Editor's note : After publication of this article Mr Barr said in an interview with ABC News that President Donald Trump’s tweets and public statements about criminal cases “make it impossible for me to do my job”.
First Mr Trump showed that he would retaliate against those who testify against him. On February 7th he fired Gordon Sondland, America’s ambassador to the, who had told Congress that “everyone was in the loop” regarding efforts to pressure Volodymyr Zelensky, Ukraine’s president. That same day Alexander Vindman, a lieutenant-colonel who had told Congress that Mr Trump’s call to Mr Zelensky was “inappropriate”, was removed from the National Security Council . Mr Trump suggested that the army should consider disciplinary action. Mr Vindman’s brother was also removed from hisjob.
Then Mr Trump showed he will help those who break the law on his behalf. On February 11th four federal prosecutors abruptly withdrew from the case against Roger Stone, a sometime adviser to Mr Trump, after the Department of Justice pushed for him to receive a lighter sentence. Mr Stone was convicted of seven felonies related to his obstruction of Robert Mueller’s inquiry and facing a sentence of up to nine years.
The Department of Justice is not meant to be like other departments of the federal government, which jump when the president claps. But that distinction seems to have vanished. Mr Trump tweeted that the prosecutors’ recommendation of up to nine years for Mr Stone was “horrible and very unfair”. Later that day the government filed an amended sentencing request.
The Constitution has failed because the people have become corrupt, and only a dictator like Trump can rule a corrupt people.
To to victor go the spoils
Do you guys have anything good to say about him? Doesn’t appear so.

Trump is just plain evil
Rhubarb rhubarb... predicted absolutely everybody. Meanwhile, a-propos of malapropisms: Sometimes you get trumped even when you seem to have all the Right's cards.

Please do not use 'acquittal' to describe what Republican senators did for their president. They simply refused to convict him. They even blocked presentation of evidence.
🐂💩!
Nice try. He's a headline. Attempted coup stopped by senate.
Trump's acquittal is going to further embolden Erdogan.
Because keeping people around that want to see your demise advances your policies? Who wrote this headline?
Trump's Senate acquittal will embolden him to adopt destructive policies in the Middle East.
Would you dare call it criminal denial? Trump is on a political crime spree....
Yes, we know. Now what to do about it?
This is what all criminal organizations do—silence the truth-tellers.
No one but the four now-resigned prosecutors has advocated for a 7-9 year sentence for Stone. The recommendation was disproportional. Trump is in the majority on this one.
This madman is terrorizing this country.
Can you all just shut up about what you 'think' Trump is thinking? You all have been wrong every time. Just report the news and stop trying to make up stories.
Omg, the first person in power to ever do such a thing!!! Libertarian
Is that Tiger Woods?
Really!!!! You don’t say?
