AG Barr: Trump Needs to Stop Tweeting About Open DOJ Matters Under My Jurisdiction; The Tweets "Make It Impossible for Me to Do My Job"
In an exclusive interview, Attorney General Bill Barr told ABC News on Thursday that President Donald Trump "has never asked me to do anything in a criminal case" but should stop tweeting about the Justice Department because his tweets "make it impossible for me to do my job." Barr's comments are a rare break with a president who the attorney general has aligned himself with and fiercely defended. But it also puts Barr in line with many of Trumps supporters on Capitol Hill who say they support the president but wish he'd cut back on his tweets.Barr is one of the few people in Trump's administration I trust. Does Trump trust him? Is he capable of hearing advice and adjusting his behavior? Well, we've seen no signs thusfar. But I guess we can hope.
"I think it's time to stop the tweeting about Department of Justice criminal cases," Barr told ABC News Chief Justice Correspondent Pierre Thomas.The DOJ was already reviewing the insane Stone sentencing recommendations and preparing to overrule the rogue prosecutors. But Trump's tweets make it seem like Barr is making political decisions at Trump's behest. Which Barr is actually permitted to do, and Trump is permitted to order him to do. But this causes unnecessary problems -- and now new calls for the only man I trust in the DOJ to recuse himself or appoint another Special Counsel. Which is the same playbook they ran with Sessions -- where it worked. Can it work again? Can the Democrats make a conflict-of-interest allegation and then get a Democrat Deep Stater in the DOJ to issue a memo offering the opinion that the AG should recuse? I wouldn't bet against that. And I sure wouldn't help the Democrats run the Sessions Playbook on Barr. Trump cannot make Barr appear to be his political catspaw and expect Barr to remain the AG. And to avoid recusing himself. And Trump should really, really want Barr to remain the AG and avoid recusing himself.

Barr has a point, from a Legal point of view, Trump's tweet was a big complication that he didn't need, that is going to get every decision he makes second guessed by Judges and Juries.
Trump has a point, he was bringing the corruption present in this trial to the attention of the country's voters.
They play to two different audiences. I'm sure they'll patch up any differences, since they need each other. Trump needs Barr, especially, so he better treat him nicely.

This fuckin' self-aggrandizing bitch is drunk on all the praise and accolades heaped on her by the identity-politics-loving media:
https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-us-canada-51480912/ record-breaking-astronaut-do-what-scares-you
"Record-breaking astronaut: 'Do what scares you.' "
Some chick just "broke the record" for the longest time in space by a woman.
She basically says, "Hey all you girls, go into outer space and be astronauts! Fly through the stars! Like that big hero, me!"
First of all, you idiot, one gets chosen by other decision-makers to be a NASA astronaut. You can't just stroll in and announce that you are brave and demand to be sent into outer space.
Second of all, and most importantly:
You are just a passenger on a ship designed and paid for and invented and flown by other people, you bitch. You achieved nothing on your own. You are just an affirmative action hire for PR purposes. Men -- men men men men - did every single thing to create that space station, from the underlying science to the nuts-and-bolts construction to everything else -- and then gave you a ticket to ride on it. YOU DESERVE NO CREDIT. And yet you sit there bathing in the glory, and never once say, "I was part of a team" or "Really, I was just a passenger," or anything like that.
Fuck you. Seriously.

If he is, then he'll allow another special prosecutor. If he isn't, he won't.
I suspect Barr is not going to be effective, but I will withhold anything approaching final judgement until his House testimony next month and Durham's findings and recommendations a bit later.
My position now is, "nothing will come of this and no one meaningful gets meaningfully punished" but I am open to be being surprised (though not by otters!).

If I've learned anything over the last three years, it is when someone like Barr does something like this it shows their inner self and motives. Maybe if Barr had done something substantive about the corruption within his own department this would seem rational but he passed on prosecutions recommended to him. Keep him as USAG through November and then lower the axes pronto.

3. No commercial breaks except at specific times during the game.

===
It is my sincere belief that most of what we have witnessed over the last 3-1/2 or 4 years is democrats attempting to poison the jury pools so they personally will not be convicted for their crimes.
Barr has to get a provable case to court -- and -- there has to be a jury willing to actually see what is placed before them.
This is not a simple problem and all parties can be both right and wrong at the same time.

