AG Barr told people close to President Trump that he considered resigning over the president’s continued messages on Twitter about the Justice Dept., according to an admin. official.

But in his remarks before leaving for the West Coast, Trump said he had"total confidence" in Barr."I think he's doing an excellent job. He's a strong guy."

The president also said, however, that social media gives him a voice he would not otherwise get through the news media.He said he has chosen not to interfere with Justice Department decisions, but he added:"I'm allowed to be totally involved. I'm actually, I guess, the chief law enforcement officer of the country, but I've chosen not to be involved."

Barr was at the White House on Tuesday for what an administration official said was a previously scheduled lunch with White House counsel Pat Cipollone.Pete Williams is an NBC News correspondent who covers the Justice Department and the Supreme Court, based in Washington.

I you have a a fraction of morality left file felony charges against the WH n tRump then resign. Let the real law do what’s right. Become the first witness for the prosecution against tRump.

Drama Queen. All for show. He’s just embarrassed by the transparency created by the monstrous spoiled child he works for. A career of power at the expense of personal, professional, & political honor/integrity? No concern for legal precedents he’s helping to set “for a king”?

Talk is cheap Mr Barr. If you don’t mean it don’t say it. AGBarr AGBarr

Bull.

Just a trick to take pressure of him !

If he has any self respect left which I doubt he will resign

Not the “unnamed sources” again. Why don’t you just say “we think maybe”? We all know that nobody told you anything about Barr’s feelings about the president. I’m trying to look back to remember when you crossed over to becoming a tabloid.

Smoke break talk.

This photo of the President says something.........just not sure what it says. Will have to think about it. If body language is a thing.........

Sounds like trumpproganda statements to try convince people they are sincere We are not fooled Want to convince me, resign!

🐂💩

Anyone buying these, reality-tv dramatics? This is an empty hollow threat, coming from 45pp✳️’s puppet. Bar deserves to be dishonorably discharged from serving any public office ever again.

Bullshit

He can leave anytime. If he has any self respect.

Not for a second do I believe this one!!!

That's a cover...it's not over Trump's tweets, it's over the whole bullshit of the impeachment +! Regardless, ide have no problem saying 'bye, later, see ya!' but not before the criminal is put to shame!

Always remember, Barr is an expert liar. He states complete fabrications with a sincere face.

AGBarrResign

Planned leak by tRump and Barr. Just another distraction from the dictator.

He’s lying...just like his boss.

Bill Barr

First, I never take anything from this bunch on face value. But maybe Barr sees what's comming and wants to duck for cover. But I am sure that's too much to hope for.

If Barr resigns I wonder what nickname drump will put on him.

More lies and propaganda...keep up the good work fake news!

Fake news.... AGAIN

Only believe it if it is done.More subterfuge from DOJ is more likely. What happened at SDNY why Rudy in the clear? More questions than answers with our purported leaders.

Fake news

Sick of Blond Hitler folks.

FakeNews it didn’t happen says Barr’s DOJ spokesperson. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Lol.....such and an act...

Oh well!

Why would 🐸IE Barr resign , MoscowMitch and subversive corrupt GOP would * install another toadie 🐸 to do what Barr's been doing , imposing Partison justice or lack of justice for lawless GOP and ImpeachedTrump ! EnoughGopCorruption ➡VOTE. Preferably BLUE 2020 ☝

Actions not words, bitch!

Is this one of their plans for him to be the VICTIM ?

“Bullshit,” replied America.

Barr. Resign. Tell donald to do the same.

Hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Can someone help with a small donation, trying to get my kids to school this week. Haven't been paid in a month and I don't have no where to turn. Anything helps! $POPularGrl on cashapp... THANK YOU!!!

Right...they’re getting very good with playing off each other...

This Is BS!! Barr Is Crooked Just Like Trump! He’s Fake!!!!

💩💩💩💩💩💩

Don’t believe it. Both have no credibility

look at what they do, not what they say.

The anonymous sources slander weaponized against Pres Trump by Democrat controlled media again. Name your sources or it isn’t a story. FakeNews

I see this Kabuki play continues. 🙄

Then resign, No one believes you. 🙄

Bullshit.

Please...this comedy schtick isn’t working

Just do it ResignBillBarr

Bullshit! The man is as much in trumps pockets as Lindsey and Mitch are, but not as much as trump is in Putin’s

This story is beyond parody, even the Onion won't touch it.

