The Trump administration responded to criticisms from Attorney General William Barr on Thursday after Barr told ABC News that the president was making it “impossible” to do his job by constantly tweeting about the Department of Justice.
CBS News reporter Catherine Herridge reported that White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham made the following statement in response to Barr’s criticisms: “The President wasn’t bothered by the comments..he has the right, just like any American citizen, to publicly offer his opinions. #POTUS uses social media very effectively to fight for the American people…(and) has full faith and confidence in AG Barr.”

The remarks from the White House came in response to an interview that Barr gave to ABC News on Thursday where he said, “I think it’s time to stop the tweeting about Department of Justice criminal cases.”
Barr said, “Public statements and tweets made about the department, about our people in the department, our men and women, about cases pending in the department, and about judges before whom we have cases, make it impossible for me to do my job and to assure the courts and the prosecutors in the department that we’re doing our work with integrity.”

Yep. Let the pearl clutching commence
Trust Sessions. Trust Rosestein. The midterms are safe. Trust Barr... Let the sunshine pumping commence.
GOAT POTUS Trump is the master at cheese-in-the-maze politics and misdirection!
He has just nuked the "Muh, Barr be in bed protecting Trump and s--t, dawg! We be impeachin' his @ss!" narrative!
Why don’t you cut people who are natural worriers some slack?
TROLL has to be the most DAMN annoying and overused word sine BOMBSHELL.
People are allowed to have their opinions.
dems have group think...no one think differently from another.
We shouldn’t.
Sometimes worrying isn’t the worst thing in the world.
Sometimes it’s a clue that something’s wrong.
Not in this case.
But some.
This broke an hour or so...I’ve yet to see or hear the mediaVOMITS report on the president’s respond to the matter at hand!!!
It’s a show.
1- Create optics of distance between Trump & Barr with Stone trial blowing up .
2- Don’t forget FLYNN trial fireworks soon.
3- Give media a laser pointer to chase after for a few days while real work gets done under the radar.
Could you please define “Concern Trolls” for me?
Still holding to your New Year resolution, I see.
Wake me when someone gets indicted. When they are led away in cuffs. When they put on the orange jump suit.
Translation: Carry on, but I won’t stop tweeting.
They seem to be organized, and a little more than “concerned” today. Most seem to be “politely” “suggesting” that Trump stop tweeting at once if he wants to be re-elected.
When did Herridge go to CBS?.
If Barr is doing his job the tweets would not be a problem. If he’s slow walking,trying to run out the clock they’re a serious problem.
The wall is being built, with more money allocated for it than ever before.
We have Brexit.
The economy is still going great.
Fracking is at an all-time high.
PeachMint backfired on the Dems, and President Trump's popularity -- despite 3 years of *continuous* 90%-negative coverage in the MSM -- is at an all time high.
Leading Dem MSM figures are saying in public, that other Dem leaders are calling them confidentially to say the election is LOST.
And Betelgeuse may be getting ready to go Supernova and outshine the full moon.
Honestly what Barr said was NO BIG DEAL..he doesnt like Trump tweeting, that is his own opinion and that’s fine. When President Trump is frustrated about something, he tweets about it..its what he does..Barr said that President Trump did NOT contact him about anything involving any criminal cases, notice the commie media doesn’t mention that lil tidbit..without Trump’s tweets we would NOT have known the foreperson is a commie leftist hack who didn’t care about evidence, she wanted to hurt anyone associated with Trump.
Let the sunshine pumping commence.
I’ll think twice about bending over....
Reading what Barr said it seems clear he is most upset about what Trump said about his institution. Like most all swampers Barr is an institutionalist foremost and Trump touched the third rail in directly attacking DOJ. Not just about the Stone case or his performance but DOJ overall. That’s what stung the vain coupists at Main Justice. The couipst cockroaches were exposed and they lit a fire under Barr, IMO.
“Could you please define “Concern Trolls” for me?”
Ah, the feigned ignorance by a long-time freeper. ;-)
This has been quite the day.
Get your smelling salts and try to relax. You really need to start a “YA BUT” Caucus.
You could sing “woe to me” songs and read and comment on obituaries.
Now turn that “(” upside down )
Just like they suddenly loved Bolton.
