Barr resigns: Everyone (except Biden) wins
By Thomas Lifson
William Barr resigned as Attorney General yesterday, clearing the way for appointment of a special counsel to investigate the crimes of Hunter Biden and any other matters that may arise from that investigation. That “may arise†language, which was included in the appointment of Robert Mueller, functions as an open door to investigate Hunter’s father, who received a majority of electoral votes yesterday and would become president if challenges in Congress, as laid out in the Constitution and federal code, do not succeed.
The fact that his resignation letter and President Trump’s tweets were cordial tells me that an arrangement between the two men was reached. My strong suspicion is that Trump asked Barr to appoint a special counsel to take over and potentially expand the investigation of Hunter Biden already underway by the US Attorney for Delaware and that Barr declined, but offered to resign to allow a successor (for now, Deputy Attorney General Jeffery Rosen) to appoint a special counsel.
