Just like so many others

 Our illustrious Attorney General William Barr realizes Trump isn’t who he thought he was or wasn’t who he wanted him to be.

I am guessing has realized this a bit longer ago than he is letting on.

Mr. Barr resigned today and even earned some accolades from the President as he heads out the door. All that doesn’t matter though. Mr. Barr joins a growing list of ex staffers, ex supporters who thought they were supporting someone who was going to do something or had a real conservative agenda.

The President never had a clue to what an agenda is and now Mr. Barr can decide how he wants history to judge him. Does he go quietly and let bygones be bygones or do we hear “book deal” in the background? I doubt we see a book though. Mr. Barr is probably going somewhere to lick his wounds and figure out another way to create the ultimate power in the Presidency. Trump let him down as he lets the country down. For Mr. Barr though there had been hope of a new era in the Presidency, now he is looking over his shoulder at the tattered dreams he had as had so many other people who never fully drank the kool aid have realized. 

The next few days will be interesting for Mr. Barr as he winds down to “leaving for the holidays”. When Barr said there was no election fraud, you caught a peek at his resignation and now it is in full view. And again I think he was out the door long before the election. I don’t like his policies, but he is a man with a plan and a brain and he saw the writing on the wall like most of us did months ago. He just couldn’t move because he was holding out hope Trump might turn things around and win. And if so, he could go back to re-imaging the Presidency in ways he has dreamt for years. Now, history won’t be kind and Biden’s Presidency will set back his dreams a few years if not for much much longer. 

Trump ain’t quiting yet, but for Mr. Barr the time has come and gone.

Stay safe
