This all is to cover for Bloomberg having a horrible first debate, so its story #5 on the nightly news after the second commercial break...”In other news, Michael Bloomberg faced vicious attacks last night...”

The media needs to keep that sweet bloomberg money rolling in and if he’s a lead balloon on Super Tuesday, its over for him. They can’t just all scream “Squirrel!!” and point at Trump the day after the debate... they have to ramp up. This is all part of that ramp.

Between now and March 3rd, nothingburger trump scandals are going to be supersized, to take any heat off mini-mike.

They don’t call the GOP the stupid party for nothing.

That's why I stopped being a member of the GOP'ers nearly 30 years ago. Teats on a bull are more useful that 95% of the Rs.

Fake news. It’s ol’ Anonymous Unnamed again. He’s been proven to be unreliable.

No doubt too big a task for one man.

But hiring deputies and for them to hire minions would be the plan. This could be happening but I don’t see it. I’ll inquire of my (distant) mole in time.

What ever happened to the “boarding psrties”? Sounded like a good concept. Perhaps those parties could be sent in again after November.

“Has no plans to resign”. He can still be thinking about it, just hasn’t formalized any “plans” for the execution of said “thinking”.


Exactly what Kelly, Mattis and the rest of them said. Only way Barr stays is if POTUS does not publicly engage the DOJ and allows Barr to slow walk any and all events into election season. He’s obviously got a plan to do that and POTUS is interrupting it.

The facts at hand are too embarrassing for Barr and he’s being humiliated when POTUS shine a bright lihgt on the Deep State coupists freely operating inside the “Barr” DOJ.

If I was a Dem Operative, I’d have A/P sources that leak to Drudge on speed dial.

That would be my schtick. George Soros/Bloomberg offshore accounts funnel me PAC money for my community organizing. Good times.

If “those close to him” are reporting private conversations to the press, AG Barr is complaining about the wrong people. Or, he needs to quit and make room for someone with a little more intestinal fortitude.

“I certainly hope he stays and, EVEN MORE, I wish fewer FReepers would have negative attitudes toward our allies. Get a clue, folks”


No kidding. Over-the-top pearl clutching on this thread. Lots of new names too.

Fake news.

I would say yes. You have a good head on your shoulders and you think for yourself, not any ‘group think’ kind of BS. You think things out before posting. :)

"Yep. But one wouldn’t know that based on the continuing Barr hate fest on this thread. 🙄" That's for sure.

Trump needs a real head-smasher to take over DOJ. Sessions nearly destroyed Trump’s Presidency, Barr stabilized the front against the constant attacks of the deep state.

Now Trump needs someone to dismantle and remake the DOJ

Has no plans to resign doesn’t dispute the rumor he told others he was thinking about resigning. They would have said he didn’t tell anyone he was thinking about resigning and has no plans to. He only said he didn’t have the plan.

The media is really going after Barr tonight. They got a couple judges...obviously Dems....and boy are they playing it.

If that doesn't send up red flags for Freepers, I don't know what will.

I cannot believe the guff Barr is taking on this thread. So disappointing.
