President Trump announced via Twitter that following a meeting to discuss the current state of 2020 election fraud with Attorney General Bill Barr, the U.S. AG will be departing his position before Christmas:
“Just had a very nice meeting with Attorney General Bill Barr at the White House. Our relationship has been a very good one, he has done an outstanding job! As per letter, Bill will be leaving just before Christmas to spend the holidays with his family…”
Attorney General Bill Barr provided the following resignation letter:
.
While the topic of the meeting today is briefly mentioned within the resignation letter, that subject matter is conspicuously absent from the body of content. As with the entire career of Bill Barr, this could be interpreted two ways.
♦ Either Bill Barr is unwilling to steer the DOJ during a time of election challenge and turmoil…
Or….
♦ By resigning Bill Barr just inoculated himself from criticism if he was to support the DOJ findings of election investigations from outside offices.
Given Bill Barr’s history of conduct in the DOJ approach to the Flynn case (cowardice), the former seems most likely.
It also does not seem coincidental this resignation decision was reached on the same day the Daily Mail published a highly critical article about Bill Barr’s decision-making during the 2020 election cycle.
DAILY MAIL – Attorney General Bill Barr used the force of his office to instruct prosecutors investigating Hunter Biden not to take any steps that might cause the probe to be publicly revealed in the run-up to the election.
The directive, reported in the Wall Street Journal, was in keeping with existing Justice Department policy against taking investigatory steps close to an election that might interfere with it.
Barr and his team took steps to ‘insulate’ the investigations, according to the report, even as President Donald Trump repeatedly demanded a probe of his political rival’s son.
Those instructions were given orally in ‘conversations with prosecutors,’ according to the Journal, which would appear to suggest there is no paper trail for it. They included asking if staff members involved in the situation could be trusted. (read more)
Good riddance!
Totally agree!
Don’t let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya!
9-0 unanimous
Barr is on temporary leave. Has not resigned.
A typical rino Republican. He knew about Hunter in 2019. Before vindman. Before Ukraine call. Before impeachment. 1 year before election.
Found in the bin….. 🙁
Every time I look you’re finding stuff in the bin Ad rem- thanks for finding the good and trashing the bad!
Thank you for your hard work to keep this refuge tidy!
The last two days we’ve had a real uptick in binned comments….don’t ask me why! ?
The Barr letter Sundance posted says otherwise.
Nowhere does it say resignation. It says depart, which means for the holidays.
{Insert eye-rolling emoji here}
Agree
What part of “I will depart on Dec. 23” do you not understand. If you are implying that Biden will reappoint him, think again. Biden has already got Cuomo lined up for that job. But Rudy will be appointed AG after he finishes up his job as special counsel to investigate the Biden crime family.
IMO, Barr wouldn’t bring up Seth Rich’s laptop only to “depart” permanently a few days later. He would become a marked man without a security detail who had just dangled the proposition that he knew too much. And this on the same day an Assange pardon was rumored.
Cuomo is leaving CNN?
I think the poster meant Killer Cuomo.
Wrong. If he was only on leave then PDJT would not have announced –
“Deputy Attorney General Jeff Rosen, an outstanding person, will become Acting Attorney General,” Trump said.
All in the details.
Now do Wray.
Shame on Barr for being useless during this stolen election.
Shame on Barr for being useless since he was appointed AG.
Shame on Bill Barr for being useful for the Deep State since he was appointed AG.
Useless Bill Barr…shoulda, coulda, but wouldn’t. Forever a coward.
Starting to seem like this could shape up to be a VERY interesting week on a LOT of fronts! Again, lots of possibilities for things to finally start happening in a positive direction for our country AND our President but still many forces aligned against allowing that to happen.
Would probably be more excited if someone else had been named as the new Acting AG!
No faith that Rosen will be any better than Barr. The DOJ is corrupt from top to bottom.
Worthless, the left owes him a lifetime achievement award…
As long as Trump is upbeat—I’m upbeat.
Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition.
We’re gonna win
#FaithInJesusChrist
Being upbeat is way better than being beat up, that’s for sure!
Joe Dan: I echo terrier’s shout out. Seriously, I don’t know if it’s possible for your GREAT produced videos to keep up with the firehose of information coming out. Everything is sped up.
So strange I don’t know what to think of it.