Or is all this investigating just food for the masses?

I was surprised but happy to hear President Trump during the SOTU say that if what happened to him had happened to Obama, a lot of these people would be in prison.
I think it was likely a shot at Sessions and Wray, maybe a shot at Barr, and definitely a shot at the DOJ and FBI derp stater ham and eggers.

I'd be willing to bet that Barr doesn't like having private convos with Trump because he's afraid Trump will say something stupid that he (Barr) will wind up getting subpoenaed over. Not talking privately with the President is his way of protecting the President.

I'm sure Barr is just laying groundwork as to why he isn't a political puppet. He's doing that by breaking with the President on an issue of wide agreement that many support anyway.
They (Barr and the President) may have already discussed this comment privately too. And the need to say something publicly about it by him (Barr).

Counterpoint: If Trump hadn't tweeted about it, no one would know just how fucked up the whole thing is, all of the perfidy by the judge, all of the incompetence and malfeasance, etc.
I suspect the tweeting on stuff like does make Barr's job harder, and will make jury selection really difficult (as it is with *any* high-profile party in the social media age) - but if he didn't do it no one would *ever* have found out how the DoJ behaved. It would have been quietly cleaned up or ignored with no one the wiser. The problem is, though, that people need to be made aware of this kind of BS.

Posted by: the dandy at February 13, 2020 04:39 PM (bR08X)
I understand Barr's position but Trump is Trump and no matter what he may have tweeted or said about the Stone case, he is 100% right about it. Yes, he should be careful and I actually think Trump is cautious, despite appearing to shoot from the hip. It only appears he does that because no other Republican has ever defended himself, let alone with such gusto.
I don't really care about appearances because the Democrats will just spin anything to be the greatest crime since the Holocaust or something.

Yeah, sure.
DOJ corruption will continue, Trump should let it slide but still comment on it, and then take action after the election.

For those saying this should have occurred in private, maybe in an ideal world, yes. But when a reporter asks you a direct question, and you are going to be facing questions about recusal and independence, the best response is to state your independence then and there. Barr did it right, and can smooth things over with Trump in private.
Unless you want Sessions II, electric boogaloo, this was the right response.

Posted by: flounder, rebel, vulgarian, deplorable, winner at February 13, 2020 04:43 PM (1CjJc)
Barr should definitely have said this directly/confidentially, not to the "press". There is no explanation, regardless of how many dimensions and contingencies one dreams up, that makes *this* the way to communicate this message.
And absolute nonsense about Trump's tweets hurting him with a meaningful or even semi-intelligent % of the electorate. Most are never aware of them. Most that are aware don't understand what he's even getting at half the time, because they don't know much about what's going on or what matters.
The only area where an actual technical issue arises - as opposed to the rather humorous fainting going on over how a scandal-ravaged and basically comically non-credible "justice" process and DOJ is being damaged by Trumpentweets - is commenting on any UCMJ cases. Undue command influence is a very real and important concept under UCMJ, so any president is best advised to remain silent there (pardons are another matter entirely - whether they occur prior to or after UCMJ process).

I think it comes down to what one expects out of the DOJ. If one thinks all these arrests are coming at some point, it makes sense to let the process continue and try to avoid disrupting it. If one thinks that little will come of it, it makes far more sense to make direct appeals to the people.

yeah, some action on obvious crimes would be nice ... but Barr going public on this at least in a sense, clears him of being Trump's catspaw. Now that he has shown some distance from Trump ... Trump can keep winning the Twitter war.
And yeah, the whole impeachment was a PR/campaign war. It would be nice to have Barr say he wishes Brennan and Clapper and Schiffty would quit running their mouths, telling lies. ... But whatever ... hard to tell what the real dynamics are inside the DC DeepState run corridors.
Barr is still an insider we hope is about to bring the hammer down on the coup plotters, restore some dignity to the DoJ ... Trump is still the outsider waiting for some justice (waiting while tweeting).

