Barr threatened to quit last year over Trump's attempts to fire FBI Director

[Suburban Warrior]

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.

1. All these spineless Fuckwits.

Threaten to resign

Or resign?

That’s all they could do?

How about going to the press right then and there and say “hey AMERICA Donald Fucking trump is an insane wanna be dictator and the Congress must remove him from
office NOW!”

But instead we get these tepid “please don’t do this next crazy thing or I will have to quit.”

Fucking spineless traitor enabling jellyfish.

Not one patriot amongst the lot.

2. Barr and Co are spinning hard to get out ahead of something. Probably the shit exposed by FOIA

in that recent ruling by Judge Amy Berman Jackson (btw, when is that memo actually going to be released to the press?). Gotta bolster the reputation in advance of the next hit.

[Justice matters.]

4. May 26 is the deadline Judge Amy Berman Jackson gave (2 weeks).

Lock em up!

3. Fuck Barr. He got in so deep with the Russia and Ukraine coverups that he has no standing

to complain about anything.

5. Epstein too...

And Iran-Contra cover-up, etc, etc.

Name a bad thing that Repukes have done in the last few decades and Barr is often up to his jowls in it.

7. He sold his soul for Iran Contra. He hasn't been worth spit since

Yet he'll never come to justice for his crimes. That's modern America.
