So glad someone else figured this out.

If the AG seriously had concerns about Trump Tweets, it’s a discussion they would have had in private.

For all the fawning the dems did over Ali, they learned nothing about rope a dope.

I didn’t see it as a “spat” and obviously Trump didn’t either. Most people don’t seem to be aware of the harassment Barr is undergoing for doing his job - for example, that ridiculous House Judiciary Committee hearing next week, to be conducted by Nadler, of all people.

I think Trump was understandably angry and venting about the Stone case, and it served at least to call attention to it and to the players in it. But now he needs to step back and just support Barr quietly, and I think he will do that.

The Rats in the House have “friends” at DOJ. The entire point of “March 31” is to get Barr on TV before Durham does anything. To over ride the Durham news with news that they prefer.

When I heard what Barr said about Trump’s tweeting in that interview my jaw dropped. Why wouldn’t he say such a thing in personal and private?

But yeah, this was a made-for-public script to show Barr as an independent guy too upset about Trump’s tweets.

Heh.

You gotta play the game sneaky, like the Democrats do.

The author calls ABC one of the most biased and corrupt media outlets, but I get a sense that the Trump administration uses ABC as its preferred method of getting an orchestrated message to TV viewers.

Nominating Liu then denominating her is a neat slap in the face for the Democrats who thought they were pulling a fast one. I would not be surprised were it confirmed tha t it was made to be that way.

Because this isn’t about Barr/Trump. Barr made a clear warning to POTUS that if he continues to attack DOJ publicly that there will be more “Resistance” and resignations there.

YEP- I feel bad for BARR that he has to face Gonad and his posse. It didn’t have to happen. Barr could just say screw this and retire. Not too many people are so loyal that they will allow themselves to be smeared by news media and interrogated while serving the President.

One tweet has now led to weeks of Dems and news having the stage yet again- who knows a whistle blower might be found in attempt to take out BARR.

If the President had concerns why didn’t he say it to BARR in a personal and private manner. Of course with witnesses to back up what was discussed.

There is no “spat”. Trump’s tweets resulted in Barr having to deal with a bunch of ridiculous nonsense. They shouldn’t interfere with Barr doing his job, but they probably do. The “spat” exists only in the diseased minds of liberal journalists and other disgusting people.

Good lawyers always insist clients not talk about their case. Same here.

AG Barr is a serious, legal heavyweight. His client should heed the advice and not give ammo to the dishonest Rats.

Because hell is coming from AG Barr and Durham. You can feel it.
The NY Times is back posturing on further SpyGate revelations.

Figure it out folks.

Once again, a fine effort from Eyes of Texas.

I don’t doubt it was planned. I don’t know which came first, the tweet or the plan, but it will help thingsa lot. The Dems will still act out but America is going to be comfortable with what is coming down the track.

The whole purpose of playing this out on national TV is so that Barr can testify truthfully (at any time) that he and President Trump never had any conversations about open DOJ cases.

I’d be willing to bet they agreed on how to do it before they did it. Almost certainly stagecraft.

“In other news, President Trump and his Attorney General are now feuding. – Or are they? It’s hard to know, really.”
The Prez is the grand master at staging and baiting the press. I think this is one of those times. IMO

It actually makes perfect sense... Barr pushes back on Trump publicly, the Dems view him as being more independent, Barr drops the hammer.

What are the left to say?

“Everyone Hates Trump tweeting” is fake news.

Should we just rely on the media to relay his message?

It was a twofer win-win. Trump handled the political angle - to show that the whole Stone mess was a corrupt undertaking from beginning to net even yet the end, FBI, prosecutors, jury Judge Amy Berman and this other Judge Howell who had to mouth off in violation of the judicial code of conduct.

And Barr got to declare his independence and tell Trump to knock it off [which he isn't going to do if he sees a need to do it].

And the press made sure we all know about this little skit.

Brilliant.

All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages.

Gee, if they’d just damn do something then we wouldn’t have to speculate, now would we? I know justice can move very slowly, but it would seem that these guys want it to move slow on purpose for some reason.

Jeeze, how hard can it be to find evidence when it’s so blatantly flaunted? Do they think they have to know everything about every crime ever before they can move on anything? It’s ridiculous and it needs to be settled one way or the other. This Republic’s in danger.
