Ummmm... Barr was Trump’s pick. Trump can fire him at any time. Why would I have to vote for someone else if I think Trump tweeting isn’t helpful? And who is “we”?

I saw this coming from a mile away. Trump is sticking his finger in Barr’s eye in regards to the Twitter comments.
The guy already whined about it and is obviously looking for a reason to cut and run at this point.
I think it sucks because this was the only chance of having somebody who seemed like they would hold the deep State accountable. I guess he’s just one of them after all.

FYI Barr was intimately involved in the Iran Contra scandal. When a large sum of money went missing, Barr was charged with investigating who was skimming the drug money. Barr narrowed it down to Clinton, Barry Searles, and/or Noriega. Searles was eliminated ( as in killed) almost immediately, Clinton was spared for future use, and Noriega was extradited to this country. To prosecute Noriega on phony charges, the CIA called in “the mule,” aka Robert Mueller. And so began a long and profitable friendship.

Maybe you were wrong. There are no absolutes. I’ll believe him before you.

“No offense”

Barr was confirmed 54-45 with 3 Dems voting for him-Manchin, Jones and Sinema- and one Rep against him, Rand Paul. The Dems never wanted him as AG from the very beginning.

"I wouldn't like it"

You have missed your projected deadline and way over budget with zero percentage project completion and no estimated time to produce results...you should be fired and escorted out the building. Pick up your box at the front receptionist desk.

Well, if he is not going to clean up Justice [and the FIB] then he should resign.


This is a job too big for any one man. Washington is so corrupt, it would take a revolution to clean it up.

Ummmm... Barr was Trump’s pick.

Ummmm...Bagpipes was who McConnell agreed to put forward for confirmation. If you believe DJT chose this useless slob because he was the best & brightest, you are a few cards short of a full deck. It's all an inside game and our Glorious Leader is doing the best he can against useless political hacks and an uninformed electorate (read, you)

This is all for show. Democrats are crying for Barr to be canned. He’s giving the appearance of being anti Trump.
