His resignation would hurt Trump. Trump should not tweet about DOJ cases period. If he has a problem he should take it up with Barr privately. Management 101.

Maybe Barr just told one suspected leaker so he knows who to fire on Friday.

I wonder how well the McCabe free pass went with his boss.

No charges for McCabe and others? Yes, he should resign in embarrassment. Trump should replace him with someone ready to make a name for themselves by prosecuting them all.

The last we need is some judge to be able to dismiss cases over a Trump tweet.

What's the matter with you, jack@ss? The Justice Department is supposed to prosecute cases like WWE matches. Get with the program, would you?

/sarcasm off/

Yes, DJT should watch this fetid Swamp destroy countless people and anyone associated with his campaign. No thanks, no more appeasing moderate Rs.

Most probably fake news... could be Barr trying to look independent...

He and Trump need to sit down and have a one on one. Trump needs to tell him, I’ll stop tweeting, if you will ensure equal justice is done, and done soon....

“Replace him with Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch. Tom has uncovered 10x as much as Barr, and he’s not even privy to half the inside info as Barr.”

I could live with that. :)

Sessions Jr. can piss off. He never had any desire to drain even an edge of the swamp.

Mark Levin needs to be the next AG.

What...do you think

I know what I think...we've been burnt too many times....

Watching the Dims, the Left get away with murder..habitually. And the Right sits and does nothing...or weakly does nothing.

Trump expressed all the confidence in the world in him (much more than he deserves). Trump said he will absolutely not back off Twitter. If Barr leaves, F him. Elevate Rudy as acting AJ since the DS would never approve him. Set Rudy lose to go total mid evil between now and November.

In other words: He stalled the prosecution of Democrats long enough. His work is done.

Please stop posting nonsense here.

Michael Cohen will be confirmed to the AG spot from prison before the U.S. Senate ever lets Tom Fitton within 500 miles of a confirmation hearing for that post.

Barr is a good man and doing things thoroughly. I hope the President does not say anything that the defense for the scoundrels could use in court.

Replace him with Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch.

Love Fitton, and the best part about him is, he's not a lawyer.
