The Justice Department pushed back Tuesday night at multiple reports claiming Attorney General William Barr told people close to him he’s considering stepping down over President Trump’s tweets, days after Barr admitted that Trump’s tweeting made it “impossible for me to do my job.”
“Addressing Beltway rumors: The Attorney General has no plans to resign,” DOJ spokeswoman Kerri Kupec tweeted.
Barr “has his limits,” one person familiar with Barr’s thinking told The Washington Post.
Its report suggested that Barr wanted Trump to “get the message” to stop weighing in publicly in ongoing criminal cases. An administration official gave a similar admission on Barr to The Associated Press. …

Has a New Orleans flavor, yes?
“In fact, when I want to get something out to the press, I tell certain people. And it’s amazing, it gets out there” - POTUS
Now that the first tier of the Deep State traitors are largely gone, Trump and Barr are trolling the second tier to see who is a leaker.
Let’s see what Durham comes up with. If nothing, then I’ll agree with you.
Agree.
Interestingly, the FIBBer forging the FISA document did not make Barr’s job “impossible.” I believe he is still uncharged and employed by the FBI/DOJ. Last I checked the FIB was part of the “Barr” DOJ. Yet our fearless AG couldn’t be less interested in the crimes commuted by his subordinates.
There is something rotten in the swamp and it isn’t Trump’s tweets.
The lamestream media is just making things up now
Let’s see what Durham comes up with. If nothing, then I’ll agree with you.
How is that any different than: “Trust Sessions. Trust Huber.”? No, it’s time for the DOJ to produce results. Now.
There have already been reports that Durham still hasn’t interviewed key witnesses. The same was said of Huber and we know how that ended. Maximum pressure must be applied or we will get nothing out of the swamp. Guaranteed.
I think this was all a setup. Just yesterday Trump told the press he goes to certain people with things and within hours it is in the NYT or WAPO.
Maybe Barr and Trump have coordinated to conduct a trolling conspiracy. If the MSM, et al., are yakking about this, BB and PDJT can be working behind the scenes quietly to do important work. (I doubt it, though.)
The only coordination here was between Barr and McConnell. They both gave TV interviews critical of POTUS within hours last week.
There was resignation smoke shortly before the fire with Tillerson, Kelly, Mattis and Bolton. It’s wishful thinking to think it’s any different with Barr.
Barr is clearly unhappy with the valid criticism the do-nothing except prosecute Trump supporters “Barr” DOJ is getting from POTUS. If that is the case he never was interested in draining the swamp. I wish it was different but the facts speak for themselves.
If “people close to him” are disclosing his private conversations with them to the media, he should find better people to be close to.
“The only coordination here was between Barr and McConnell.”
I think that’s more like it. McConnell would only agree to have the Senate confirm people HE approved of. Otherwise, I think PDJT would’ve had loyal supporters in front of the Senate for confirmation hearings. I say again, “POTUS is not in charge.”
You’re slipping! That was post #2...:)
However, on the good side, the thread is up to 73 replies and I still don’t see “bagpipes” mentioned yet.
Oh, wait! I said it!
They forget that the corrupt media reports anything they want, especially if it’s fake news.
Fitton is absolutely right. I wouldn’t mind if Barr quit. He thinks his job is to protect the DOJ. F him. Mitch may not give Trump a recess appointment but nothing can stop Trump from naming an interim who will actually do something.
“one person familiar with Barr’s thinking told The Washington Post.”.... is as far as I get into any article.
one person familiar with Barr’s thinking told The Washington Post...to go stuff itself, so we at the Washington Post just made stuff up, as we always do.

U R funny. I succumbed to your wishes. $100. Mr. Robinson is free to confirm or deny. Every time? I don’t think so.
Have you seen anyone indicted yet?
What makes you think the Deep State is not winning with Barr in place?
