Well that escalated quickly...

Amid a growing sense of frustration, President Trump has just tweeted that Attorney General William Barr will be leaving office before Christmas:
Quote :
"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..."

Trump went on to note that:
Quote :
"Deputy Attorney General Jeff Rosen, an outstanding person, will become Acting Attorney General. Highly respected Richard Donoghue will be taking over the duties of Deputy Attorney General. Thank you to all!
Trump's frustrations grew from various recent events including Barr's unwillingness to support election-manipulation accusations (and investogate fully) and most recently the fact that Barr appeared to keep the details of Hunter Biden's investigation hidden from the public even during Trump's impeachment process.
Barr's resignation letter (below) appears to be a flattering picture of Trump's accomplishments (achieved while Barr did nothing to fend off 'resistance')...
So, the question is, was Barr really just a gatekeeper after all?

Sen. Johnson: Congress Should Have Been Told About DOJ Hunter Biden Probe

Authored by Jack Phillips via The Epoch Times,
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, said Congress should have been told that Hunter Biden’s business dealings were being investigated as they were conducting President Donald Trump’s impeachment inquiry and trial.

Quote :
“I’m sympathetic for keeping investigations confidential unless there’s an indictment,” Johnson told Fox Business’ “Sunday Morning Futures.”
“But when you’re talking about investigations within the political realm, particularly one that would have affected the impeachment trial of the sitting U.S. president in the U.S. Senate, that should have been relevant information, the fact that they had Hunter Biden’s computer that had all these emails back in December 2019.”

He was referring to a Wall Street Journal report that suggested Attorney General William Barr was aware of investigations involving Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s son months before the impeachment inquiry.

The Department of Justice didn’t immediately respond to a request by The Epoch Times for comment.
“That was before the trial, that was part of that impeachment, we should have known that,” Johnson said. “When I met with the attorney general, it was really talking about the corrupt FBI investigation relating to the Russian hoax, so I don’t believe I ever really talked about our investigations of Hunter Biden, which, by the way - we never targeted the Bidens.

Hunter Biden last week confirmed he’s being investigated by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Delaware over “tax issues,” which was later confirmed by former Vice President Biden’s team. Johnson and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) have been investigating the younger Biden for about a year, releasing reports that found he had allegedly extensive ties to foreign nationals with links to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). One whistleblower and former Biden business partner, Tony Bobulinski, said in October that the whole family is “compromised” by the CCP.


Quote :
“That whole issue was brought forth during the impeachment. That’s when we started expanding our Ukrainian investigation to include his financial dealings, and then when we started seeing all these wire transfers that were connected to Hunter Biden,” Johnson said.

Justice Department guidelines stipulate that investigators shouldn’t take overt actions before an election.
Biden has denied that he knew anything about his son’s business dealings, and his campaign has said he never met with a Ukrainian gas company adviser with whom his son allegedly tried to meet in Washington. That allegation was the subject of an explosive New York Post report in mid-October.
In a statement on Dec. 9, Hunter Biden said he is “confident” he handled his tax affairs “legally and appropriately” after disclosing that he is under investigation.
