  SCOTUS just threw out the Texas lawsuit (or as Trump called it: "the big one").

 

   

There will be another big one later.

Barr out.

Barr out.

Resigned and leaving before Christmas, apparently. Which begs the question, does Trump appoint someone to be AG for a month, or does America just go without one? And if he does appoint one, how much damage can they do in that month?

They could potentially do a lot of damage, especially to the transition team.

I think it's simpler.  He didnt want Trump to be able to say he fired him.

There is concern about what Barr's departure means will come next.  As corrupt as he was, even Barr had a few limits.

Bill Barr was an incredible upgrade in terms of integrity over the last four AG's before him.

Are you including the acting ones in that? If so that seems harsh on Yates.

I was not and agree that it would be very harsh and rather undue criticism of Yates.
