What Rats Won't Do

 

So, this definitely has the lush, rich, crazy suspect-lettered feel of a "resigfiring" all over it, so we all need to ask ourselves, was it just not releasing the Durham investigation stuff (because I see that's about to get all kinds of bulked up), or was it that, plus not advertising the fake claims of election fraud, or was it also something to do with maybe not helping with illegal pardons (yeah, right) or was there somehow something else Barr wasn't going along with? Because the mind does wonder. 

Or maybe Trump got some feelings after Biden crossed 270 electoral votes today and just had to yeet something big out there, and Barr was the biggest thing he could find. You just never entirely know.

Trump told him to do something even he wouldn't do. My money is on: he told him to go arrest Hunter Biden.

This could make sense--the news that Hunter Biden has a possible tax issue coming after the election probably has Trump fit to be tied. A perp walk prior to the election in Trump's scheming brain would probably have been his best campaign ad. One post-election would be second-best, provided Trump understands the damn thing is OVER ALREADY.

What do you think of Dr William Barr, Esq., exiting gracefully only a day before Bloodmass leaving by the Republicans insistence John Durham an inviolate Special Prosecutor to enthusiastically investigate anything remotely related to Russian interference in the 2016 election, to cooperate with the incoming administration's investigations into anything remotely related to Russian interference on Trump's behalf in the 2016 election, to manipulate the investigations into anything remotely related to Russian interference on Trump's behalf in the 2016 election, to pick up where Robert Mueller left off and impeach and prosecute Trump for treason in his part in the Russian interference on his behalf in the 2016 election, to white-wash Trump and all we’ve witnessed in real time off as an aberration, a one-off, and absolve and repudiate the republican party of any responsibility in the matter ... ?

I hadn't considered the possibility of a Barr anti-Trump turn, mostly because Barr's attitude seems to be, like Nixon, if the president does it, that means it isn't illegal. On the other hand, assisting in ridding GOP of Trump's odor is the kind of sheep-dip operation that the party has used to get their public face washed before.
