Barr is right.
He wants to do things Trump also wants him to do. But he is not aided in obtaining public confidence in what he does if it appears his decisions are all politically determined by Trump for political reasons, and not because they are just what Barr should do (and likely would do) without any seeming pressure from Trump.
Trump is making it look too often like Barr is ONLY doing what seems POLITICALLY GOOD for Trump. That appearance is obscuring that it is often just the right thing to do.
Well Barr, do your damn job.
The DOJ and AG are not in the Constitution. You answer to the President as part of the Executive Branch.
Feel free to quit, fat boy.
You’re as useless as Sessions was anyway.
L
Then Barr do your damn job and indict? Stalling by you and Durham hurts Trump and what did you expect Trump to do? Maybe it is time you and Durham grow up and start indicting.
The President's tweets do not help. So in court, they can hurt.

If Trump F***S UP his relationship with William Barr, then Trump is going to throw away EVERYTHING GOOD that he has accomplished.
Can't he EVER control himself???
God, he is such a damn child at times. He's been very lucky in the past.
Grow up Donald!
Don't be discouraged! Remember that Trump is the mastermind at the political play-action s--t. It's good that Barr is putting some space between him and POTUS. Now the talking point "Muh, Barr is Trump's Svengali!" is DEAD, KAPUT. Barr is free to haul ass now.
Good. He’s right.
I’ve always wondered why have a spokesman and press conferences when he insists on shooting off his mouth every instant?
Let Trump be Trump, let Barr be Barr. Go easy on the pearls. I get the feeling everything will be fine.
totally fake news ... Barr also blasted the constant media attacks and social media attacks on himself ...
Theater. Again.
Wrong, and I won't accuse you of pearl-clutching, but it's not a correct appraisal.
Barr is doing a Friday news dump, to establish a space between himself and Trump. It's a very good play, use the #MSM to assure Joe Sixpack -- otherwise the #MSM will use the exact same #Narrative space to scare Joe Sixpack.
President Trump could/should be aware -- and hopefully people like Stephen Miller will remind him of this -- that any talk surrounding sentencings or pardons is always 3rd rail electrified shit, don't grab it, don't touch it until it's settled.
90% of sentencing/pardon news is always a negative proposition; and the other 10% is when someone gets off scot-free and that's not always good news either (hello OJ).
You can't take transactionalism and force it into everything. And the corollary is, "Let Barr do his damn job, please. Because he's doing ok so far."
He’s absolutely correct. Trump is his own worst enemy here. Because of the tweet Barr has to go before Congress over the roger Stone matter. It’s not a helpful distraction from doing his job. If Trump pushes Barr out he should not be reelected.
Barr is someone who won’t take the masks off Antifa, never mind release the declassified material DJT put in his charge and we’re suppose to believe this fat turd can’t do his job? What job, you useless bureaucratic POS? Without DJTs Tweets most wouldn’t have a clue as to the degree of corruption that exists in DeeCee. The whole damn town needs to burn to the ground. On the bright side it’s apparent DJT has blown up both the Rs and the Ds and this is good, real good.
Why doesn’t he just pick up the phone and communicate with his boss? There’s something else going on here. I don’t know what, but he certainly doesn’t need to send smoke signals to Trump through ABC News, if that’s all it was about.
I’ve learned I can appreciate the President better when I stop taking every single tweet seriously and just pay attention to his actual actions. Tweeting is just what he does, its his distraction mechanism. People who actually work with the President should learn this lesson too.
From my viewpoint, all he’s been doing is giving speeches.
Barr should understand the President can and will say what he will,regardless if he like its or not.
Enough is Enough.
Really we are talking about Roger Stone’s heavy handed sentencing.
Why shouldn’t the President comment on this.
Actually, Mr. Barr, you have it exactly backwards. The President is making it impossible for you to NOT do your job! He is not going to sit by quietly while we all watch the Deep State escape justice! DO YOUR JOB! NOW!