Oh-My-God-Omniabsolute=Gravitational-Constant: Hence I know both 'AG Barr & Pres. Trump' are both GEMINIS. So they got an assimilate personal. Yet AG Barr is Pres. Trump employee . Wherefore he wants be able to dictate to the POTUS . {I'm just saying, laughter & acumen}.

Trump is too daft and narcissistic to understand how much Barr helps his causes... or this is a planned/ manufactured/ only for show rift

Your source isn't credible.

Oh yeah... Then POTUS - open up hell with de Genova, Whittaker, teamed with Fitton, Gowdy, to NAME A FEW. back off Barr let him fight crime.. Stop the gossip. Too he said he would not be bullied by ANYONE.

Let's see who retracts first.

Don't consider: DO IT!!!

For the supporters

Don’t believe it for a second.

Fake News

He needs to resign!!! He’s lost perspective to The Justice system and he’s completely at Trump’s Beck and Call.! He’s left America behind in his own Pursuits!

FAKE NEWS.

More anonymous sources. Has NBC not learned yet that just making stuff up and crediting it to anonymous sources doesn't cut it any more? And only idiots on the far left believe such nonsense, and one by one they are leaving to join the Trump train. STOP LYING NBC! FakeNews

Sure.

Considered it but then decided against it?

Yeah right...😒

'Sources say...' good enough to run with.

As long as YOU believe it, that’s what counts.

Who’s waiting in the wings? Matthew Whittaker? Jeff Sessions want his old job back? Rudy Giuliani? Who could be worse than Barr, that’s who trump would hire as ACTING AG, so the wouldn’t need confirmation hearings.

Stop reporting this obvious scam as fact.

Barr won't resign, he is an enabler of Crime, & Trump is an expert in crime...that where Barr makes his career.

🤣😆👍

Debunked

Rumors

Hi

HE SHOULD AND NO ONE ELSE SHOULD ACCEPT THE JOB IN THE FUTURE

Bullshit

Tramp, left, struggles mightily to appear nonchalant as the back of his fright wig is hopelessly entangled in a wall sconce.

Fake News. No source named!

Left wing propaganda disgusting

Barr just found his leak

We wanted change not a King

is over

Total Bullshit!!! They’re in this together! Thick as the thieves that they are!!

Hahahahaha Hahahaha Hahahaha

I’ll believe it when I see it.

Bull$H!T.........

CNN, The Washington Post, and the AP reported on Tuesday night that AG Bill Barr was considering quitting because of President Trump’s tweets. Later in the evening Barr’s spokeswoman responded saying “The Attorney General has no plans to resign.” Does the MSM ever NOT lie?

I hope he does resign. He’s doing nothing but fucking over our country and decimating the rule of law

FakeNews !

Then, JUST FREAKIN DO IT! SO tired of all ya’ll’s BS!

Do it

NBC he's playing you for a fool

I don’t believe this for a second!

😂😂😂

Idiots.

fakenews

It's a ruse! Barr's a big boy, if he wanted to quit, he would've quit! Idontbuyit

Fake news.

Wishful thinking Libtards

The enemies of Trump leaking hearsay.

I don’t believe a word he says

FakeNews

“People close to...” and you present it as legitimate news- this is why your industry has zero credibility. We notice how these types of stories always seem to be used to attack Pres realDonaldTrump/Republicans but these anonymous source stories are never used with Democrats

'people'?... FakeNews ...

Fake news

Always people close however a few months back was there is nobody close

My ass he did.

He shouldn’t consider it, he should resign or be forced out.

Bullshit

I don’t believe it .. they lie so much

Gaslighting

Fake news

🐂💩

Right. This app s all staged to make it appear Trump and Barr aren’t working together to bend our legal system to their whims.

This has been deqbunked.

liberalfantasy FakeNews

Wow. This is a really bad reality TV script.

Hearsay

Did he

Not good enough. He must resign if people are to believe him.

He won’t be able to keep trump’s balls in his mouth if he resigns.

Trump's tweets were making it impossible to undermine the US Justice system. He needs to do that in the shadows, it is impossible with the president bringing attention to his actions.

Bullshit.

And I have a bridge to sell you in London!

Just leave Barr ! Show the country you got a spine. Call that barking clown up an tell him to“ Take That Job An Shove It ! “

What a load of shit.

He really didn't. He's Trump's obedient little puppy.

I will believe it when I see it. They are both Pathological Liars.

FAKE NEWS!

We don't accept this lie and pretense Barr. You should be disbarred.

Naaaahhhh.

