"Demings also speculated that Barr and Trump were "in cahoots.""
Demings, "Go a couple miles down the road, turn left at The Post Turtle Inn ......... and Cahoots is about five miles down the road."

i support PDJT not tweeting about criminal cases in trial
I am very concerned, however, that Barr went public about this. He has access to PDJT anything he wants and could have better, much better, just asked Trump about it directly.

Barr whines about the media spinning what Trump says. Then he goes on ABC Fake News and they spin it worse and an even bigger uproar is created. Barr, stop whining on going on Fake News Channels.

Barr said in his confirmation hearing he was taking the job to protect the DOJ and FBI.
That’s what he is doing.
True justice would require mass firing of dishonest prosecutors and FBIAS, that’s not happening.

Val Demings, a NASTY incompetent FAILED impeachment manager, put on the team of DOPES because of her black skin.
When this very angry woman speaks, every word out of her ugly mouth literally DRIPS with visceral hatred. Every word.
You cant fix stupid, and you cant fix NASTY.

I am going to respect both Trump and Barr on this matter. Trump has a right to be unconventional and to speak his mind, but I think Barr’s comments also were well taken. In this one case I hope the president will control his comments better so Barr can stay on the job.
Contrary to what many may think, I firmly believe that if Trump does not heed his Attorney General’s advice, Barr will absolutely walk away.

Trump is venting his frustration with a DOJ that isn’t doing anything and he is mirroring our own frustration!

I hear you.
This Stone matter need not get any more complicated than it is now.
I say let Mr. Barr deal with this Stone matter.
If DJT has something to talk about concerning Roger, he should meet with the A.G. and hash it out.
But, I have no idea how D.C. works.

Please tell us just what has Barr accomplished after being in the job for a year now? How many indictments and how many convictions has he got?

I fear that you are right. In Mr. Barr's voice I heard a regretful TONE when he mentioned that the tweets (about the DOJ) were 'making his job impossible'. A shiver went through me.
I have been thinking that William Barr is on the right side of things. I may be wrong about that. Maybe I have been too optimistic.
But, when I heard Barr's voice saying those words ...... it sounded like we may be in for darker days soon looking for another A.G.

The Bush League Republicans in the Senate made it clear that they would only confirm Swamp dwellers.
Barr was the AG in charge during Ruby Ridge.
He protected the FBI then just like he is protecting them now.
Thinking he would clean house was wishful thinking as evidenced by the dearth of housecleaning at the DOJ and FBIAS.
All those corrupt people still have jobs or are now getting their fat pensions.

I think you're missing a critical point here.
In order to protect everyone both legally and politically, both President Trump and AG Barr are best served if they can maintain a posture where they can always truthfully state -- both now and at any time in the future -- that they have had no conversations about active DOJ cases.

Republicans are more lenient with past colleagues and take everything personally which is why the answer will be zero (Maybe a few low level scalps as an "offering").
Democrats see a small opening and exploit the aura of impropriety fiercely no matter who you are or what kind of friendships they have.
Republicans should start separating business from personnel relationships, they are public servants, not a country club.
McCabe now is let off the hook; Qtards, speculation, and thinking the guy is going to turn on someone. In the end, "Deep State" on the Republican side is just alright with them despite Pres. Trump waving his arms.
Deep State or whatever you want to call it (Just a bureaucracy/administrative law which is a feature, not a conspiracy) , controls the nomination process so the idea of Trump nominating an outsider is impossible unless you have 50 Senators (Plus 1) wishing to destroy administrative law/the bureaucracy from the inside.