We have a) a media complex totally in the tank for the Dems and leftism b) a thoroughly corrupt DOJ c) a thoroughly corrupt FBI d) a thoroughly corrupt Uniparty running Congress and e) mysterious oligarchs that are funding this corruption directly and indirectly.
To the extent that the Donald casts a light on it that the apparatchiks of the Deep State don't like, Barr doesn't like it and yes it does make his job harder because a through e listed above are hammering him.
Tough. Bill Barr knows why these folks do what they do--it is for power and money. He knows if and what he is going to do about it but hasn't shared it with you and I.
And he apparently dismisses any concerns that DJT supporters have that for nearly 4 years that the Deep State has imprisoned people, ignored some of its deepest legal traditions such as lawyer client privilege, the abuse of solitary confinement for a political prisoner, exhibited widespread corruption in prosecutions through manipulation of discovery, jury composition, and illegal surveillance.
And there has been not much happen to all of the perpetrators.
So, I would like to ask Bill Barr, "'Is this lack of accountability because this the standard MO for the past 30 or more years in the IC and DOJ? Is this what you are trying to hide? Do we have a total disrespect for the Constitution, federal law, ethics, and morality all because a class of rotten people (the political class) in Washington want fame, power, and money.
I would say to him that if the release of this unpleasant information would cause the fall of the government and its political class and leave it for us to begin anew, then you have just made the case that our governmental structures can and should be replaced because the rottenness cannot be fixed.

Perhaps, Barr has already done so, and maybe more than once already.
Assume Barr is a one of the good guys. He knows he has to make any charge stick, not just be political, or his reputation is cooked.
Barr got in with the sideshow going on for 2 years already.
There is a lot of work he has to do to even catch up.
And he has to get it right the first time. Barr has done nothing to make us not believe him, let the man do his work.
I suspect, by the rantings and ravings of Leftist nonsense, those most affected are privately screaming for protection; Barr is drawing the flak because he is directly over the target.

The correct answer here is to tell the Democrats LOLGF without arguing what Trump did or did not do via Twitter.
The Dems can get back to Trump after they go back in time and impeach IWon for his "If I had a son" comment and his sending the DOJ to interfere in the Michael Brown investigation.

What would have been better for Trump was to wait until DOJ made the announcement and *then* tweet about it. He probably knew what had been done to clean it up. Just wait a couple hours and then rub their noses in it.
Posted by: the dandy at February 13, 2020 04:49 PM (bR08X)
Yes, he's fighting.
But has he always tweeted the right thing at exactly the right time?
Or does he occasionally get a little ahead of himself?
This last go round might just have telegraphed a punch Barr was about to deliver and gave the assholes time to sort of duck.

LOL. No kidding. Some morons are going to be loyalists no matter what, and some are going to take Trump one tweet at a time. For my money, the latter is the way to go (he does have a penchant for self-inflicted difficulty, especially when he's doing well in the public eye), but ultimately we are all wanting Trump to not only succeed but win re-election.

2. Barr shouldn't have gone to the press and kept it quiet. (Assumes this in the press is bad for Trump and/or Trump didn't know and approve the message ahead of time) news flash an open disagreement over a very minor issue between Trump and Barr right now helps Trump by making Barr appear as not a strictly political puppet. And they probably did discuss exactly this prior.

Before today, the narrative was that Barr was in on the corruption, helping Trump cover up, etc.
Now it's Trump is making it harder for Barr to do his job, where the premise is accepted that Barr re:Stone, was just trying to do his job.

Which I was told by the media was "Trump called Cuomo stupid".

I'm not saying he should stop Tweeting. It's a great tool for him. I'm saying he should be more discriminating in what he Tweets about. There was no reason for him to lower himself and get involved with the Stone issue. You keep yourself insulated from this crap so it doesn't become a distraction. The man has done son many great things and he constantly creates these foolish diversions because it appears he has bonded restraint. He looks buffoonish in the end to a lot of people we would rather have on our side.

Making all the noise look like a partisan dogfight is a default win to the party with the economic boom and incumbency. Further, it nationalizes the election.
Ideally this election becomes about Trump and his economy versus whatever loony tune the Dems put up. The more the dems are able to focus on local races and differentiating themselves, the worse it is for us.