Look at yall’s President standing there looking like an 8th Grader trying to be an adult ... smh 🤦‍♀️

Traitor!

Simply pathetic excuses. Yuma Arizona

Trump should shut the tweet up.

Yeah right, and I've got some beach front property in Arizona up for sale.

That’s ridiculous.... just do your damn job and stop bending over for the bullies ...

Ok but WheresWarren ?

He should go...

That was debunked before you posted this. How are you so bad at your jobs...it’s almost as if you are trying to deceive the gullible....oh wait, that’s exactly what you do!

It wasn’t the 2000 former DOJ’ers that signed the petition?

NBC is now the gossip channel, let me know when there's actually news on🙄

NBC employees told People that NBC News is not about News and helping and informing people about the Real News. Its all about SPREADING FAKE NEWS & PROPAGANDA, esp. against Trump Presidency. They also said they will one day resign and leave the channel.

That proves he is not exactly acting as Trump’s personal attorney and instead quite independent much to the chagrin of Maddow

I'll believe it when I see it. I still think this is all just acting to try and make it look like they are not working together hand in hand.

I call BS.

Anonymous sources! How many will go over a cliff with this one? Time to wake up and smell the fake news. ⏰

I’m selling a bridge, any takers

Lol I kept hearing how tough and able Barr was..if he quits because his Boss tweeted he is soft as baby shit

I doubt Barr would quit unless Comrade Trump forced him to.

Bullshit. NOTE TO BARR: Nixon’s AG John Mitchell, was found guilty of conspiracy, obstruction of justice, perjury & sentenced to two & a half to eight years in prison for his role in the Watergate break-in & cover-up, which he dubbed the 'White House horrors.'

It’s not news unless he does it

If only!!!!

Do it!

I don't believe this huge LIE. He acted on Trump's instructions just stage managing an alibi

Garbage. Stop whining & resign.

Don’t believe it for a second.

Bill Barr going for the gollllddd.

Horse hokey

Too bad he hasn't followed his first thoughts.

Trump and Barr Sitting in a tree...

If you believe this ....

I don’t believe that He loves having so much power

You all might want to take this one down

The moral of the story is to never plan a crime with an idiot like Trump.

FakeNews.... thanks

'Addressing Beltway rumors: The Attorney General has no plans to resign,' DOJ spokeswoman Kerri Kupec tweeted.

He’s going to tweet forever & a day. We all know it. AG knows it.

That highlights the real problem. Leakers in the administration. Ppl can't keep things to themselves. It's honestly sickening. Smh. They need to fire leakers. Ppl can't be trusted to keep their mouths shut.

fakenews

SmokeScreen

$UCKERS !

mmhmm sure

He should lose his law license

CONFIRMED IT KNOWS A 🐍

What is their source ?

EAGLES KNOW A 🐍

LIARS AND LUNATIC

What a bunch of bunk. Is Barr trying to look like he has some concern for the rule of law? Are we supposed to feel sorry for him? Even if he were to resign, his reputation will remain below the swamp floor. History will remember him & Trump-GOP senators and it won't be pretty.

lsos barr putting out complete bs, leaked to news media to manipulate the newscycle, to distract for ratings whores.

How naive are you NBCNews?

You believe that I got a bridge I wanna sell you.

Good. No let’s swear him in and start the legal proceedings...

No. He just wants to stop the backlash he's getting.

This is bullshit.

All for show. Barr won't resign unless impeached. White House orchestrated and scripted narratives by Barr.

Uh yeah sure another publicity stunt for the GOP

Sure he did.

No he didn’t, stop reporting this

Pff. Yeah right.

Bull!

👌

🐂💩

BULLSHAT! Everyone knows it!

Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah

He 'considered,' did he? That's almost like actually resigning.

Yeah right.

Yeah and I considered being a millionaire!

NBC News once again falls for weaponized leaks that were put out in an attempt to make it seem as though there is distance between Barr and Trump. Stop falling for the BS and reporting it, you only push administration propaganda when doing so.

Oooo, something shiny over here. 🙄

AGBarr days are numbered. Watch. That’s what POTUS45 is known for, firing people if they sway from his ruling, I mean leadership. Say adios.

Sorry, but this was called out for what it was.. BS, a short time ago.

Yeah right, at this point nobody will believe anything that comes out of Barr’s mouth. He is the same as Giuliani.

This is FakeNews.

Bullshit.

Ummm... this story was debunked as fabrication 30 minutes ago.

Yeah and Trump will start acting presidential 😂😂😂😂😂
