Here is my thought on this. If barr leaves, and I hope he does, it will be old news in a week or two. This will have no effect on the election of POTUS. But it will in the senate if Trump does not get his nominee in place quickly. This is an election year with a popular POTUS. If the gopE congress continues to obstruct Trump, that would cause more down ticket gopE senators problems with thier base. mcconnell knows this. That is the reason Trump was acquitted by 52 gopE senators, otherwise there would have been many more defections. Trump has power, now is the time to use it.
Barr’s not going anywhere.
The story here is blatant journalistic fraud by WaPo, completely made up political propaganda. It’s beyond mere wishful thinking, they had to deliberately concoct this out of whole cloth. It was never going to happen and they knew that and printed this anyway.
Maybe Trump himself is “nudging” Barr?

And, if Barr leaves, running the DOJ will be left in the hands of career bureaucrats.... like when the meek, cowardly Sessions abandoned his responsibilities and left them to Rosenstein. HOW DID THAT WORK OUT FOR OUR NATION & TRUMP?
I see your point but you’re neglecting the other half of the picture.
