previously reported” to “prevent word of investigations into Hunter Biden from becoming public.” Trump is angry that Barr kept the probe into Hunter’s shady overseas dealings quiet.
Trump also resents Barr’s refusal to support claims of major abuses that supposedly stole the election. FBI agents and US attorneys looked at many complaints, Barr said, but: “To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have affected a different outcome in the election.” So much for the left’s insistence that the AG is a Trump toady.
Barr, 70, served as AG under President George H.W. Bush but answered the second call to service when it came.
Thank you for your service, sir.

Tells you all you need to know about what the Murdochs have done with the Post.
He saw a great crime taking place, and took great pains to make sure no one stopped it.
Barr is a A-hole!
You can’t spell ‘class’ without ‘ass.’
Barr=Judas
slow walked everything he could it seems.
An ass act?
Dante put Brutus and Judas in the lowest circle of Hell. Betrayal, political or religious, is the worst.
At least Sessions told people he was recusing.

BILL BARR - Just what the Deep State ordered.

Barr got paid a fat salary to do NOTHING
....except to cover up and ride out CRIME in our government.
He is a CRIMINAL and should be treated as such.
Why would anyone want rampant corruption and perversion to be used to influence the decision making process of the electorate?
Amazing (dis)Grace on bagpipes...
If you have no problem with one side being totally protected, and the other being Persecuted falsely - then Bagpipes works for you, simple.
