Fox News ^ | 02/18/2020 | Morgan Phillips

The Justice Department pushed back Tuesday night at multiple reports claiming Attorney General William Barr told people close to him he’s considering stepping down over President Trump’s tweets, days after Barr admitted that Trump’s tweeting made it “impossible for me to do my job.”

“Addressing Beltway rumors: The Attorney General has no plans to resign,” DOJ spokeswoman Kerri Kupec tweeted.

Barr “has his limits,” one person familiar with Barr’s thinking told The Washington Post.

Its report suggested that Barr wanted Trump to “get the message” to stop weighing in publicly in ongoing criminal cases. An administration official gave a similar admission on Barr to The Associated Press. …

If he isn’t going to prosecute any of the well known crimes, he may as well quit.

He passed on the low hanging fruit of McCabe.
If he won’t go for that, he won’t go for anything.

Has no plans to resign isn’t the same as telling others he was thinking about quitting over Trump’s tweeting. Did he say this or not????????????????? Tell me lies. Tell me sweet little lies.

fake news or not, Tom Fitton said it best:

watch from 5:53.
at 6:46 Fitton says to Robert Driscoll, former DOJ - you know what a real criminal investigation look like.
(Fitton to Chaffetz): I’m not seeing any of that out of this Justice Dept. the worst corruption scandal in American history. illegal spying on a sitting President. the President is right to be frustrated. he should be tweeting more, and directing the Justice Dept more on this.
I would appoint a Special Counsel directly if I were him. the Justice Dept is incapable of doing this in these present circumstances.

Maybe Barr ought to weigh in himself on some of these cases where associates of Trumps are being railroaded. Maybe if he did his job then Trump woudn't need to point out the injustice. But then again, if he was doing his job there wouldn't be injustice being served up by his department because it's his job to see that it isn't. As AG he's personally responsible for the Flynn and Stone cases and they are both getting screwed for nothing and Barr would love to pretend it wasn't happening if Trump would just let him.

I'd tell Barr to do his job but as far as I can tell his job seems to be pretending to be a tough guy while running cover for the deep state criminals and coup conspirators. Prove me wrong Barr: stop letting people who admit crimes (for example, Andrew McCabe and Hillary Clinton and whoever signed those FISA warrants, etc) go free as birds. Indict someone for crimes that they obviously committed and stop prosecuting people who were entrapped into process crimes during an invetigation of a crime that didn't happen.

But Kerri didn’t address the rumor which was I’ll walk if you keep tweeting.

Trust Sessions. Trust Huber. Trust Barr? Yeah, no. We’ve seen this DOJ movie before.

What was the number? 1100? All those former DOJ officials that wanted Barr to quit. Maybe they are behind all this media attention that Barr is leaving.
