McConnell: "if AG says it is getting in way of him doing his job-maybe potus should listen to AG"

[kpete]

Baier: Do you have a problem with the president's tweeting as well?

McConnell: "If the Attorney General says it is getting in the way of him doing his job, maybe the president should listen to the Attorney General."

8. Oddly, trump hasn't tweeted for four hours......

imagine that

[Dennis Donovan]

10. The best part is NO one is buying it!

Especially those left in the DoJ on the verge of a massive mutiny.

[GoCubsGo]

3. Kabuki theater at its finest.

Fuck off, Mitch. Do your own damn job, for a change. No one is buying your act.

[Aviation Pro]

5. Maybe you should fuck off, Moscow Mitch

Or better yet, let Lt. Col. Amy McGrath tell you to fuck off, Private Turtlefuck.

[spanone]

6. Mitch is such a mealy-mouthed chickenshit.

[Ferrets are Cool]

7. Fuck you, enabling traitor

[kentuck]

9. McConnell is similar in personality to AG Barr...

They both believe themselves independent of any outside pressure. Trump believes they both work for him. It is a clash of egos. Trump will bide his time to get revenge on both for crossing him. Also, he knows that Mitch knows he cannot win his race in KY without Donald Trump behind him.

17. He was of no help in the Governors race. n/t

[kentuck]

22. But Matt Bevin was a special case of crazy.

He pissed off a lot of people. They hated him. That was the only race the Republicans lost, by the way.

[gratuitous]

11. Not buyin' it for a second

Every bit as staged as a pro wrestling "feud."

[kentuck]

14. I believe it is mostly "real"...

...why bring Mitch into the show?

Trump has given both Barr and McConnell room to do their own thing, more or less. At least, they thought they were doing their own thing.

Both are the type of personality that values their "reputation", whatever they perceive it to be? Mitch likes to be known as the "grim reaper". Barr is independent and the man in charge. Don't try to force him to do something he doesn't want to do.

[gratuitous]

16. I hope my skepticism is misplaced

Much as I'd like to see a Captain America/Winter Soldier/Iron Man battle to the death among these three miscreants, I don't think it's going to happen.

[kentuck]

23. Mitch is trying to be the referee...

...he thinks he is the leader of their Party. Trump may back down and not say anything about McConnell but, in my opinion, he may want Barr gone for some reason. He may not be as malleable as he hoped he would be?

[DeminPennswoods]

12. This will just make Trump tweet more

to "show 'em" who's boss.

[Thomas Hurt]

13. Mealy mouth McConnell...how does he have the ability to speak...

when he is attached to Trump's @## like a remora.

[SWBTATTReg]

15. Maybe it's beyond hope, but perhaps cracks are developing in the wall between rump

and the Senate republicans? Maybe rump is going a little too far for them even in his outlandish and boorish behavior in trying to influence the courts? Maybe, just maybe...

Or perhaps they realized the magnitude of their missteps in acquitting rump and now are seeing him in his stained glory and bad paint job on the face?

[coti]

19. No, they're just telling him to keep the corruption quieter nt

[struggle4progress]

29. +

[Blue Owl]

18. Oooooh, that's some Susan Collins-level reprimanding right there

[riversedge]

21. best response for this thread. yes. it. is and you are spot on.

[The Genealogist]

20. Did Sue Collins open up an acting school?

God, these people can't act worth two hoots in a rain barrel. They must have studied under Sue Collins.

[mfcorey1]

24. You all are not fooling anyone with this crap!

[Zolorp]

25. TRANSLATION: "Look boss, just shut ya trap and let Bah Crime in piece. He's doin' yah biddin'"

[apcalc]

26. Well,

maybe Barr should start doing the job the Taxpayers pay him for, instead of being Dotard’s cabana boy.

[gopiscrap]

27. Fuck Turtle

[Midnightwalk]

28. They don't say stop interfering with the doj

They say stop tweeting about it

[LiberalFighter]

30. If they were honest. They would not be doing this in public.

[pansypoo53219]

31. SHHHHHHH, you are making barr look bad.

[Talitha]

33. It's rehearsed, just like that 'wrestling' crap my neighbor's kids watch.

The wrestlers and these guys are all the same... a bunch of blowhards spewing fake arguments but all the while they make sure they posture well for the cameras. And the damned M$M eats it up like ringside peanuts.
