They're At Each Other's Throats As Barr Is Angry At Trump Over Ukraine

[CatWoman]

AG Barr is angry at Trump after the president treated him like his personal lawyer and roped him into the Ukraine scandal.

The AP reported:

Trump repeatedly told Ukraine’s president in a telephone call that Barr and Trump personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani could help investigate Trump’s Democratic rival Joe Biden, according to a rough transcript of that summertime conversation. Justice Department officials insist Barr was unaware of Trump’s comments at the time of the July 25 call.

When Barr did learn of that call a few weeks later, he was “surprised and angry” to discover he had been lumped in with Giuliani, a person familiar with Barr’s thinking told The Associated Press. This person was not authorized to speak about the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.

Donald Trump has always wanted to make the Department of Justice his personal legal team. William Barr should not be angry or surprised that he was treated as such in the Ukraine scandal. Barr sold his soul to Donald Trump.

As the impeachment pressure is growing the White House has turned into a circular firing squad with Giuliani bringing down Secretary of State Pompeo, and Barr angry at Trump.

The Trump White House is sinking and the rats are blaming each other as Trump’s presidency is going under.

1. Man sells soul, expresses anger at being "used."

[RockRaven]

8. If Barr didn't want Trump to include him in a criminal conspiracy, he should not have

helped Trump cover up his prior criminal acts. What else is Trump supposed to believe but that Barr is game for more criminality? He's got no one to blame but himself. Seriously, not even Trump, just himself.

[Iliyah]

2. Who care . . . .

I hope they take each out.

[milestogo]

3. Aw gee, poor Barr.

[rusty quoin]

10. Poor baby

[C_U_L8R]

4. Did this come from Barr's pr team?

Seems he's trying hard to craft a story that he had nothing to do with Trump's crimes.

[BigmanPigman]

9. Sure seems like he is doing damage control.

[Duppers]

33. He fears this is really going down.

Nice to see them sweat.

[klook]

32. LOL, no shit.

This asshole has been down for the whole thing. Just like he was up to his neck in the Iran-Contra lies and distortions.

Barr is nothing but a craven Republican fixer with no moral compass.

[tanyev]

5. Man who desperately wanted to work for the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party

never thought the Chief Leopard would eat HIS face.

60. 'STDs' - nice filup

[elleng]

6. About damn time, but barr should as hell should have known.

Self-centered FOOL.

[Poiuyt]

7. I didn't think Barr had any scruples or ethics

[dchill]

40. He doesn't, but he plays one on TV.

[struggle4progress]

11. "Don't mention the Consigliere over the phone! Capisci?"

[gratuitous]

12. Oh, give me a fucking break

William Barr knew what he was signing on for when he agreed to be named Attorney General. Jeff Sessions didn't quite grasp that he was supposed to be Donald Trump's personal lawyer as Attorney General, and followed DOJ guidelines by recusing himself from the Russia investigation. Trump never got over that, wanted Sessions to "unrecuse" himself (which isn't really a thing any more than "presidential harassment" is a thing), and get cracking as Trump's personal lawyer and use the FBI as Trump's personal private investigators.

If Barr is only now starting to figure all this out, he'd have to have "left" and "right" stamped on his shoes. And I don't think Barr is that stupid. He's floating this "I'm angry" trial balloon to see who buys it.

[dalton99a]

13. +1.

[dchill]

41. Exactly. Don't forget his 40-page application memo.

[SWBTATTReg]

14. I think Barr knew all along what is going on...he didn't expect the extreme negative reactions...

to rump's crap though...thus this is why now he's trying to CYA. Too late. He's forever tied to rump and his corrupt regime. Forever.

[tblue37]

15. Barr is oh, so innocent and angry?

https://m.

[demsocialist]

16. I love it

you lie down with dogs you wake up with fleas.

[bdamomma]

17. You wonder

if Barr was involved with Jeffrey Epstein's untimely death.

[MerryBlooms]

18. He's a trump bootlicker and that's been his only job since day one.

[flibbitygiblets]

20. Then don't lie down with dogs, asshole.

What is with this neverending stream of people who think to themselves "yes, everyone ELSE who gets within 5 feet of Tronald J Dump has been debased, thrown under the bus and/or brought up on charges...but I just KNOW it will be different with ME!"

[William Seger]

21. You worked for Trump. Getting used comes with the job, tool

[tclambert]

22. Who would have ever thought if you worked for Trump, you might get in trouble

with the law? Answer: Every frackin' body.

[Initech]

23. Who needs butter? I've got plenty!

24. the pig got up and slowly walked away

One evening in October
When I was about one-third sober
And was taking home a load with manly pride
My poor feet began to stutter
So I lay down in the gutter
And a pig came up and lay down by my side

Then we sang "It's All Fair Weather"
And "Good Fellows Get Together"
Till a lady passing by was heard to say
She says, "You can tell a man who boozes
By the company he chooses"
And the pig got up and slowly walked away

Yes, the pig got up and slowly walked away
Slowly walked away, slowly walked away
Yes, the pig got up and he turned and winked at me
As he slowly walked away

[Perseus]

27. What a brilliant poem

Is it yours, or where is it, whose is it?

[Generic Other]

35. My favorite song my dad used to sing

(rough version)

Frank Crumit - 1934

Dad used to sing it when he had what he referred to as a snootful.

