And there goes another one

Joseph Hunt, the head of the civil division of the Department of Justice, announced his resignation Tuesday, according to a staff memo obtained by several media outlets.

Hunt's resignation marks the third departure from the Justice Department in the past week.

Hunt was previously chief of staff to former Attorney General Jeff Sessions, and it is unclear why he stepped down from his post.

The news of the official's departure comes after he signed on to a lawsuit Monday suing President Trump's former national security adviser John Bolton over the scheduled publication of his book. He is reportedly scheduled to leave his post on July 3.

  The Hill
Hmmmm. That does make one wonder.
As head of the civil division, Hunt has defended several of the administration’s policy decisions in court, including the president’s push to include a citizenship question on the census and its decision to no longer defend the Affordable Care Act in court.

The division has also defended Trump in lawsuits brought against the president alleging that his personal businesses have illegally profited from his time in office.
What did he do that was about to be exposed?

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
