Attorney General William Barr has told people close to him hes considering quitting over President Trump's tweets about Justice Department cases, an administration official says.
Rudy could NEVER get through the senate NEVER!! Barr and Durham are the best hope we have PERIOD!!!
So it sounds like you think Barr quitting is a good thing? I dont.
Would Barr’s replacement enjoy Trump’s tweets about the DOJ? The answer is no......and you know this.
DiGenova would have shredded DoJ, as it deserves to be.
Most probably fake news... could be Barr trying to look independent...
Most often these leaks have been true the past 3 years. Mattis, Kelly, etc. All leaked this garbage before eventually quitting.
Trump said today he knows who the leakers are, I am thinking this was DROPPED on one of these leakers to catch them in the act!!!
You dont have to be an attorney to be Attorney General.
There are 258 days until November 3. Barr can leave after about 2 more months. Then POTUS can appoint an Acting AG that can serve until after the election.
Now you are over the target.
If you don’t have the stones, Bill, then hit the road.
So far, you’ve accomplished nothing.
Not likely if he was a useless bureaucrat content on presiding over business as usual.
AG is top law enforcement officer. The fact that Trump hires does not mean he is the top law enforcement officer.
The Andrew Jackson Jewel Saga
“If it should be said that, the District Attorney having the power to discontinue the prosecution, there is no necessity for inferring a right in the President to direct him to exercise it—I answer that the direction of the President is not required to communicate any new authority to the District Attorney, but to direct him in the execution of a power he is admitted to possess. The most valuable and proper measure may often be for the President to order the District Attorney to discontinue prosecution.
The District Attorney might refuse to obey the President’s order; and if he did refuse, the prosecution, while he remained in office, would still go on; because the President himself could give no order to the court or to the clerk to make any particular entry. He could only act through his subordinate officer, the District Attorney, who is responsible to him and who holds his office at his pleasure. And if that officer still continues a prosecution which the President is satisfied ought not to continue, the removal of the disobedient officer and the substitution of one more worthy in his place would enable the President through him faithfully to execute the law. And it is for this among other reasons that the power of removing the District Attorney resides in the President.’’

I hope this is a case of deliberate fake news leaking, an interesting attempt to find more treacherous Deep State leakers.
But most likely: The Fake News Rat complex wants to create a perceived split between Barr and Trump so they can exclaim, We told you soTrump really IS a lawless dictator!!!
The Constitution doesnt require the AG to be a lawyer but Federal law effectively does. The AG cannot sign off on any legal proceedings in Federal court unless hes a lawyer.
Im being sincere, when I say that Trump should refrain from being a factor in prosecution cases from the DOJ.
Why do you think POTUS is commenting? Because he’s getting ZERO support from DOJ. The proof is in the pudding. Criminal Democrats free as birds. Trump supporters assaulted and jailed. And you want him to be quiet about that rigged system? Nonsense.
“Barr and Durham are the best hope we have PERIOD”!!
You are exactly right.
This is a Troll, they are really flocking on this one that tells me they are terrified
Now I can collect names of all the opposition members and whenever they post identify them as Trolls a and disruptors
I get a laugh reading all their posts, tells me that the heat is on and they are running scared. Plus this is a duplicate post which means they are all out in force to try and spread the manure high and deep
HAH Hah Losers
You chose the wrong team and each of you has now self identified as just what you are and where you stand
I love the smell of Froll Sweat
It smells like Victory!!