But he is the President. More: the political demands of the President have become more acute because of the glacial lack of progress from the DOJ. If Bill Barr wants to risk Trump- or his successor- calling attention to the fate of Stone/ Flynn versus McCabe/ Wolfe/ Comey? If Barr really wants President Trump asking him why Epstein was killed in a federal prison?
He needs to seriously consider if he wants the President saying "Burn it down" instead of "Trust the plan." We don't have the rule of law, we have rule of lawyer. And against that, the President will not need to appease the judicial branch or the AG.

Why was he "lowering himself"? And if he hadn't tweeted about it would the scandal of the absurd sentencing resonated as much?

But unfortunately he, and we, live in this one. It's okay for him to ask for the perfect non-political setting out loud, he's human, but he's going to damn well get this one, and he still has a job to do.
Trump is the Chief Law Enforcement Officer of the United States, not the NY Times or Adam Schiff or Lindsey Graham or even Bill Barr. So if he is upset about something over at the DOJ and says so out loud, that better get someone's attention over there. But I suspect it does. Barr ought to care less what anyone else says.

As a lawyer, I completely agree!!
82 One of the most damaging things to ever happen was the DOJ becoming "apolitical." All that means is that it is a permanent liberal bureaucracy. We had a POTUS appoint his brother the AG for goodness sake.
We do not need the permanent level of lawyers dictating how things should be done etc. Each POTUS should staff it as they see fit, with the Senate obviously weighing in on senior appointments.
But now, we are supposed to believe that the FBI and all US Attorneys are just loyal Americans. B.S.

Or not.
The Stone case is detonating for all the right inherent reasons (farcical jury, utterly political prosecutors) - even though Stone's probably guilty - and that's where the story is.
Trump tweeting about one aspect of that clown show doesn't do a thing to impair this mythical creature of Barr's "apparent independence", and Barr saying what he said (if accurate) doesn't do a thing to establish such independence in the eyes of anyone that matters (= voters, not empty suit partisan Beltway idiots, or 1,457-dimensional strategery blog commenters).

This crap is a distraction and beneath him. It looks like a lack of self restraint and an inability to coordinate and lead those under his command.
It's a foolish distraction that's sucking the air out of every good thing he's done, which is what we should be taking about.

I amend my earlier comment to make it contingent on that very unknown factoid.
But it's silly to assert that the difficulty for Barr comes not from the mess he has to deal with (a DOJ with lots of rogue, or criminal and abusive, actors), but from the very rare public comments by the president on one tiny aspect of it all.
Note that there was universal snickering/condemnation about the initial sentence recommendation from knowledgeable observers - as well as an immediate anonymous smack-down from a senior DOJ official ("not what was briefed to the department").
Trump's tweet came in that context.

the good news is those with large caches of ammo and supplies because they see the nation ending, will be proven correct.

cases.

No he doesn't. These criminal cases are not apolitical. They would not have been brought except as a political attack on the President. Trump absolutely should be using his bully pulpit to attack the notion that this was an impartial doing of justice."
We have several straight-up political prisoners in the United States right now. Say what you will about him, but Manafort was in freaking solitary confinement. And the concern is the tone of Trump's tweets? Really? Barr may do something substantive between now and November or not. Trump can deal with him then.

Given that military ROE has resulted in a consistent string of failures since Vietnam, and that military commanders of the past haven't hesitated to use reprisal killings or summary execution of spies, bragging about the military's incapacity to punish deserters isn't endearing. I doubt more than 20% of the army would go into mourning if every JAG officer was dismissed tomorrow.
Posted by: trev006 at February 13, 2020 05:12 PM (M5XQ6)
"Only I, the AG, can criticize and try to end politicization in the DOJ," Barr insinuates. NO. Trump has it within his sole Article II to act as his OWN Attorney General. DOJ has NO independence from the president.
Presidential influence does not per se constitute politicization. Only IMPROPER influence constitutes politicization, influence that seeks to override the rule of law for political reasons.
Trump is EXPLICITLY doing the opposite. He is naming and shaming blatant politicized double standards STILL being perpetrated by the coup plotters STILL wielding tremendous power at DOJ.
Barr needs to be cleaning his dirty house. Instead he is protecting the resistors of democracy. We STILL haven't got a real AG.

