IVANKA please hold intervention for your pappy. Aren't you worried about him? He needs his children to help him now. Politics aside.

He wants to be a king okay your the lying 🤥 king 🤴

I don't understand and US officials suggesting the the President must give up his constitutional right to free speech on any matter...especially the lead law officer of our country...all citizens have the freedom of speech on Twitter or anywhere else!

Remove them ALL 2020

Someone please collect the 3 million dollar bounty soon.

No he doesn’t!!!! The fool thinks he has rights above everybody else!!! No! No! This is the mind of a egomaniac dictator.😡😡😡😡

The POTUS has no concept of whats legal.

YOU ARE NOT A DICTATOR!!!!!

He’s a legal beagle! Go get em, Don. he seems to have plenty of time on his hands as he destroys everything decent.

Yeh. Trump thinks he is the senior partner in Trump and Barr law firm. AKA, DOJ.

Oink

HE DOESN’T CARE ABOUT LEGALITIES

Yeah FO! Js

Trump needs to go

He has

Are we really here arguing on weather the head of the executive has the right to intercede in affairs involving the executive branch.... Damn right he does!!!!!

HE JUST DOESN'T GET IT !

And EVERY GOP enabler agrees!

Dictator can do whatever he wants

Trump thinks he is king.

Aren’t you glad you voted for him.

realitytv They get off on playing games and taunting! 🖕 you both! realDonaldTrump attorneygeneral

No he doesn't have the right

He wouldn't do this... these are the actions of a dictator. Trump definitely ISN'T a dictator as far as I know.

We told you so.

To earn more money , Take Services from here:

Holy crap. He looks like a tangerine in this picture.

Ok, but now that he’s spent billions of tax payers dollars [not Mexico’s] how does trump plan to stop the tunnels underneath the wall... with even more tax payer dollars...

Trump has achieved many goals valuable to our nation’s future. If he’d shut up and stop being a confrontational narcissist, he’d be remembered as a great president. He can’t, and he won’t. What a shame.

Come on abc, you must know this was all bulls--t. They are terrible actors. And trump's done this before. Stop giving them a platform to spread their lies. Especially since you don't challenge them.

The question is why do Americans legitimize a criminal, anyone?

What?

He says it because Bill Barr is his Roy Cohn.

Who is this dudes advisor, do they all know nothing? This is the exact reason our founders created 3 branches. He can tweet but cant use google?

'Remember that I have the right to do anything to anybody.' Caligula

He's right. Republicans have crowned him King so he can do what he wants

Don’t waste time reading this. Wrestling is more authentic than this fake fight

just because hes president hes got the right to do anything he wants to, sounds like a spoiled brat

Yes he does but not when there is a conflict of interest....Plants are a true source to healing as they offer natural medicinal properties to help treat many skin ailments....

We must get Trump out of office. His interference and disregard for the laws is blatant. How do his followers not see this, or do they care? Are we headed for anarchy and civil war from the actions of this buffoon?

Ok, if this Trump reply to Barr is true his days are numbered as the attorney general!!

Just normalizing breakages

It's on now! Lol

This. Is. Make. Believe.

Don’t fall for the con, Trump and Barr discussed this ploy

Please quit playing this up like this some rift instead of a sham.

REMEMBER THIS! WHEN HE WINS IN NOVEMBER ALL THOSE WHO BROKE THE LAW AND LIED ARE GOING TO BE LOCKED UP! PAY BACK IS A BITCH! REMEMBER.

He is a criminal

sadly we live in an era where every word is broadcast to the masses. The Right to do a thing does not mean it is prudent ... 'It is better to be silent and thought a fool then to speak out and be proven one' ... there is wisdom in know when to shut up .. js...

I really wish he would fall on a knife or something. He is fcking EXHAUSTING!!!

They should have removed trump he’s going to continue to cause chaos

Ain't nobody believing this fake a$$ lovers quarrel

Don’t fall for this. My God. Stop

No, but he has the right to remain silent. And he has the right to a lawyer.

This sounds soooo illegal.

Why are they discussing it? They need to get crackin.

The man who doesn’t know how to close an umbrella thinks he knows the law...

Oh thats right Trump is above the law so that gives him the right. And Republicans in Congress have given him the green light!!!!!

He didn't 'push' anything. He tweeted. Barr didn't go against him. He was instructed too. You needed to do a better job 3 yrs ago. It doesn't look like you can. Shame on all media, playing the ratings game. Disgusting.

FAKE NEWS! POLITICAL THEATER!

Trump has that right...if he thinks he's in China or Russia...or Turkey.

He is correct

I’m old enough to remember when crooked Eric Holder called himself Obama’s wingman- and no one in mainstream media said a word.

Do President’s get to still pardon people?

Besieged AG Barr knocks Trump but still backs plot to help convicted Trump aideIn a rare rebuke, Attorney General Bill Barr admits Trump makes his job harder by tweeting, but still stands by helping convicted Trump aide, Roger Stone. MSNBC’s Ari Melber reports on why Barr is trying to quell the bipartisan firestorm over stepping in to “take charge” of the Stone case by reducing his sentence and why Barr is essentially saying he backs the plan but just don’t admit it on Twitter. lovetogive2 AriMelber You should let the BBCNews know this, as their reporting is channelling Lou Dobbs. AriMelber Why did bill Barr's father hire Jeffrey Epstein to teach children when Epstein didn't have a degree? Could Epstein have blackmailed the Barrs (father and son) into it back in the 80's? Does Trump now hold that blackmail? Is that why Epstein was 'suicided'? Hmmmm AriMelber This is a bit more like it. Earlier it was Barr v Trump. These crooks are all in the loop.
