WASHINGTON - Attorney General William Barr has told people close to President Donald Trump - inside and outside the White House - that he is considering quitting over Trump's tweets about Justice Department investigations, three administration officials said, foreshadowing a possible confrontation between the president and his attorney general over the independence of the Justice Department.
So far, Trump has defied Barr's requests, both public and private, to keep quiet on matters of federal law enforcement. It was not immediately clear Tuesday whether Barr had made his posture known directly to Trump. The administration officials said Barr seemed to be sharing his position with advisers in hopes that the president would get the message that he should stop weighing in publicly on the Justice Department's ongoing criminal investigations.
"He has his limits," said one person familiar with Barr's thinking, speaking on the condition of anonymity, like others, to discuss internal deliberations.

total horse poo if Barr has something to say he says it to trumps face not those close to him
The Senate will only confirm swamp creatures because most of the GOP Senators are swamp creatures.
Washington Post story. I’ll take it as fake news until verified.
OK, FReepers, like trained dogs, start barking and running around in hysterical circles because Drudge posts some unsourced BuLLCRAP!
I hope the door hits him where the Lord split him.
Dont know if this is true or not, but I do wish Trump would just shut the F up sometimes. I dont need to hear from him every damn day bitching about someone.
Why are you posting drudge? Nauseating.
Yeah this is starting to fail the smell test. As it circulates through the fake media, it will get old, stale, and possibly discredited.
This is likely fake news trying to grab a narrative that keep their drones buzzing about.
Well, bye.

B.S. spreads like wildfire around here anymore.
Thank you. I made this same point on the previous thread on this very subject. Too many Freepers 100 plus last I looked were all running on the premise that this report is 100% factual.
The concept of the Enemedia and Fake News doesn’t seem to register. No matter how often the media is proven to be a propaganda machine for the dems.
Washington Post story. Ill take it as fake news until verified.

A lot of Fake News gets posted to FR.
The WaPo reporter - @mattzap
- pushing the Barr quitting story...
Is the same reporter who lied that the altered Carter Page FISA evidence (CIA/Clinesmith) didn’t affect the validity of the FISA application.
Next up. Ratchet up some hysteria. Blah blah blah
Sounds like Trump and Barr playing the media. It’s amazing how predictable they are: “oh look! shiny object!”
Well, we do have our share of trolls...
especially in an election year.
Headline on Fox’s website, now...he’s a wimp if true..
