Thank you for your comment. Your comment will be published after being reviewed.

OHHH Please AG Barr, do you REALLY think we can't see through this cover-up comment of yours 🤡

In other words: it's harder to cover up for Trump when he keeps snitching on himself via Twitter

Really

My mother hit harder than that. Just more GOP theater for their base and to distract the rest of sensible Americans.

Wink wink!

😂🤣😂😮😬

I can't wait for the Judiciary committee to eviscerate this scumbag!!!!

To quote realDonaldTrump “Bulls—-t.”

BS. What he means is Trump’s tweeting blew his cover.

Total BS, and once again, MSNBC falls for it. 🤦‍♀️

It makes it impossible for him to do despicable things in the dark.

He meant he won’t be able to destroy the DOJ in the dark of night. Damn, trump can’t help himself.

It's just a guess, but Trump has worn out the Barr doormat and he's ready for a fresh AG. Bye, Barr!

Fake, pre-planned. This cons the people paying attention. SAD FACT maddow joescarborough congress

🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥

Bollox. Listen to your own contributors. Matt Miller has explained what is going on here, and it isn't Barr swiping Trump!

FAKE conserned!

He won’t listen to you, senators, or anyone else .... y’all created this

Am I the only one who thinks Barr really is saying “Boss ... I got your back ... stop saying the quiet parts out loud?”

Read between the lines! He is giving himself permission to counter journalists and do what he (&Trump) pleases!

No he didn’t. This is called damage control. Nothing changed, he interfered and he is Trumps mouthpiece.

So when is Barr getting fired

Easy fix. BarrResign

Just call it what it is ...... BULLSH!T

Such a tough guy

AG Barr public admonishment of Trump is to little, too late.Barr has lost control of the Justice Dept. And if Barr had any respect for the Justice Dept.Barr would resign, But Barr only interest is protecting Trump, and he can as AG of the Justice Dept.

The President knew he was going to say so it didn’t hurt his feelings. All Barr did was say back off so I am not criticized for doing your dirty work.

Great...but seems way to little, way too late.

Staged.

Smoke and mirrors... All part of the show. Don’t fall for it.

Well, when your interpretation of your job require you to be sneaky and conniving and underhanded.....

Don’t believe his about face He’s still a pawn for trump.

Barr is a whining baby, and lies to try to save his reputation, he does everything Trump asks

Bullshit.

Now do Jr. What a childish bunch of conmen. 🙄

Well, that's believable. Sure.

Easy solution, resign or recuse yourself Barr.

if the AG agwilliambarr actually believed what he was saying, he would rescind his light and unfair sentence for a criminal immediately and would stop the investigation into the Bidens immediately... but this is just a hoax and a lie.

Presumably because his job is to protect the president at any cost.

In other words, 'You're making it hard for me to do your dirty work! Stop letting everyone know what we are doing!

Well isn’t that convenient.

🙄

The great con continues!

Barr is LYING again! He is telling Liar-in-Chief to stop tweeting - he has everything under control. No need for Trump to make it public. Disgusting. firetheliar.com

STOP THIS NONSENSE!!!! Barr is another Stooge and the BS media have a responsibility to do more

I bet it does Bill...😉

Barr knows his ass will be on the hot seat on March 31! He will be grilled by members of Congress for his actions in the Roger Stone case! Nothing but BS coming from William Barr! These criminals awoken a sleeping giant and now running scared! Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary!

Then he should quit.

Such BS,and people are supposed to believe this?

It’s all BS. Trump and Barr are in on this together playing good cop, bad cop. In this instance it’s bad cop, bad cop.

Oh, I think AG Barr is doing his job. This phony swipe at Trump* is part of his job.

BaRR isn't fooling anyone. He is afraid of when trump doesn't get reelected, he won't have time to fix his legacy. You have passed the point of no return. There is no fixing your claim to you worked for a president, it will be you worked & supported a man baby tyrant.

Stop the propaganda. You know that t the traitor gave him permission to do this. Impeachment was spoken they needed to cover their arses, again. You in the media aren't helping anyone but you, make money, ratings.

