Attorney General William Barr has told people close to him he’s considering quitting over President Trump's tweets about Justice Department cases, an administration official says.

👍 You bet. Yes, group think is bad, bad, bad. People here trying to "out conservative" each other is an example. "I'll show you".

Truman was the best Democrat president, imo. The Dems of today would crucify him. They’d do the same to JFK.

“If BARR leaves, Trump will not be re-elected”.

That’s a sobering thought.

DOJ’s projected budget for 2020 is $29 billion. For each taxpayer, this is about $200 each. So what am I getting for my money?

If BARR leaves, Trump will not be re-elected.

The election is 8 months away. If barr leaves, and I hope he does, it will be old news in a week or two. This will have no effect on the election of POTUS. But it will in the senate if Trump does not get his nominee in place quickly. This is an election year with a popular POTUS. If the gopE congress continues to obstruct Trump, that would cause more down ticket gopE senators problems with thier base. mcconnell knows this. That is the reason Trump was acquitted by 52 gopE senators, otherwise there would have been many more defections. Trump has power, now is the time to use it.

Jay Sekulow might make a good AG!!! I don’t think he could be confirmed however!!!

Barr needs to stay where he is, Barr is trying to get at the deep tentacles of a VERY DEEP STATE he NEEDS evidence to indict them I am quite sure they have been extremely good at covering their tracks there are 110,000 staff at the justice department I find this ridiculous however that is what we are dealing with here!!!

The enemy lies and gives out half truths to create panic. Don’t believe their attempts to make it look like they are always winning.

When did AP become a credible source?

[lastchance]

Yes.

JFK wouldn’t have survived his term in office if he were president today. . . Oh, wait. . .

I've seen a lot of talk, but absolutely no action. barr has a history, and it is all deep state.

[Nifster]

Unlike Bolton, Barr is an ethical person and a very good lawyer

He won’t be impeached and he won’t resign. This is just the mad dogs of the media trying to get a result they desire

[KavMan]

Give it to Rudy or DiGenova!

I trust them more to get those damn CROOKS!

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

#8. Add a full cart of BS to “fake news”. Barr is not a quitter. This is an AP story. Never trust anything they say re Trump, etc.

[HollyB]

Drudge is trash

[wardaddy]

Agreed

Freepers fixate on one negative and scold galore

It’s as much a facet of freeperdom as not reading the article

[SkyPilot]

The Justice Department is supposed to prosecute cases like WWE matches.

They do when it's a Republican or a Trump supporter. That is, right after the 2 am SWAT raid on a cold night.

_{….and make sure CNN is there with it's cameras...…..}

If BARR leaves, Trump will not be re-elected.

Absolute B.S.

All Trump has is tweets for redress of the gross injustices of the so-called DOJ and FBI. Nothing has been done and nothing will be done by Barr. That’s why he is tweeting.