[CanonRay]

25. Well fucking boo hook Barr

Lie down with dogs get up with fleas

[Perseus]

26. I have a hard time believing Barr didn't know, but...if its true

The question to be asked is...Knowing that everyone and everything that gets close to the creature turns to shit, that people turn to shit they are rolled under the bus, although to be clear anyone who decides to cozy up to the creature are already shit, but nonetheless, knowing that, what makes them think they will never have a turn? That they are so special the creature will, for the first time in his life, show loyalty to them.

I mean, Barr went to law school, became a judge, an AG, so he is no dummy, that he is a crook we all agree, but the guy is supposed to have a brain...what made him think that he was something special that he would not be "taking care of" by the creature on some way or another?

Anyway, I don't believe he was caught by surprise, he is in it too, but if he did and now he is angry? GOOD!, I hope he is drinking Maalox.

[SergeStorms]

39. You don't have to be intelligent to be a judge.

Not even a Supreme Court Judge. Exhibit: Clarence Thomas. All you need to be is semi-literate and kiss the ass of every superior you work for. A trial thrown here, a judgement thrown out there, and the next thing you know you're wearing a black robe and asking Antonin Scalia, "what should I think? What would make you happy"?

[Pluvious]

59. Does this mean he'll be canceling the $30,000 tribute to his BLOTUS ?

All's not swell in Mudsville

[bahrbearian]

28. Great

[greatauntoftriplets]

29. They're all a bunch of snowflakes.

[dweller]

49. f'n toadie

bigly uncomfortable now that the aqua in the pot has reached slow boil,
he's tendering, and when that pot is dumped under the bus tires, he'll be flattened and dried by the sun to a sailtoad... womp womp

grandad of twins here
✌🏼

[greatauntoftriplets]

50. He's one of the worst mistakes in American history, if not the worst.

Multiples are fun, though a lot of work for the parents. My other niece has twins. Enjoy your twins!

[patphil]

30. I do believe Barr was caught unawares by this, but what you are seeing now are just crockadile tears

He's just pretending to be angry at Trump, to give himself a little credibility while he decides how to spin it.
He went all in with the preliminary Mueller Report and hasn't backed off even the slightest bit through all the crap he has had to wade through every day as "Trump's Roy Cohn".
Barr knows Trump well, and is prepared to go down with his ship. I don't expect him to give Trump up no matter what.
He has already said that he doesn't care how history views him.

Patrick Phillips

[dchill]

44. "...doesn't care how history views him." Unless...

history's view is of a prison cell.

[ecstatic]

58. Let's hope that's what happens.

I'm so sick of trump's band of criminals. Lock ALL of them up!

[lunasun]

31. At each other's throats Barr was angry Hmmm sure i guess they can say whatever

?s=21

[certainot]

34. barr is such a dumbshit for thinking trump would do anything other than screw up

he was probably thinking he could finally make it to the supremes

[ffr]

36. Of course they're eating their own.

Nancy Pelosi masterfully drew tRump into her wheelhouse.

Their nuts are in a ringer and she's going to fuck them up!

[Nitram]

37. Just what Barr deserves for his kiss-ass violations of his oath of office. He is the people's

attorney, not the president's. All the lickspittle sycophants are going to get just what they deserve,

[SergeStorms]

38. Oh yeah, sure.

After Barr lied to everyone about the Mueller investigation we're supposed to believe he's totally independent from Trump, and not his errand boy? Barr hasn't told the truth about anything so far, so why would we believe him now? And I suppose that $35,000 party at Trump's hotel wasn't another attempt to crawl further up his ass, right?

Up yours, Barr. You're going down with Trump and all of your GOP co-conspirators. Playing Mr. Law and Order now isn't going to cut it. You chose to lay down with that rabid dog Trump, now don't complain when you come home with fleas and rabies.

[SCantiGOP]

42. Barr might have a pardon guarantee

But Trump can’t protect his law license. Being disbarred for unethical behavior is not the best way to end your legal career.

He can put “Attorney General” on his bio, but we can put “disgraced” in front of it.

[not fooled]

43. ...

"AG Barr is angry at Trump after the president treated him like his personal lawyer and roped him into the Ukraine scandal."

...rope-a-dope...

[ooky]

46. Tillerson's laughing.

He warned everyone on his way out.

[mudstump]

47. I'm not buying this story...no...

When you act like Trump's personal attorney then you get the consequences of that. You can't have it both ways.

[aggiesal]

48. I'll bet that Barr doesn't ask for ...

his deposit back for his Christmas Party for Donnie-2-Scoops.

[Captain Zero]

51. They are forming a circular firing squad

I say we let them. I say we encourage them.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

52. Lie down with dogs, get up with fleas.

So many of these fools have signed on with Trump, thinking they wouldn't get pulled into the sewer, and then they do. Every damn time.

[The Genealogist]

53. These people all need a mid-sized city's transportation system

to have enough buses for all of them to fit under. The pack of jackals are turning on one another. Good.

[Hotler]

56. Good! nt

[ecstatic]

57. Why would Barr be angry, considering he swept all the complaints

from the whistle blower under the rug AND possibly partnered with the State Dept to open a fresh investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails? Did he not think he'd be roped into a scandal after doing scandalous shit? These motherf%^^ are crazy AF!