Nonsense

Where were you when BarackObama publicly stated lies about Hillary ? Leftist selective outrage again

It's part of the con. By saying this, Barr makes it sound like Trump had nothing to do with the intervention on Stone's case. Notice Trump isn't attacking Barr after this 'admonishment'

BS

Don’t be fooled by Barrs statement....the clown needs him for all his corruption.they are both in it together

Fakers. Liars. realDonaldTrump and his Barr buddy. mobsters

Sure because his tweets are telling everybody how corrupt Barr really is. Too bad, too late, we already knew that but trumps tweets are evidence of such. DisbarBarrNow

All planned and staged 🙄

What a Joke. We know that you are doing everything that Trump wants

Come on, he’s just upset trump is putting their crimes in plain sight. Plus the principled prosecutors who resigned made him look really pathetic

He’s up Trumps butt

Bullshit

It’s a ruse. To the audience of one—he’s telling DJT to stop exposing their scheme.

Watch out barr you will be on his 'naughty list' and all hell will break loose.

🐍

🤣🤣🤣small violins playing, you made your bed, deal with it or quit

ABC got used!!

Poor little William Barr is frustrated because he’s knowingly doing inappropriate/illegal things for Trump & expects Trump to keep quiet about it. Trump, who revels in a perceived sense of entitlement can’t NOT tweet. How sad for you, W Barr. The whole world knows you’re corrupt

That’s very true statement however, most bosses make doing your job difficult but you do your job ,just the way you said you would. That’s what sets AG Barr apart from the previous two A G’s

Do your sneaky job of installing trump as a dictator? What position in his putinesque gov did he dangle in front of you? Gatekeeper of the concentration camps?

This is fake. Stop repeating this damn lie!

I’m sure Barr talked with trump first

I don’t believe him, and I think it’s a show! He is right up Trump’s a$$!

Trump and Barr are two of a kind. I have no respect for our President and our US Justice Department is a terrible, terrible JOKE. It will be good when they are both gone!

According to Bizarre Barr his 'job' is to protect Traitor Trump and his many criminal friends rather than enforcing the law without favoritism or bias. Of course Daffy Donald Trump thinks the law should never apply to him or his friends.

Orchestrated BS

TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP 2020

thousand_points He's setting his excuse! Stop reporting LIES focus on fact.

It’s all smoke and mirrors.

It’s a misdirection! A ploy to give the appearance of independence to the cult members.

TOTAL BS, I bet he ask Trump the Orange Clown first and this BS is a coordinated effort to try and switch the out cry for his resignation/ Disbarrment.

He’s lying

Too late now “fatty”. You’re made your bed.....now, lay down in it.

It’s all a shell game 😱

Staged bs....

This was planned and coordinated through the White House! realDonaldTrump didn’t like the bad press he was getting so they made this up!

Smoke screen. He's not that good of an actor. It's like Tom Hagen bailing Sonny out in the Godfather. Still gets shot.

Sure, it would be much easier if Trump just talked with him behind the scenes instead of tweeting out his every impulse. It doesn't change the fact that Barr is corrupt and only works in the interest of himself and Trump.

Basically he is upset because what he was doing in the shadows came to the light. Now he trying to normalize the behavior.

B never did his fn job

This FAKE NEWS: --- Both ATTORNEY GENERAL WILLIAM BARR and PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP have FREE SPEECH RIGHTS, but the the MAINSTREAM MEDIA is simply trying to pit them against one another!

I think he means impossible to protect him & his criminal cohorts.

Fake .....whos falling for this nonsense

It's a RUSE. For pete's (buttigieg) sake!

It's all fake.

No one believes this. This is exactly why Trump gets away with these things because you are so greedy that you would promote these lies as click bait rather than support our democracy. Garbage journalism.

It’s so hard to keep burying bodies when the boss keeps pointing out that you’re burying bodies. Just makes the job impossible! OnTyranny

Exactly, Barr is a fair, justice is blind & the facts speak for themselves man. Those who cannot see his true character are not blind, they are a culture increasingly indifferent to the truth.

Barr has been doing his job?

He’s so full of shit.

I don't trust anything he saying he cahoots with Trump.

MSM is getting played and you all fall for it hook line and sinker. Main stream media has become so lame little analysis or judgement goes into reporting just a stream of daily “breaking” CNNPolitics wolfblitzer JoeNBC NicolleDWallace CBSNews ABC chucktodd

Plea bargain?

Drama.

Not buying it!!

Well, Barr is going to be terminated this weekend

I doubt Barr is taking a swipe at Trump. He’s just trying to make us think he’s actually doing the job he’s supposed to do, but what he means is he’s trying to do his job protecting the president

BS! Planned by tRump & Barr to make us think “things will change”!

