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.
He was always compromised scum anyway.
If he goes home it will be to try to create a crisis for POTUS, but good riddance from my perspective. Trump can name anyone he wants on a short-term, acting basis, right?
If I were Trump and I knew Mitch would let his Senate approve anyone who wasn’t out to get me, I think I’d just go with a succession of temporary hires, while the Senate gets to shoot down my supposed nominees. Rudy’s a start, but there are more he can trust to follow him.
To be an attorney general you need to be an attorney
I have tried and tried to abandon my pessimistic and cynical attitude.
When I followed closely each day the threads on the 1997 FR onward and waited with anticipation for justice against Bill & Hillary (Rose Law Firm, Whitewater, rape accusations, money laundering, Foundation favors for pay to play cash....) NOTHING was successful in bringing them to justice.
The Arkansas State Troopers? No. Would Starr be the hero? Nope. Now would Sessions leap into action to take them by surprise? Nope. Will Barr do it? I pray that he will. I know what you mean but how can we be realistic with the Deep State's power tentacles reaching into everywhere short of Trump and his family?
A Untouchable.
I love that idea but I have heard Tom is not a lawyer.
No offense, but you can always tell how unserious a lot of Freepers are by the suggestions they make for critical cabinet positions.
Mark Levin is nothing more than a radio/TV character these days, which means he's one step above a circus clown in terms of his prospects for an AG appointment.
That’s not the point. The point is that everyone is entitled to a fair trial and any Swamp Scum that actually were prosecuted could use the President’s tweets against him to get off.
But I would love to see Barr go. If Trump blows yet another nomination over there, however, there may be no saving him.
+10000
according to “sources”...right?
We’ve learned NOTHING.
With fangs! I’m in!
Until then...it's just that...a story, not news.
yes and Tom Fitton has big arm muscles too
Fake news?
Levin would kick ass.
What about Joe DiGenova?
More Fake news designed to set up a split between Trump and Barr.
If he’s not a lawyer he doesn’t stand a chance of getting appointed to the AG post.
I hope this is totally fake news. This will not be good if Barr leaves!
I have no problem with any of Trump’s tweets—except for the ones regarding pending legal cases. Those are a problem. POTUS just handed his enemies yet another bat to beat him over the head.
How would you feel if you were Barr, trying to do your job and your boss is publicly micro-managing you? I wouldn’t like it, in fact I would be very angry.
Mehhh, what a mess, I really hope this is fake news.....
I call BS.
Barr is in there to do the job. And he’s not going to let Soros with his 1100 list of partisan hacks run him out of office.
><><
I agree.
