Just had a very nice meeting with Attorney General Bill Barr at the White House. Our relationship has been a very good one, he has done an outstanding job! As per letter, Bill will be leaving just before Christmas to spend the holidays with his family...

..Deputy Attorney General Jeff Rosen, an outstanding person, will become Acting Attorney General. Highly respected Richard Donoghue will be taking over the duties of Deputy Attorney General. Thank you to all!

Attorney General Bill Barr provided the following resignation letter:





"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

He might appoint a "special Counsel" or two, on his way out.

If not him Rosen can do it.

I had so much respect for Bill Barr after the way he was treated post Russiagate and during the BLM bullshit.

But, after the shit about Hunter Biden came out the other day, I too have decided that he can choke on an elephant cock.

He came in with great expectations and left with a deafening whimper. He did next to nothing while he was in position. Just about everything that could have been done to execute justice and restore confidence in justice in general, and the justice system in particular, was left untouched. He was the biggest blowhard in the Trump administration. When I pointed out many months ago that he was wasting time and opportunity to bring known criminals to justice, I was berated as a "defeatist." Yeah.

Barr did exactly what his deep-state puppet master’s ordered him to do.

He’ll surely win an Academy Award for Best Actor for any number of his “I am very concerned!” performances, but I think the one that put him over top was his interview with Wolf Blitzer discussing the potential of mail-in ballot voter fraud.

See it HERE (u-toob).

What Barr wrote in that resignation letter and what President Trump wrote about him means Barr gets the benefit of the doubt from me.

That's what I similarly wrote in the Presidency thread. We'll just have to wait and see how this will all play out. He might or might not be another Bolton/Mattis/Kelly.

I don't know what to think about Barr...
He may have been unable to bring many things to the fore because the swamp at DOJ/FBI was too deep. Or he was a part of it. He had a lot of missed opportunities:

Trust The Scam: Barr Resigns After Covering Up Epstein Case, Hiding Hunter Biden Investigation

Attorney General William Barr announced his resignation on Monday in a letter to President Trump.

In the letter, Barr massaged Trump's ego and announced he "will spend the next week wrapping up a few remaining matters important to the administration, and depart on December 23."



The Wall Street Journal reported over the last few days that Barr personally ordered the DOJ to keep the Hunter Biden investigation under wraps.

From the WSJ on Monday, "Barr Kept Hunter Biden Probes From Public to Avoid Election Politics":

Attorney General William Barr, in the weeks before November's election, instructed prosecutors and senior colleagues to prevent word of investigations into Hunter Biden from becoming public and keep the Justice Department out of campaign politics, according to people familiar with the matter.

Mr. Barr took more steps than previously reported to insulate the investigations, despite calls from President Trump and Republican allies to announce a probe involving President-elect Joe Biden's son Hunter.

From the WSJ on Thursday, "Barr Worked to Keep Hunter Biden Probes From Public View During Election":

One investigation became public this week after federal investigators served a subpoena on Hunter Biden. The subpoena sought detailed financial information in connection with a criminal tax investigation by the U.S. attorney’s office in Delaware, according to people familiar with the matter.

Federal prosecutors in Manhattan had also been looking at Hunter Biden’s business and financial dealings, as part of a broader criminal investigation that two people familiar with the matter described as an international financial investigation that had been going on for at least a year. Hunter Biden is implicated in that investigation but was never a specific target for criminal prosecution, the people said. They declined to provide details on the substance of the probe.

The federal scrutiny dates back to 2018, the people familiar with the matter said.

Barr also presided over the cover-up of Jeffrey Epstein's alleged suicide.

Attorney General William Barr claimed last year that Jeffrey Epstein died due to a "perfect storm of screw-ups."


Barr's father gave Epstein, who was a 20-year-old college dropout with no credentials, his first job teaching at the prestigious Dalton School in New York City.


Barr failed to prosecute anyone involved in the RussiaGate conspiracy other than one low-level FBI lawyer and helped the DOJ successfully stall for four years without indicting any of the main co-conspirators.



Barr did nothing to prosecute the organizers behind the Black Lives Matter riots.


Barr did nothing to fight the discriminatory and Orwellian practice of "debanking" whereby online payment processors and banks are shutting down dissidents accounts over their political and religious views.

Barr also took no action to enforce obscenity laws despite requests from Republican congressmen to take action to protect children from "the prevalence of obscene pornography" online.

On the other hand, Barr did make sure to rush and announce the DOJ had found no evidence of widespread voter fraud "on a scale that could have effected a different outcome in the election."

Barr did work together with Chris Wray's FBI to prosecute Trump's own far-right supporters for fighting with antifa.

Barr did push to end encryption online -- which would effectively end internet anonymity.

Barr did support pre-crime red flag laws.

Barr did allow Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard to flee to Israel after changing the terms of his parole.

Barr did refuse to release 9/11 documents to the families of the victims.


Barr largely managed to avoid criticism from the right throughout his term thanks to the Q-Anon psy-op which convinced Trump supporters that "justice" was just around the corner if they simply Trust The Plan™ and ignore all the chicanery Trump administration officials were up to.

Remarkably, Q-believers are still acting like indictments are just around the corner.


I've heard speculation that the "Q" psy-op may have been directed by Ezra Cohen-Watnick, who is currently the Acting Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence.

"Q" has shilled on his behalf repeatedly.

Cohen-Watnick was brought into the Trump administration by Michael Flynn, who has done a lot of dog-whistling to Q-believers.
