I've wondered the same thing. Bill Barr auditioned to become Trump's AG after watching Trump destroy and humiliate Jeff Sessions. Not surprisingly, Barr came to a similar fate. The more talented and capable the Trump administrator, the more likely they were to be fired or resign in disgust. Trump trashes his loyal supporters when they are no longer useful. And yet there are always more willing to hire on. One thing that seems true - each generation of Trump hirelings is less talented and just plain dumber than those who came before. The last bunch included abject clowns like Sydney Powell and Rudy. The bottom of the barrel....

Barr certainly thought he'd be immune to such treatment, giving his exceedingly high opinion of himself and his ability to control his opponents, until tfg used him to clean up a spot in the office left by dear Jeff.

Excellent point. It takes real arrogance to think you are so special that Trump won’t squash you like a bug when you refuse to do his bidding, or he’s done with you.
