Attorney General Bill Barr has dismissed Donald Trump's attacks as a 'deposed king ranting' and said that he 'isn't intimidated' by the president calling him a 'big disappointment' over the Hunter Biden tax probe, according to a source.

Trump lashed out at Barr on Twitter Saturday morning demanding to know why he didn't reveal the investigation into President-elect Joe Biden's son before the election and retweeting a post calling for the firing of the DOJ's top boss.

His fury came after it emerged on Wednesday that the Justice Department had been investigating Hunter Biden over his business dealings and taxes leading up to the election but did not make the probe public.

“Barr stopped the Mueller investigation and ended the impeachment.”

Thats because it had turned into a farce and had no chance of working. In otherwords, damage control.

Seeing how he’s done nothing about bringing anyone to justice or investigated the election steal, I can believe he said it.

‘deposed king ranting’

Barr drank the anti Trump Kool-Aid long before he became AG.

Good point...Barr had long since established himself as yet another piece of useless GOP rot before this “news”, true or false, from a couple of lefty rags hit the street. Trump walked into a sewer, a more apt description than swamp, in 2016. A sewer filled with floating pieces of spineless Romneys, my word for treacherous turds, who have no concept that politics is war. George H.W. Bush disabused me years ago of the notion that the GOP, on the whole, was anything resembling a conservative institution.

According to a “source”.

Gerbil in the writer’s pocketses.

The commiepukes are trying to attack Barr because he his dangerous to them, and they want to diminish Trump’s administration. It’s realy quite simple.

Anyone who believes CNN is beyond simpleminded.

Remember when Barr said Trump’s tweets made it “impossible” for him to do his job?

No anonymous source there, here’s the full quote, straight from the horse’s mouth

Oh, you again. He said it early on in a very carefully crafted legal manner, “at this time”, amd at the same time he said investigators were on it, and more would be assigned. He also designated John Durham as SC to investigate the election.

If you posted some useful or truthful stuff in addition to your non-stop doom/n/gloom and Trump is stupid because all his administration hires are Devils, that would balance out your carreer of instilling defeatism on FR.

But you don’t. So, carry on with mission of spreading defeatism and hopelessness.

THe actual pattern is your nonstop missin of sowing defeatism and hopelessness and that everyone in Trump’s administration is a bad guy.

That is the actual pattern.

See my comment above. Or I’ll repeat it so people aren’t decieved by Anthony Soprano’s nonstop mission of spreading hopelessness and defeatism by posting nuggets taken out of context, cherry picking and never posting anything positive although there is plenty of it.

Why are you believing propaganda? Wray is definitely suspicious and Haspel was picked for reasons not yet clear (keep eyes on her?) but there is nothing to suggest Barr or Millie are anything but doing their jobs as they should. You should be aware that CNN lies and Soprano has a sole mission on FR to spread defeatism.

Apparently it has not occurred to dimwits that the investigation was not completed until now. Good investigators do not announce results pf criminal investigations until they’re ready for the action.
