PierreTABC EP 4 What Pleases A Woman. Go to YouTube to watch the video and tell me what you think! Totally Free It is a new show in the Detroit area.

PierreTABC Barr doesn’t do his job in the 1st place....

PierreTABC Impossible to do what job?! Is it to help 45pp✳️’s cohorts escape prosecution without the American people knowing it & assaulting Lady Justice?!

PierreTABC PierreTABC dont be a dumbass. Its not pressure, it’s corruption.

PierreTABC I guess Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch had no respect in the DOJ.

PierreTABC 🖕

PierreTABC DisbarBarrNow ImpeachBarr

PierreTABC Maybe I'm uneducated, but isn't the DOJ part of the executive branch? Isn't the president their boss? Is there any law that changed that relationship?

PierreTABC Don’t be fooled. He has done nothing to show any level of independence. If I am wrong give me a concrete example that does not include political theatre.

Remember he did that because he does not tweet, Twitter is public so is this.

That’s BarrBullshit Not unlike TrumpBullshit ConwayBullshit HuckabeeBullshit GiulianiBullshit PompeoBullshit WhiteHouseBullshit SenateBullshit We definitely have to Resist AllTheBullshit

Notice how the quotes stop when it comes to what they want reported. The media is showing bias again and only reporting what benefits thier Dem masters. MediaBias

But did Trump TELL you to interfere?

Barr lies.

😂

Old news but the MSM keeps reposting !!!

Impeachment of Donald Trump power and obstruction of Congress ⛹️

Hey : It’s a setup and you fell for it.

This is a clear public message to Trump, about who exactly is in charge... & I do not mean Barr is in charge... I mean the 5th-Column cadre pulling MoscowMitch & Barr's strings; do..

He probably told him...forget about asking.

This was a set up to explain the McCabe decision he knew was coming

Thank you

PierreTABC America has no news media only news there is, is trump tweets TWEETS AWAY MR PRESIDENT

PierreTABC It’s time for the AG of the US to stop meddling in cases involving Trump’s “crew” and to uphold the rule of law for equal justice for all of the people. Inferring and suggesting to the American people it is his role to review and advise on these cases, insults our intelligence.

PierreTABC Confidence game: President *'s crooked AG delivers time and again; 'difficult work' requires the quiet necessary to do the dirty deed. Lessons constantly being learned.

PierreTABC Let’s play today’s round of Spot the Lie. Your hint is, watch at 3:30.

PierreTABC Nobody believes a word he said.

PierreTABC You guys got played by Barr for what will prove to be a worthless 'scoop'

PierreTABC I'm sure he does wish the president would stop calling attention to his crimes. It is much easier to break the law if you don't have a national audience

PierreTABC ALERT The only person that stands between us and Fascism is JoeBiden. resolved : historians are now calling the era we live in TrumpFascism

PierreTABC ABC just let him lie. They are pushing his lies. They are complicit. I guess Bob Iger is doing him a favor.

PierreTABC Yes it is time

PierreTABC You know Barr is full of shit, right?

PierreTABC HOGWASH! He did it for Trump.

PierreTABC I guess the pentagon just took it on themselves to shift the military’s allotted 3.8 Billion dollars to the wall as well.

PierreTABC ABCNews was played by this Liar. BarrLies.

PierreTABC Trump was well aware of Barr's comments in advance - it's all part of their orchestrated scam. Followed by the little treat added by Lou Dobbs. Let's see what they have coming in the next episode....

PierreTABC A liar working for the liar-in -chief

How many times do you guys tweet the same thing?

PierreTABC . .PierreTABC Watching this is like watching how a father talks to his daughter. No hard questions.

PierreTABC

PierreTABC Hey ABC where’s that Clinton Tape? Asking for a country.

'Never asked', but did Trump say something like, 'I hope you can see your way clear to...' or was it more like, 'I would like you to do us a favor though...'? The 'make it impossible for me to do my job' must have been why this tweet was deleted. 

PierreTABC This is where Barr realizes Trump is totally out of control and he is completely powerless.

Gee, you poor fucking thing

Trump needs to Fire this Deep State, George H W Bush NeoCon. William Barr is getting back at Trump for beating out Jeb Bush in the Republican Primary in 2016. William Barr use to be a Never Trumper and still is a Never Trumper.

realDonaldTrump

Barr's job, as he sees it, is to protect Trump. Barr's job becomes impossible when Trump's tweets exposes that.