Don’t feel bad. I don’t know what to think of ANYTHING Swamp related anymore!
I do know that I wouldn’t bet against President Trump.
Sorry, but I give a rat’s rear about who leads the doj … this new “wonderful guy” will stab us in the back at first opportunity … count on it! ..
Bill is leaving and has done nothing so as not to get the Democrats upset. Gorsuch, Kavanagh, Roberts and Barrett same thing.
Dear Lord, Can you find a wayward, teeny-weeny asteroid and aim it at Washington, DC one of these days.
lol
It’s not about size; it’s about total kinetic energy, or KE = 1/2MV^2. Where M=mass, V is velocity… sorry my high school physics class forced me to post the equation.
Did you put a sticker on that sign? haha
Any theories or info about Acting AG Jeff Rosen? Is he just a placeholder? More Deep State establishment? I know nothing about him…
I don’t get a clear sense of why PT would nominate him to such a strategic position at a time like this — he sounds sort of vanilla to me.
Personally, I would like to see Ric Grenell as the new Acting AG — someone who can make a dramatic difference in a short time, and who is definitely on Team MAGA!
https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/jeff-rosen-pick-deputy-attorney-general/story?id=61162208
No time to get a new one confirmed.
Is Grenell an attorney? I was thinking of Ratcliff as AG and Grenell back as DNI?
Mitch likes Ratcliffe. You’re still not getting it. …there are no white hats
I wish this would have happened at least a couple of months ago, but better late than never. I hope Jeff Rosen is made of better stuff.
I wouldn’t hold my breath. We need a bulldog in that position.
CNN gig and Book Deal coming momentarily……………………………
Netflix?
Faux News no doubt.
Yes
I practiced in a CPA firm and left to do some start-up businesses. I have nailed a few felons for fraud.
I suspect some of the sharpest minds have tried to steal from Casino Don. I suspect he has always had his own detectives to keep an eye on Barr and others. I even suspect he had detectives inform him on fraud plans months ago. He always knew what Barr was focused on.
I also know he delegates authority.Not a control freak. He ran out of patience waiting for Barr to dump Wray.
Why would Barr ever fire Wray?!?
They’re on the same team – Team Bush!
If you never research anything it’s hard to know. I’m amazed people won’t do it.
GOOD RIDDANCE to a totally Useless POS! It was Barr-zini all along. Barr-zini betrayed the greatest American President in the past two centuries and for what? Trying to save reputation of two worthless federal agencies by deliberately sabotaging the unmasking investigation, the FISA investigation and framing the President of the United States for a crime that never even happened investigation. Rot in hell, Barr-zini!
Don’t forget Mitch the traitor lumped in with barzibi
Barrzinni is a white hat.
Barr did not have the Stomach for what is about
to Happen…and that’s a mouth full…apology to the obese
That is what I am hoping…I posted a few days ago, just after SCOTUS punted, that I thought we were approaching the point of no return and that the President was going to need to give a speech in the Oval Office laying out ALL the evidence and declaring the Insurrection Act effective immediately. And he would need to have the SOS, DNI, and AG at his side when he did it…but this makes me wonder if Barr wouldn’t go along so he was told to publicly resign?
EXCELLENT COMMENT
AG Do Nothing Checking Over and Out.
He served the deep state well and will be dutifully rewarded
i also wonder who is this rosen?good bad or ugly??
Ugly! We went from the frying pan into the fire with another Rosen-stein!
ACLU leads voter fraud in Georgia

Yawn. Wake me up when there’s a federal building that has a crater taken out of its side.
Another “most exciting week ever.”
Don’t let the door hit you on the a_ss on the way out.
If the tables were turned and Eric Holder, Janet Reno, Loretta Lynch et al there would have been arrests of the coup long ago. It was a blatant case of two tier justice, something that Bill Barr said he was concerned about. Pure projection.
Two tweets that offer an alternative view:
Lin Wood
Bill Barr is a Patriot. His letter to @realDonaldTrump
was excellent. I believe Barr will announce major moves before 12/23 but does not want to stay to prosecute. He has done his job & served country well. New AG & assistants will prosecute the massive number of cases coming.
and this:
YUGE! Today, the Department of Justice sent out 20+ CRIMINAL subpoenas on the Hunter Biden case. #Biden
— Scott Fishman (@ScottFishman) December 14, 2020
Interesting.