The Stone case is detonating for all the right inherent reasons (farcical jury, utterly political prosecutors) - even though Stone's probably guilty - and that's where the story is.
Trump tweeting about one aspect of that clown show doesn't do a thing to impair this mythical creature of Barr's "apparent independence", and Barr saying what he said (if accurate) doesn't do a thing to establish such independence in the eyes of anyone that matters (= voters, not empty suit partisan Beltway idiots, or 1,457-dimensional strategery blog commenters).
Posted by: rhomboid at February 13, 2020 05:03 PM (El6T/)
Stone if anything, is guilty of process crimes - ie, lying to the FBI. Which is nonsense when looking at the big picture here.
Nobody would have known who Roger Stone is, save for a few fringe characters, but he chose to support his friend Donald Trump for President. Deep State went out to make him an example. Laws, honesty, reputations, be damned.
And now, the corrupt Judge Amy Jackson Berman, and her corrupt jury, are outed for the world to see.
How can a system be so fucked up as to leave Roger Stone as the backstabbed hero?

Hurry up, Bob. Your silence is making it harder for the President to do his job.

I was wrong, it has not been dismissed as of yet, though it likely will be on appeal.

I understand that, politically and legally, it may be advantageous at times for a President to appear to remain aloof during individual investigations. However, the AG answers to the President in the end. If he isn't furthering the cause (draining the swamp) - he needs to get busy or get gone.

How do we know Barr hasn't said this a dozen times to Trump with no result, and now he's exasperated as hell and doesn't care who he says it to?
Just asking.

Ox that both hasn't happened? Maybe Barr told Trump how the public comments put him in a tough spot and that he would need to say this in his interview to regain some independence for himself. I think that's a reasonable assumption of how this was handled in the WH.

Next time some sob sister starts bitching about appearances, we point out Trump never *intended* to create an appearance. And no reasonable person could or would conclude from that anything other than the President did nothing wrong.
Call it the Comey standard.

1. Call strikes - get the strike zone back to where it was in the 1930's
2. Move the mound back 3 feet.
3. No commercial breaks except at specific times during the game.
4. Drastically limit the number of pitcher that can be used in a game.
Posted by: Archer at February 13, 2020 04:32 PM (gmo/4)
The length of the game is tied mostly to the pitchers. The sort that pitch strikes and do it quickly can end a game in less than an hour - Tom Browning of the Reds had a perfect game in 88 against another fast working pitcher that was just under an hour.
Put a time limit between pitches or you call a balk, don't grant timeouts to batters at will, and encourage the pitchers to get the ball in play so fielders can get outs and speedups will come.
The current cult of the K fights against that.

The Stone case isn't an open DOJ investigation. They are in the sentencing phase.

say about military trials. The proper thing for Trump to do in the
political trials is issue pardons, and cite your statement about the
cases would never have been brought except as an attack on the President
- as the reason for the pardons.
Posted by: An Observation at February 13, 2020 05:24 PM (g+eTj)
I didn't address your comment about military justice because a) you are wrong about Burgdahl and b) this case is not a military case nor is the civilian justice system the same as the military system (one big difference being that the civilian courts belong to a whole other branch of government so claims of "undo influence" are bogus).

Barr and PDT will have a quiet laugh over the distraction, then, to the surprise of NTer's everywhere, indictments fly.
THIS THIS THIS
Some here that are "mad as fuckin hell and Trump can do whatever he wants FUCK BARR!" need to look at the broader picture.
While yes it SHOULD be totally fine for trump to tweet about whatever the fuck he wants, the current situation is that of DIRE need to at least appear restrained as the dems will impeach a fart at this point. While we all knew a conviction was not probable, there ARE people on "our side" that will chin stroke and ponder over the dog shit the dems feed them. Weve seen it and it damn near killed us.
Barr doing this "on the mainstream media" provides the lip service that the asshole dems like to hear. It provides a bit more breathing room for things to ACTUALLY HAPPEN. Trump and Barr have most likely discussed this tactic in private.
Everyone please fucking RELAX

Put some fuckers in jail, then I'll trust him.
So far he's only a little bit better than Trey Gowdy.
