This is all such bullshit. Don’t believe a word of it:
“I’m not going to be bullied or influenced by anybody,” Mr. Barr said in an interview with ABC News. “And I said, whether it’s Congress, newspaper editorial board, or the president, I’m going to do what I think is right. I cannot do my job here at the department with a constant background commentary that undercuts me.”
Mr. Barr’s remarks were aimed at containing the fallout from the department’s botched handling of its sentencing recommendation for Mr. Trump’s longtime friend Roger J. Stone Jr., who was convicted of seven felonies in a bid to obstruct a congressional investigation that threatened the president.
Mr. Trump’s criticisms “make it impossible for me to do my job and to assure the courts and the prosecutors in the department that we’re doing our work with integrity,” Mr. Barr said.
He added, “It’s time to stop the tweeting about Department of Justice criminal cases.”
People close to the president said they were caught off guard by the interview.
Bullshit. Here’s how you can tell:
Barr will keep his job. Guaranteed.
The more lenient recommendation that Barr imposed will not be rescinded. Or Trump will simply pardon Stone.
Finally, the media will fall over Barr praising him for his courage in standing up to the president. But everyone in DC knows what Barr really said:
“Next time, your Biglyness, please give me a call and I’ll just take care of it, ok?”