Hmmm…wonder WHO they subpoenaed???
The big guy ?
I would question Scott Fishman, despite his 124,000 followers. No source(s) given, no repeats elsewhere except for retweets, and this may go down the same hole as Assange’s pardon announcement from the Pastor today. There’s a rash of these excitable announcements and it seems we have to check and recheck every statement made.
Was just going to ask WHO Scott Fishman is and if there was a source for his Tweet…we have seen way too many stories in the past couple of years about indictments and subpoenas that have never actually materialized for me to get too excited about this.
Need to convict Bidens in January, to disqualify Zhou (“joe”)?
If Joe is not qualified, PDJT still wins…
Do you have a link?
Sidney Powell who I trust 100% wanted Barr fired.
Lin Wood, I appreciate what he is doing, he is fighting for Trump, I support him and anyone fighting for justice, but that doesn’t mean he couldn’t be wrong.
Between Sidney and Lin, I trust Sidney.
But I do pray that Lin is right.
I’m waiting to hear from Sidney about Barr leaving the DOJ.
I love Lin. His heart’s in the right place. Also love Sidney, bigly. The difference, imo, between Wood and Powell is that Lin wears his heart on his sleeve, whereas Sidney is more ruled by her head than her heart.
What you have there is two grifters. That’s it and that’s all.
They are alternative, but fake news I fear. hunter biden will walk completely or given a slap on the wrist! If he was a conservative republican he would have already been raided by 12 armed fbi agents at 5am in the morning! Dual justice system rules apply! SORRY!
He’s done an “outstanding job”?
What evidence is there for that?
Can people point to the outstanding results so I can have a look at them.
Thanks.
Didn’t say what he did an outstanding job of.
We all know.
Outstanding on the bagpipes and never forgot to bring several dozen donuts on his way into work each day.
Outstanding
Not in a good way.,,
Out standing in the hallway, instead of getting prosecutions done…
That was a great retirement plan.
Work for a couple of years protecting the swamp, resign… 3,2,1 multi-million $ book deals and some part time gig on fake news for more $$$$.
Filthy rich! What a nice retirement.
News came out today on Fox that Durham added more investigators/prosecutors. It’s full steam ahead.
You’re joking right? You can’t still be falling for this con.
Organizations giving me Zero Confidence:
Fox says “XXXXXXXXXXXX”
“Durham is adding investigators/prosecutors.”
To go after us?
Was a fan of Barr until recently but just want to point out that he was already filthy rich before taking the job. In fact he actually lost money due to taking the job. He already had a great semi-retirement being on boards of various corporations.
In fact this was the big reason I was a fan of his. He came out of an easy and rich retirement to work as Attorney General. To me that signaled he saw what was happening and decided he had to do something. Than we see what he did to finally end Mueller’s nonsense.
Sadly though somewhere along the line he dropped the ball.
He dropped the ball when he worked for Bush and also Ruby Ridge, people were killed.
Yes, another disgruntled Trump official writing a book about how terrible Trump was in the oval office!
Why isn’t this effective immediately?
He turned in his resignation today after POTUS was ripping on Barr on Twitter this w/e.
Bye Felicia!
I know the transition you’ve been through. I have received no email updates for several days.
I would like to stay in the know with CTH.
Thank you, and Merry Christmas.
Gerry
If you have read the updates Sundance has posted, you will be aware that no one is receiving email updates since the transition. It’s a work in progress.
Suggestion: put the Treehouse on your favorites/bookmark it, and then click on it when you want to read what has been posted.
Any questions?

The DOJ and FBI have always been much better at concealing crime than detecting it.
President Trump is the first leader in decades to require that Federal agencies do their jobs, properly and competently. This came as a powerful culture shock to Agency heads and the upper managers.
Can DOJ/FBI be rebuilt? Nope. No foundation to build upon, or more accurately, their foundation rests on sand instead of rock.
Want to see how truly bad it is? Polygraph the SES (and FBI/CIA equivalents), conduct background reinvestigations and financial statements. Then you will know.
And congress critters too. WTH is THAT not done?
I think whomever takes these administration and court positions has to be willing to literally put theirs and their families’ lives on the line because I think that’s what a lot of this DC paralysis is stemming from.
