Attorney General William Barr has told confidantes he considered resigning after President Trump ignored his repeated requests that he stop tweeting about pending criminal investigations, a person close to him said Tuesday, signaling possible strain in their relationship amid an intensifying debate over the independence of the Justice Department.
Mr. Barr had privately expressed frustration to Mr. Trump about his tweets before he issued a rare public rebuke in an ABC interview last week in which he said Mr. Trump’s public...
Fake News!
Fake news...
His resignation is what the DOJ’s reputation needs
I call B.S.
Thiss a a fake story, a carefully staged story to make Barr appear to be principled and thoughtful. It’s bad kabuki. Barr is doing EXACTLY what Trump wants done
Yeah, sure.
Considering is not doing it.
These guys are stealing story lines from the WWE.
Who believe this?
Who believes this? Anyone? Ha ha haaa!
Fake news
Fake News Story.
You want to know what stupid looks like? Look at Trump's face in this photo.
Reads like speculation and hearsay. WSJ, do better.
BS.
B.S.
William Barr is not saying that he is quitting because trump is a criminal, he’s “considering” quitting because trump is making it hard for him to help him break the law. They are all shit. Get rid of them, vote blue no matter who!!!!
FAKE NEWS!
It's the good cop, bad cop routine. Barr is not going anywhere.
You guys are still quoting the made up person who works in the white house. The totally real, not made up, actually a person named... uh.... Twitter, oh Tom, Trending... Tom Trenton, that's right, The person who is totally real working in the white house is Tim Trenton...
Don't quit!
Just do it. Stop pretending.
and NO ONE believes this.
FakeNews regurgitating talking points from FakeNews
Go ahead make my day!
Fake news!
If Trump loses Barr - we lose a great AG and Trump loses support from the base. His re-election chances drop. On the other hand - those frauds who are now attacking the AG would suddenly proclaim him a hero. Never give in to the mob. Barr must stay
Barr knew how trump tweets when he took the job. If the tweeting bothered him he would have never taken the job to begin with.
When you return to legitimacy, apply ethics to reporting actual news and not attempting to create it, then we’ll talk. According to Barr himself, there is ZERO chance he resigns. You know someone closer?
Never tell a Republican anything in confidence, because apparently they are the worst secret keepers on the planet.
So not because over two thousand jurists who actually care about the rule of law have called for his resignation for acting like Trump's personal lawyer.
I’ll believe it when I see it... 🙄
Source? Fake News
Mr. Barr probably should resign as Trump's tweets just make his job much more difficult than it already is for him. He has to deal with more issues caused by Trump's tweeting which only adds to his work load. If he resigns, no one should blame him within the GOP.
Consider the source 😏
FAKE NEWS by WSJ
I thought about doing the right thing. Then thought nahhhhh
Just another asked to compromise. Before they know it, they are breaking the law, and finish up in gaol.
I call bullshit
All stages. All Barr cares about is appointing conservative judges to the Supreme Court to undo things like Wade vs Roe. For that he has to protect Trump, becuase of Trump does not win 2020, it won’t happen. The tension is all staged.
No he hasn’t. Knock it off.
No credibility, no substance to his remarks; for the good of our country and DOJ, he needs to resign immediately.
Words just words
Then I’ll consider him gone.
But the Dems frequent threats to impeach Barr are ok?
Making up shit again!
The enemies of Trump leaking hearsay.
That nigga ain’t going no damn where.. cut it out
Liars! Do you know how to be honest at all? Shame on you!
I hope not! Barr is the only guys that has displayed any balls to stand up to these insane liberals!! Love Trump, but I hope this can be resolved peacefully!
Never going to happen, Barr is Trumps bitch in the DoJ to stop investigation into Trumps illegal activities.
BS
Hearsay
You just outed your leaker.
Must have had it reported from CNN wishful thinking
He should do it.
Stop publishing rumors. Your sources are weak. We, the People, don't believe you anymore.
Trump found a way now. He let them be judged guilty and Pardon them after. Real Mob style.
Fake News‼️
I bet 50 quid he will be 'fired' tomorrow. With Trump telling everyone how terrible he was.
Unitary Executive rules dictate that the president can do much more than tweet about any court case excluding Supreme Court cases ONLY! I do not see the words Unitary Executive on your article. What a surprise. Wonder why you are even in hotels front doors. Pathetic! 😒
Here’s how it plays out. Barr clears Juliani. Barr quits. Juliani becomes the new AG with the full endorsement of the republican senate. And immediately investigates Barr for who the hell knows.
Bull
WheresWarren though
Fake Fake Fake 🤡🤡🤡
FakeNews
Fake news.
This is a fake news story
Consider the source of that rumor, which has also been firmly denied.
A person close to the AG with no balls to give his name? Or a made up story that you don't have to give up sources for?
🤣🤡🤡
Fake news
What criminal investigations?
