Trump is publically telling you to DO YOUR DAMN JOB!

If you can’t take the hint - if you can’t do your job.

Then resign.

POTUS will request Barr’s resignation the day after he wins the election.

If Trump likes tweeting then I am all for it.

No. His tweets do nothing of the kind. His tweets indicate that the good guys need to get off their asses and make those SOBs who are guilty pay the price.

He needs, we need, to see some progress. We need to see people start scurrying and ratting each other out. This has gone on long enough.

Our Pres. is just trying to encourage the likes of Barr to get on the ball.

The President aalways has the power to issue pardons or commutations. Beyond that, he should let his Attorney General do his job.

The president also has the power to command his AG.

Beyond that, if the president chooses not to command his AG, then the president's tweeting doesn't make it impossible for the AG to do his job.

How could it? He's uninvolved. He becomes like the rest of us, tweeting out opinions.

You can't have it both ways.

Either the president is involved, or he chooses not to be involved and he instead tweets.

This is a major warning for President Trump. Barr’s next step is to recuse himself and appoint a special counsel to oversee these cases.


Graham is saying much the same. You a big fan of him, too?

Where the rubber meets the road, as they say, looks like our new AG also, "Tinks he saw a pootie tat."

What's Trump supposed to do... endlessly sit on his ass while not a damn thing is really getting done... as in not a damn thing.

And, as far as 'impossible to do his job' is concerned... what's the difference? Nothin' is Nothin' - far as I can tell. So, I guess on 3/31 we can expect crap dumped on Trump again.

I keep saying Conservatives and Republicans should not talk to the press.

They are the enemy. They don't do interviews. They do hit-jobs.

Never agree to an interview. And if a 'reporter' shoves a microphone in your face and asks a loaded question, the only response should be, "I have no comment at this time."

Agreeing to do an interview is agreeing to stand in front of a firing squad.

It could be correct that Barr would rather not have Trump making statements but the logic of the left is in dispute. Let us say the President and the AG are in some conspiracy to over turn a case. Does it make sense Trump would blab his dissatisfaction with the whole world? Of course not. These a holes were going to look for something to come up with some new conspiracy. If Trump had said nothing, the A hole media would have suggested there was a coverup anyway.

Another interesting item to note. The DOJ people who were so bent on Session recusing himself from all things Russia Russia Russia seem to have no problem with anyone on the prosecution team being appearing to be biased in any action they may take from being a juror to special counsel attorney. Clearly a heads I win, tails you lose situation for anyone on the Trump Team.

The deep state is long wide and continuous.

Well his powers go far beyond that. For example, he can order cases dropped. DOJ is part of the executive branch. Contrary to its own view of itself, the DOJ is not an independent agency. The Constitution places the executive power in the office of the President. Personally, rather than wait to pardon or commute, I think he should have ordered to the DOJ to simply withdraw all of the former Mueller cases.

BTW, there is a good reason why the DOJ is not “independent” and that is that the more independent it is, the harder for a President to control and the less accountability there is.

Kelly yesterday. Now Barr today. It never ends. The swampers all think they know better than POTUS. Maybe they should run for POTUS instead of back seat driving this presidency?

There’s another thread here today with a cabal of Hussein Heads who have dutifully declared that Trump’s tweets are in the wrong.

Barr is sending trump a gentle settled warning ..clamp it!!

It wasn't a "gentle warning". He said it to the enemy, to ABC News instead of telling it to him in person.

Good for Barr. Maybe this will get the point across. Trump must be alerted when he is being counter-productive. He doesn’t need dopey YES MEN.

Barr has defended Trump effectively and driven the Democrats nuts. Now Barr is no good to some people. There is NOBODY who will satisfy them. Nobody.