Theater. They’re like peanut butter and jelly.

I would like to ask AG Barr- can he show us examples of when this was done in the recent past? Based on the reports from the prosecutors, never!

He's lying

It is called damage control. Barr is covering his and his boss's butts in case of an impeachment investigation.

He's lying, like Trump....or is it for Trump?

Trust me, up to no good

Doesn't Barr know his reputation was shredded a long time ago! No one believing what he's selling! Who would believe this crook?

Anyone believe this liar? Anyone?

Too little too late for anyone to trust that he intends to “do his job,” but this will probably anger Trump...

and the Oscar goes to

If AG Barr can't act independently from this president he should resign. He nor his staff can do their jobs properly when they are under the thumb of this president. Plain and simple.

That’s part of the problem. First, you have to be doing your job, which you are not!

Then resign

The American people have lost confidence in AG Barr and in the Dept. of Justice. The DOJ enforces federal criminal law in the United States. This starts from the top down. If the Rule of Law is not upheld in the executive branch how can you then enforce the laws? BarrResign

This is not a swipe at Trump at all. This is Barr setting the con like a fisherman setting the hook. Don’t be taken in.

AGBarr trying to 'cover his ass'........lying to try to keep in good grace with SenateGOP . ACTIONS speak louder than WORDS.

Finally or is this just for show we all know Trump will pardon Roger Stone.

Matter of time Trump is distroying this Country

Barr can’t do his job of covering up for the president if the president keeps tweeting he did it.

Trump said he was not bothered by the tweet.

Barr is doin a Collins. Where they shake your hand with their left as they stab ya with their right. His victim behavior is to deflect shitstorm going his direction because of his dirty deeds

Wonder if this was Trump’s idea to take some of the heat off Barr? Barr can SAY anything... it’s the ACTIONS that speak louder.

Jesus. He did this before. Stoppppppppppppppppp.

Barr...you make it impossible to do your job

They are probably in cahoots

🐂💩

Interesting remark he made about Stone's conviction

Gimmie that feather, I’m gonna hit him again!

Sadness. Truly. Hearts going out to you muffin.

He means stop drawing attention to the illegal things he is doing.

crapola

*performance art*

No, it's making it hard for him to do it secretly

All an act.

I say BS to Barr. He’ll do whatever Trump wants him to do.

I THINK IT'S A BULLCRAP ACT I DON'T TRUST piggy barr

Don't be fooled by Attorney Triple Chins.

Bla Bla Bla, Barr

Resign now!

healingtouch221 MSNBC, can we please stop giving this bologna airtime

Just blah blah barr; he just wants 45 to stop tweeting in public what they have discussed in private.

Don't fall for it. gtconway3d

And the Oscar goes to... not you.

This is smoke up our ass. He is goin b to say trump didn’t tv request it cause there is no proof

Please tell me, anyone, what am I not seeing with this whole Barr thing that the news outlets seem to be buying. Why would Barr go on non-Fox news and discipline Trump? They colluded, this is scripted or he would’ve been fired!

Yeah, Trump put a light on how corrupt you are in moving what Trump wants done!

And if u believe this con I got a bridge to sell you.

According to NoahWebster1828Dictionary, the AttorneyGeneral is an officer appointed to manage business for the king, the state or public; and his duty InParticular is to prosecute persons GuiltyOfCrimes. IAmConfused in2020!!!

Please!!! Who is falling for this?

The American people are losing confidence in AG Barr and in the Dept. of Justice. The DOJ enforces federal criminal law in the United States. This starts from the top down. If the Rule of Law is not upheld in the executive branch how can you then enforce the laws? BarrResign

Game playing. Connected at the hip to Dump.

He just wants to do tRumps bidding in private so he’s not exposes as a total lackey. He doesn’t give a shit about the law just power and money.

Lol Barr is a toad, he’s doing what trump want just wants trump to keep quiet so it doesn’t bring more attention to what their plans are.

Admonishment? Please 😂

AG Barr leave the smart ass tricks out. You are very good at not doing your job. You don't need any help from the mafia boss in the WH

He talking about everyone else.

You’re feeding right into Trump and Barr’s narrative. The story isn’t Barr standing up for the JD, the story is the collusion to change the outcome of a trial. Do better!!!

Nope he is all in on this just doing some CYA. 45consigliere

Boo freaking hoo! You’ve become so dishonest no one cares what you say! Eventually the truth will be known!

