I’ll support Barr’s position on this. Trump should stop tweeting regarding any investigation Barr is doing.
He can tweet about everything else, but in the long run it will be better if Barr is free to do his job without the Trump tweets.
He's free to do it now and just needs to get on with the f'n thing instead of whining to the Enemedia about it.
Agree. However - mission accomplished, as I suspect Trump’s purpose was to elevate some issues and give Barr the opportunity to take the high road. No one on the left hates Barr as much as they hate Trump, so this cleverly puts them in the position of supporting Barr!
We’re in 4D Chess country now.
I find it risible that Trump's public remarks prevent Barr from being free to do his job. I can understand that Barr might be annoyed, and respect his right to be publicy vocal about it. If the courts and DOJ are influenced by political jabs, we have a big problem with so-called "blind" justice.
Which is exactly what we have - a politically driven, not justice driven, court and justice system. Bands of petty tyrants waving "the law" around as thought it is a talisman. All the while they are completely free to abuse their discretion and power.
Plus, if tweets, which are nothing more than words, hamper him from doing his job, then he's not the man for the job.
Trump should stop tweeting regarding any investigation Barr is doing.
It’s been near 4-5 years since these Democrat crimes. How long do you advise POTUS to refrain from commenting on them? Perhaps the entirety of his second term?
“I’ll support Barr’s position on this. Trump should stop tweeting regarding any investigation Barr is doing.”
Agree with you. Barr’s investigation is too important to have anything introduced into the situation that might compromise it. Tweet about Fredo, the economy, Mini Mike, etc., but when it comes to the AG, best to not go there.
Ask not for whom the Pres trolls.
He trolls for thee!
All of these prosecutions of Stone, Manefort, Flynn and others flowed from either politically motivated autocratic entrapment or from a fraudulently appointed Special Prosecutor. All of them are null and void.
All of it was unlawfully predicated on fraudulently obtained FISA search warrant applications,a wrongfully appointed Special Prosecutor who then irreparably damaged the administration of justice. It is in cases like these that the Framers of the Constitution foresaw such tyranny and vested the pardon power in the President
The President clearly feels that the FBI and DOJ conducted an autocratic campaign to ruin the Trump presidency, fabricated evidence, submitted fraudulent FISA court search warrant applications, and then prosecuted Maneforte, Stone , Flynn and others in draconian political trials using Obama subverted prosecutors and Obama appointed judges.
Now the president has seen this maladministration of justice , all of it tainted by criminal misconduct at the DOJ and at the FBI . Many lives were ruined, and he means to make things right.And if this has Barr squealing about it, then he should hasten to do something about it.Justice delayed is justice denied.
Obama interfered directly with many highly publicized criminal prosecutions , and investigations. His first s when he called out the police Chief of Cambridge , Massachusetts for questioning one of his former Harvard professors.
May the president continue to tweet. It underscores the very truth of all of these sordid maladministrations of justice.They were political, dirty, and falsely motivated in an attempt to suborn perjury from those accused so as to indict the President himself. They failed.
I predict that shortly after November’s election, all of them will either be pardoned, or commuted in their sentences to time served. Hopefully some of their fortunes will be restored by lucrative book deals.
Long may the President TWEET !
This is NOT Trump vs. Barr, as the Left would have it.
By saying the tweets are not helpful, Barr gets to assert his independence and objectivity.
But, ironically, it also provides Trump cover. In effect, Barr is saying the tweets won’t affect his decisions. In other words, the tweets are harmless.
Barr says that the tweets make his job impossible, but in the same breath he says the exact opposite - that tweets will not affect the way he does his job.
He may as well have said “Tweet away Boss - you do your job, telling the truth to the American people, and I’ll do my job, protecting Roger Stone from prosecutorial abuse.”
The President and Barr are on the same page - the Stone sentencing was unacceptable - Stone will not end up doing any jail time at all - much less nine years!
