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.

So what. Do you think Fox News is going to let a rumor pass them by?
Didn’t think so, Fox is as bad as liberal media..
The Justice Department pushed back Tuesday night at multiple reports claiming Attorney General Bill 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.

The DOJ has issued an official response and they are saying the report is totally false. That the AG has said no such thing to anyone.
Uh, no..
At this point, PDJT ought to just declare himself his own AG and start exposing all the dirt he has against those who have relentlessly tortured him for over three years!!!
Barr is a swamp creature who has been friends with that monstrous Mueller for decades. He was basically useless from the start!
Top story on Fox.

Laura Ingraham says it’s True, and she’s tired of Trump’s Tweets.
Tweets making people resign? That’s someone not tough enough to do the job - period.
.
Could be a head fake. Get the perps thinking they have won, then lower the boom.
Oh my God, Trump is being insubordinate to his subordinate.
But seriously, I’d hate to lose a dynamo like Barr and maybe get Rudy instead.
Laura give it a rest. Your not helpful.