He knows Trumps reign will come to an end and he’s trying to protect himself .

This is BS!

Ha ha😜

It was more like a suggestion.

“I can’t do your dirty work, Donnie, if you tell everyone that I’m doing your dirty work!!! FFS!”

So staged.

Quote him correctly. Again snipping it to make a left leaning statement.

No one with a brain believes this crap.

He’s trump puppet so it doesn’t matter what he says afterwards

Hardly sounds like a REAL problem for this Disney hero character....it's all part of the plan!

Ohhhhhh Billy! Doing a cya for your lost integrity by giving Donny a slap on the wrist.. D'Ya believe we cynics bought that?!!

Smoke screen

Please view these statements by Barr with skepticism. Unless his 'job' is to cover for and protect Trump and needs to do it on the down-low without Trump blathering on about it on twitter...

Just confirms the fact that there is no secret back-channel for White House and DOJ. Barr has to go on TV to send Trump a message.

Horse dooky. These buffoons are trying to play us.

oh bull$hit - you people need to get a grip - kabuki theater & you report it like fact - STOP IT, trump stooges.

Total BS! ResignBarr

Barr saved Trump. Barr owns him now.

Don’t be fooled by Barr, he’s lying.

He's full of it. He just doesnt want to look bad in the public's eye. 🖕

So do the right thing and resign.

what made it impossible for him to do his job prior to the realDonaldTrump tweets?

Carefully measured. Not a swipe 🙄

I can't believe I am saying this, but Barr makes Jeff Sessions look like a good attorney general and Sessions was horrible.

no Barr did not, he’s too much of a coward to...

Why the need to say 'takes a swipe'? Just report and analyze what actually happened. It is a worthy story. You choose to feed red meat to your dwindling base, when you could expand your audience.

Phony acting as a red shirt.

Stop playing Americans like fools lock Stone up for 10 + years

Hahaha! Are we suppose to believe this junk being fished out? I’m not eatin’ it!!!!🤢

Pfffft!

More smoke and mirrors!!! Barr is not to be trusted, and should be removed as head of the DOJ, before it’s too late.

It’s BS. Barr is playing his part in the Trump shit-show. Watch what they do, not what they say.

He’s pissed that dumbkoff Trumpkoff is letting the cat out of their crooked bag. 🤪

Damn he fails acting 101!

Whatever! He's corrupt .lisamurkowski

Looks like political theater!

What exactly is his job. To do the work for Trump, hmm

His been there a year I haven’t seen anything out of that office yet. No indictments ?

Poor thing, maybe he needs a little of love from trump too.

Really,,,, that's not what I heard.

Admonishment, schmonishmemt,,,.

Y’all going for the bait smh

Ya ok.

You left your previously good reputation in the trash heap of history known as the Trump Administration.

If you believe Barr!

Utter garbage comes from his toxic shell of a man

Fake news!

Resign or shut up cause no one is falling for your BS

Barr cannot carry out the Dump’s orders with impunity unless the Dump can’t shut his pie hole. We aren’t lobotomized!!

I don't believe anything he has to say. All of this is in the game plan.

It's all bull. His feigned anger on tv is theater, acting as if he is really upset over trump. That's smokescreen. If he didn't say something even MAGAts might notice that Barr is complicit. He is complicit. They can now pretend Barr is just trying to do His job.

Who believes this?

Ag barr is corrupt yo the the core.... karma eventually will catch him... hope it’s long and slow when she does

My thought is that Barr is running a con here, he's just trying to relieve some of the pressure building in the DOJ.

Why you even reporting this FAKE news!

Not buying it. You wanted the job Billy.

Ooh look. Another dog and pony show. Yippee!

He's full of you know what, full of it. He pretends to be innocent.

Trump is a whistle blower, leaker he should be exposed to the public. What a joke!!

But he’s doing the job Trump wants him to so there’s that

Oh please this was obviously a propaganda ploy. The indifferent reaction from both Trump & LindseyGrahamSC just confirms it. Has the media learned nothing? Way to be complicit in propaganda with your softball interview abcnews FascistTrump GOPPropaganda BarrMustGo

Pathetic ResignAG

Impossible for you to do your job What job is that? Doing what tRump tells you to do?

Media a total failure. Barr peddles bullshit and pimps it

He 🙇‍♀️ bow 🙇 to TRUMP like a King 🤴 Barr is Trump’s servant

Watch what Republicans do, not what they say.
