Why AG Bill Barr's Trump 'rebuke' is so hard to take seriously

interpretation, which suggests Barr's apparent rebuke wasn't a sincere effort to restore propriety to the federal justice system, but rather, was the attorney general's way of telling the White House that Trump is making it more difficult for Barr to corrupt the federal justice system.

Even stripped of all context, taking the attorney general's words at face value is difficult given his strained credibility andBut the closer one looks, the more difficult it is to take the attorney general's apparent concerns seriously. Barr said yesterday that he's finding it difficult to do his"job," which necessarily raises the question of exactly what he considers his job to be.

Barr appears to have intervened in multiple cases in order to help the president and his associates. The more Trump brags about this, the bigger the controversy, and the harder it is for the attorney general to keep helping the president and his associates. By this reasoning, Barr wants Trump to stop tweeting about the Justice Department and ongoing criminal proceedings because. The attorney general wants his actions to unfold in the shadows, and the tweets make the entire scheme obvious.

For Barr, Trump's tweets are not themselves the problem. It's the effects of the tweets that are the problem.

MaddowBlog ....because it doesn’t fit your BS narrative.

MaddowBlog Not serious. I feel he thinks average Americans are stupid. It's easy to see that he does what ever the president wants, no matter how unethical. the interview was all a ploy to convince us otherwise. Not buying it!

MaddowBlog Barr is a big time Trumper and a liar! Remove!

MaddowBlog Barr looks like a child being chastised by a harsh parent in this pic. Guess he has no pride to stand up the Bully. Barr is doing bidding of 45, not fooled by his words.

MaddowBlog Oh, now he’s signaling “talk to the hand”.

MaddowBlog Yes master.

MaddowBlog Obama and Eric Holder gun runners is ok 🤣🤣🤣

MaddowBlog When Barr and Trump start agitating for a Constitutional amendment to remove term limits on the president, it's time for the revolution to start.

MaddowBlog Seems to me like LowBarr and MoscowMitch are being at least halfway serious. Ask any criminal, if your buddy is on social media talking about the crimes you're trying to commit, it makes it a lot harder to get away with it.

MaddowBlog Barr and Trump is another reason for the decline in America's justice but not the root cause. The ones that claims to justice is .ore likely to abuse justice. Remember, ever Apple has a seed unless it's engineered by a artificial motive. Be real O' fake face!

MaddowBlog Barr is the faithful hatchetman to Trump's Caligula for profit. Both want to destroy American democracy and are enemies of all in America. VoteBlue

MaddowBlog Barr looks like a whipped dog! He’s bowing to trump the king of the republicans.

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.
