rump said that Attorney General William Barr would depart next week.
Barr had in recent weeks fallen out of favor with the rump after acknowledging that the Justice Department had found no widespread voter fraud.
Barr's last day is December 23rd...

For much of the last two years, Bill Barr was regarded as the rump's most-valued wingman.
The attorney general enabled the rump's darkest instincts on the possibility of vote fraud in mail-in ballots.
He compared lockdown orders as a result of the coronavirus pandemic to slavery.
He tried to have the Justice Department take over the rump's defense in a defamation suit filed against the rrump.
Given all of that, there might be a tendency to believe that Barr's resignation as the nation's top cop on Monday night -- a move that came after multiple reports that the rump was considering firing him -- marks the end of a era in which the Department of Justice was used (and misused) to further the political whims of the rump.
Barr was the rump's attorney...and worked for him, not for us, or the country !