Did anyone expect a smart legal mind like his to go on national tv and say Trump did told him to do it. Believe me was no need for Trump to make that call. That was all hashed out when Barr interviewed for the job. Trump expects total loyalty from the people he appoints.

It took you 2 days to come up with that ?!!! Really?!!! That’s all you got ?!! WhiteHouse

Really? Then you know that the honourable thing to do is - resign.

Crook

BarrLies

Spinning Spinning Spinning Spinning Spinning Spinning Spinning Spinning Spinning Spinning Spinning Spinning Spinning Spinning Spinning Spinning Spinning Spinning

All an act.

Bill Barrf🤮🤮🤮

President Trump is Fakenews. Pass it on.

Shit up and sit down Barr you feed his tweets so DEAL WITH IT!

Best joke of the day - impeached doing something for America hahaha DumpTrump2020

Well, now we know. Even after Barr said Trump's tweeting keeps him from doing his job, Trump's not going to quit tweeting. Will this cause Trump to start attacking Barr? Probably not. At least not right away.

Every time someone says “fake news,” an undocumented immigrant gets a taxpayer funded abortion.

Lots to investigate

Bill Barrf bothered🤣🤮

I wonder when his last day will be?

I'll believe this is a real dispute when I believe that this was an actual fight.

And 1-2-3- rage tweets

What the heck? Did you deliberately seek out the two absolutely dorkiest looking dudes in the nation?

Poor Barr. How can Barr cover up all of trump’s crimes, if trump keeps tweeting that Barr is covering up all his crimes!

PierreTABC Thank you for this... I so ‘want’ to believe you are not tainted or up for sale by anyone, much less, the President. I so pray you’re being honest and our country has not dropped that far.

PierreTABC Let them go! All they do is show their ignorant and mob mentality!

PierreTABC Why are you giving this tyrant-enabling criminal airtime, ? Shame on you!

PierreTABC TheJusticeDept is a very weak link in our Federal government. History will be unfavorable to realDonaldTrump, AG Barr, SenMajLdr LindseyGrahamSC and SenateGOP. In their hate, they have sold their souls to the devil and hell awaits them. No repent will be granted. 🙏 for 🇺🇸.

PierreTABC The American people are smart. We know what this bs interview is. ResignBarr

PierreTABC The President can tweet anything he likes Barr. We the people don’t give a damn. What we do care about is going after the real criminals that are walking around still undercutting our President. The comeys, the Hillary’s the Brennan’s the clappers...worry about what THEY tweet!

PierreTABC Good boy!!!! About time!!

PierreTABC anyone know who the DOJ attorneys were for the jury selection?

PierreTABC When Trump goes too far, even AG Barr has to bite back! Ouch!

PierreTABC Umm excuse me...where the HELL is the question asking why the 4 AUSAs on the case resigned in protest?!?

PierreTABC Just a pitiful and poor attempt to cover his own arse now that several prosecutors have 'resigned' from the Roger Stone sentencing. He probably didn't expect the fierce reaction (resignation) from the said prosecutors! And the scandal blowing up in his face!

PierreTABC Liar ImpeachBarrNow

PierreTABC This staged show is to distract from the House demand for testimony from Barr about DOJ intervention/Stone sentencing and to make Barr appear impartial when he never will be; he won't resign, he will continue to fix.

PierreTABC Bye bye Barr

PierreTABC Is this Barr's call for help from Stockholm syndrome?

PierreTABC And just like that Barr and Trump put the MSM and Democrats in the position of having to praise Barr for his independence and standing up to POTUS the week before he drops indictments on coup conspirators 😂😂😂🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

PierreTABC You are not convincing anyone. The boy who cried Wolf!!!!

PierreTABC Fyi...it wasn't just trump tweeting and commenting. It was also the dems threatening Barr to resign or they will impeach

PierreTABC

PierreTABC Bullsh*t. It’s a smokescreen. He and his master are up to something.

PierreTABC

PierreTABC

PierreTABC What is his angle ? Why is he wanting to do interviews now ? Any thoughts?

PierreTABC Completely choreographed

Trump Praises Barr for ‘Taking Charge’ in Roger Stone CasePresident Trump praised Attorney General William Barr for “taking charge” of case against Roger Stone, weighing in on a controversy that started when the Justice Department moved to recommend less prison time for the president’s longtime confidant. That Mr. Trump inappropriately involves himself in investigations and prosecutions, and has Mr. Barr acting as his personal lawyer rather than as Head of the Justice Department strongly suggests that justice is wrongfully being manipulated. Trump: 'Thank you for your corruption, Bill Barr.'
