Trouble with tweets and more — #NebDems News

February 14, 2020

Well, start the countdown for Attorney General William Barr to get the hook from President Trump.

You know the drill: A cabinet official, appointee or other government official publicly questions, criticizes or bucks El Presidente, Trump says he isn’t bothered by it — and soon after, they are out.

Barr on Thursday told ABC News that Trump’s constant tweeting about Justice Department cases “make it impossible for me to do my job.”

When asked if he was prepared for the consequences of criticizing the president – his boss – Barr said “of course” because his job is to run the Justice Department and make decisions on “what I think is the right thing to do.”

Earlier this week, Trump tweeted complaints about the sentencing recommendation offered by federal prosecutors in Roger Stone’s case. Stone, a longtime Trump confidant, was found guilty on seven counts, including obstruction of justice, false statements, and witness tampering related to the special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation.

Barr told ABC: “I’m not going to be bullied or influenced by anybody … whether it’s Congress, a newspaper editorial board, or the president,” Barr said. “I’m gonna do what I think is right. And you know … I cannot do my job here at the department with a constant background commentary that undercuts me.”

Later, the White House press secretary, Stephanie Grisham, said in a statement “The president has full faith and confidence in Attorney General Barr to do his job and uphold the law.”

For Barr’s planning purposes, the number for Two Men and a Truck in the Washington D.C. area is (202) 798-7649.