You are correct, I believe. Also the lower courts around the country. “Ron” of twitter handle “codemonkeyZ” has a tweet reciting that from a source. Ron’s been 100% correct so far …
Ron Watkins is closely tied to the Q nonsense. In his last tweet he basically vouches for Rosen too when everyone knows he’s a fraud.
Seth Rich would agree
That’s just one reason this may need to be handled militarily. https://twitter.com/CodeMonkeyZ/status/1338424559368720385
President Trump was too kind. Barr is a disgraceful POS.
True. But as we’ve seen over the decades, when a high level bureaucrat gets canned, protocol dictates you don’t admit they did a shitty job when it is obvious to all. You kiss them on the cheek and politely say good-bye.
Having proof of many criminals for 2+ yrs would have never effected an election bagpipes.
You are just as much a deep state criminal as the rest and Jefferson Beauregard Sessions and Huber are awaiting your get together.
Put him behind bars where he belongs, along with the rest of the swamp dwelling scum in Washington DC and where ever they may be lurking. I hope that President Trump does not show partiality towards anyone that served under him when it comes time for sentences to be handed down etc.and intervene. If it be a traitors hanging, let it be so, or the rest of their lives breaking rocks in a Georgia or Alabama prison, whatever is deemed a fit sentence for Treason, Sedition and/or aiding and abetting a Foreign Enemy or enemies or governments and Domestic Enemies, plus the plethora of other crimes that have been committed against America and Americans by the so called “elite. Hang em High.
Apt username. Agree 100%!
It is not the job of the DOJ to “promote public confidence in the outcome” of elections. It is their job to prosecute crimes and ensure that our elections are worthy of having confidence in. He just admitted to gaslighting the public.
I would never have thought his guy to be cowardly, but as former CIA guy, he remembers the fate of William Sessions after Sessions gave Congressional testimony to the Church Commission that was honest and critical of the Agency.
GOD SPEED President Trump!
Be of good cheer… filled with ‘Optimism’;
there is a LION in your corner!
Barr Long time Washington mover..has too many close friends who are going down..
he would rather not be the one doing it. That is my best guess.
Interesting point…
…Bob Mueller leaps to mind.
Rosenstein, Wray, Weissman, et al.
The Democrat’s basic plan and operational strategy for perpetrating massive election fraud is now plainly apparent. That plan had to have been years in the making.
Hindsight tells us that paying exceptionally close attention to the obvious and growing signs of oncoming election fraud should have been everyone’s top priority throughout the summer and fall of 2020.
Would the situation we are facing today in mid-December, 2020, have been different had every one of us realized that The Big Fix was the Democrat’s guaranteed path to victory in the 2020 election cycle?
We knew they would cheat.
But it wasn’t until COVID-1984 that they had a chance to cheat enough…
…which turned into too much…
…and will catch them in the end.
If he resigned I think I missed it ? Reminds me of when Felix gave Oscar a bawling out in the odd couple.
Traitor.
His was consistent behavior … don’t investigate politicians and if it’s necessary, keep it low key … he put the brakes on the Trump farce and kept every other investigation of other politicos low key … in short, he was a traditional swamp rat … and the new “acting” Jeff Rosen is just Rod Rosenstein “lite” … so, expect nothing from DOJ through to Jan 20, and then, who knows ………
Another stiff that joins the elf off the shelf as two of the worst A.G.s to serve the same President. Now Billy Bagpipes can collect his CCP check, write a book flaming President Trump, do the Sunday news shows and hit the talk show circuit. Emperor Xi very happy.
Sundance called it. Even President Trump said Bill Barr had a chance to be mediocre or really great when history is recorded. Bondo or Bagpipes was truly a let down. Very few men have courage and conviction these days for justice and truth. Since Barr himself said “I didn’t have to take this job”…I don’t think he really wanted to bring to daylight any of the corruption voluntarily. Pray for America. Merry Christmas to all my fellow patriotic Treepers! ??
President Trump has such a very nice way of saying – you are the son of a thousand fathers, all b a s t a r d s like you!
cc: Bill Barr, Tuco Benedicto Pacifico Juan Maria Ramirez
known as the Rat.
Well, he was selected by Barr…..
Just for history sake.
What state, city does this ONE filthy rich fat rat bastard reside in?
And tell me again what a guy like this has been selling all these years,
that made him so filthy rich?
