I think you’re wrong about this. Barr has done this in a way that lets him always tell the truth when he says: “President Trump and I have never spoken about DOJ work on active cases.”

He is scheduled to testify in March before the House Judiciary Committee, and this is a critical stance for him to maintain.

Not good. Not good at all.

Yes it is. It's Kabuki. Trump needs that separation.

Just for review. Barr and his swamper ilk are just fine with:

Prosecution of Trump associate Stone:

1)Obama judge
2)Obama white house deputy counsel (former Mueller Coupist)prosecuting
3)Democrat office seeker jury forewoman

Barr says literally nothing about that. In fact approves. Then lashes out publicly at POTUS? Rediculous.

I take it back, Bill Barr is NOT Brownie. He is General McClellan.

"He has the slows."

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


Who can deny this? Makes plenty of sense.

Does that mean that something might get down. All Linda Graham has done is run his/her mouth.

The president also has the power to command his AG.

Come on - that's overly simplistic.

To command to do what?

And here comes Barr, right on time, trying to shutdown DJT just as he mounts an offensive. Trust the Plan my rear end.

“Mr President, fire him this instant. ..”

I agree. Always have been suspicious of Barr. And who killed Epstein!

Time to clean out DOJ and drastically reduce its workforce!

Barr is correct. If he’s really doing his job to expose this cabal, the last thing he needs is for it to be undermined by the president’s side color commentary. It makes an opening for others to shout that these cases are political retribution rather than the crimes they truly are. It also opens appeal avenues for adjudicated treasonists that their convictions were political and should be dismissed.

Trump sometimes needs to just talk in private and not always lean toward diarrhea of the thumbs.

If Barr doesn’t like the tweeting that’s fine, he could have gone to President Trump and told him to knock it off, he doesn’t have to go to ABC and cry about it


Were he to do that, the media would be crying that he is not independent.

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.


You couldn’t be more wrong.

POTUS is being attacked because he getting close to the heart of the coup:

The rigged prosecution of his supporters by Obama administration officials in the DOJ.

The DOJ and GOP Senate has been providing top cover to these Democrats for 3 years. POTUS is blowing that all up and he being attacked for that.

Agreed, some are like that.

Barr is not doing his job to expose the cabal at all. Don’t kid yourself. Maybe a small-fry prosecution here or there. Maybe.

Doesn’t mean Trump’s tweeting always helps, but Barr should have had better control of the Roger Stone situation anyway.
