Pres. Donald Trump fired off several retweets that seemed to support calls from conservative allies that Barr should “clean house” at the DOJ.

"There must be JUSTICE. This can never happen to a President, or our Country, again!," the president said as he quote retweeted a post from GOP Rep. Lee Zeldin who claimed that there are"high expectations that the Justice Dept will very soon deliver transparency & ACCOUNTABILITY regarding DOJ/FBI officials who weaponized the awesome powers at their disposal in order to target the Trump campaign."FILE PHOTO: U.S.

"I’m allowed to be totally involved," Trump said."I’m actually, I guess, the chief law enforcement officer of the country. But I’ve chosen not to be involved.” Several of Trump's retweets came from Tom Fitton, president of the conservative activist group Judicial Watch. Fitton claimed on Twitter Tuesday that Trump was “the victim of a seditious conspiracy” by the Justice Department and FBI in terms of the investigation into the presidents 2016 presidential campaign and its connection to Russia.

Why bother about this drama when you know the intent is for Barr to look credible?

They did say they were going to drain the swamp so we shouldn't be suprised, Donald is a man of his word even if they are simple ones. I just never thought they would be doing the witch hunting. This is like Salem all over again with the real victim being American politcs

If bar doesn't like it he has options. It's not like he didn't know of trump in his twittering before I took the job. SMH I'm pretty sure this is just fake news anyway

Trump's parents couldn't have done a worse job as parents, created a true evil monster.🐳

So... he should have cleaned house when elected. I think he kept them to try to work together look at what happened...

IMO This WH & DOJ is Corrupt. Trump & Barr need to go!

No phone for a month 😲 big fat baby

We all have though......millions of us.

I hope the people that support this realize that at some point a democratic president will be in the WH and will want to abuse his powers as well. Will you be on board with this?

Starting with his boss, the President!

Just a casual purge.

Granted he wasn't there, but this should have happened 3 years ago

Swamp dwellers don’t like clean environments though.

Who cares obama needs to be prosecuted

Its so much easier for the President to lie on twitter than have to answer questions in person

After the GOP did his bidding 45 now feels invincible and above ALL... but God can make him reevaluate his situation and humble him rather quickly if he's not careful. godiswatchingus

'Defy Barr's warnings' I don't think presidents answer to AGs.

These crooks

He should.

Americans should 'clean house' at the White House. There are some deplorable people who have been couch surfing there during the last 3 years.

If Barr can't MAN UP, FIRE HIM. RaiseTheBar

Seemed?

... AND HE MUST!

Yes he should

Americans need to clean house. VoteThemAllOut

Starting with Barr