Believe it when a more reliable source says it like Barr himself or Trump
Well Barr put outba press release essentially calling this fake news/bull shit but hey’ it’s a slow news day.
Get over it Barr and do your job.
You are being used by Barr and Trump.
B.S. This is smokescreen to throw people off the trail that they're orchestrating all of this together.
Fake news, no one believes on word of it.
FakeNews
Another lie from the
Please resign. Thank you.
fakenews
Really? You fell for that? Rubes. When will you ever learn?
Oh please. Stop with the BS pearl clutching
Mad over tweets...Washington in a nutshell.
Biggest BS this week, and it's only.. Wednesday. BarrResign
Nope
Lol
said “.... a person close to him “. One unnamed source? I’d contemplate demoting Washington Bureau Chief to dope-at-large.
See you later, Barr. Prosecution does not entail restricting Freedom of Speech. Prosecutors lobby the American people on a case, so should the Defense.
This is bullshit - Barr's 'kids and in law kids' all work in the administration - his daughter in the department overseeing money laundering and trump's taxes - he's not going anywhere. He will not sacrifice their jobs or his own. He's NOT RESIGNING.
AskTheQ Media keeps calling Q (Qanon) a fringe group of conspiracy theorists. But none have had the guts to ask Trump himself. Media claims are not facts. ASK THE QUESTION.
Barr spokeswoman Kerri Kupec wrote on Twitter: “Addressing Beltway rumors: The Attorney General has no plans to resign.”
Uh doubt the veracity of that one.
And the fake news continues... you guys are persistent with creating a narrative. Geez. We’ll see. Y’all ready to go down with the rest of the fake media? Because I heard it’s coming. Y’all ready?
Fake
YOU TOO ?
Garbage
They deny it
Already confirmed as Fake News.
Bull
Nice reporting lol. Pathetic.
No one believes this. Just thought you should know.
The only AG crisis is the one that happened on the Tarmac with the Clinton
Hey Donald, where the F🤬 is my VA disability ❓☣️ CORONAVIRUS ☣️
False: he has 'considered' hijacking the damaging news cycle to benefit his king. Unless he has a golden parachute we're not aware of, he's stuck. ETTD
Womp womp!
anonymous sources 🤣
DOJ has issued a statement that Atty Gen Barr has NO plans to resign. Apparently this was just a TrumpBarr DonConBadCop routine. NoHolesBarred DirtyCop BarrResign
Nope... but you helped find another snake in the grass. Thanks Patsy's !!
Fake News
He's lying
has made a living from fake news so often.. even if they printed an honest article I wont believe it. giveitup
Wrong...
William is a joke at this point
Claims to be considering.
President Trump realDonaldTrump is the only President who communicates directly & openly to the public. Unlike the twisted, devious politicians who cook up plans behind the closed door for their own interest and the political interest. The AG agwilliambarr should know this.
Must be realDonaldTrump run of 'Let's find the leakers' fishing expedition.
LOL
Go ahead and believe it.. if you are sucker..
How much $ for a pardon? Trumpacrats Trumplicans TrumpPutinGOP
Vemos claramente que la mafia es mayor que las estructuras de estado.
'Sources'
Remember when the Wall Street journal was a credible publication
He's lying garbage.
I’m gonna call Bullshit
Perhaps AG Barr is considering the calls by the Left to resign, NOT!
Thanks for the fake news. DOJ Spokesman says not the case. Have you ever heard of confirming a story? 'A person close to the AG' aka anonymous, doesn't qualify. Maybe Fox can clear things up without defaulting to bias?
LIE!
KerriKupecDOJ Addressing Beltway rumors: The Attorney General has no plans to resign.
Not aging well
KerriKupecDOJ KerriKupecDOJ ·41m Addressing Beltway rumors: The Attorney General has no plans to resign.

No!!
This is another Lie ! Call him !
Who said that, ?
Come on You’re the last defense. You’re our only hope. Get things correct. This..... was out at the same time as your article. .....
FakeNews
'William who? Barr? I really didn't know the man, don't know who is, i or what he's about.' --Donald Trump. Soon.
Yawn yeah right
Lolololololol ok.
Barr is lying
Already debunked
Maybe. Maybe this is bullshit like 90% of the other speculation that gets printed as fact. AnOnYmOuS sOuRcEs
I can’t be the only one who doesn’t care at all what Bill Barr told his besties off the record. Do it or shut it.
It would be better if he resigned because he's corrupt and has compromised DOJ.
I cant hear the words democratic, republican or trump any more. I am back to listening to music. I hope our democracy survives.
Quit you chickenshitfoxnews
Do it!
As if Trump would allow Barr to resign.
What person?
considered* (the keyword)
This lie has been debunked. Fake news! You should know better than that. 🙄
Like everything with the man, this reeks of lies and bullshit. I'll believe it when I see it.
This has already been debunked as fakenews
WSJ is just the last in line to be gullible on this.
