Attorney General Bill Barr threatened to quit last year over Trump's attempts to fire FBI Director C

Chris Wray

Last spring, when President Donald Trump was considering firing FBI Director Chris Wray, Attorney General Bill Barr threatened to resign in protest, a person briefed on the deliberations told Insider.

The person said Barr went to the White House for a meeting and was introduced to Bill Evanina, a top counterintelligence official in the Trump administration who had previously worked at the FBI. When Barr realized Evanina was being suggested as a replacement for Wray, he left the room.

It was the closest Wray, who has held onto his position under the Biden administration, ever came to getting fired during Trump's tenure, the person briefed on the matter said.

Trump had expressed dissatisfaction with Wray, who he had nominated to lead the bureau after his firing of James Comey in 2017, which prompted the investigation by Special Counsel Robert Mueller into whether Trump had sought to obstruct the Russia investigation.

5. Barr wouldn't go along with Trump's stolen election lies

8. Yep, that's ultimately what made him quit.

He made his money and secured a place in history by destroying the Constitution, but even he couldn't bear the thought of life under a Trump dictatorship and GTFO.

2. Well, if this person briefed on the deliberations says Barr left the room, it must be true (nt)

3. Sounds like Barr is leaking stuff to the media to salvage his reputation

He is probably singing like a bird to the FBI to save himself. He knows he is going down.

4. And if true,

6. Bill Barr knows where a lot of bodies are buried

... figuratively speaking, of course. Is he going to leak them, one by one? Or is the Biden Administration going to subpoena him and get the whole story before it's leaked to the press?
