Bill Barr critisizes Trump tweets about ongoing cases. Says it

Last edited Thu Feb 13, 2020, 06:17 PM - Edit history (1)

interferes with how he does his job. Says it undercuts the decisions he was going to make anyway. Does not say if Barr was influenced by Trump to start with. CNN

Possibility of walkout of more Justice Department employees. Also DOJ had one rec'd sentence, then Trump tweeted and they suddenly had another.

Barr says he will not be bullied by anyone including WH, Congress, etc.

So now he is being bullied. What a gaslighter.
