Barr Says Trump Tweets Make It ‘Impossible’ For Him To Do His Job

Doing his job must be tough. An edited version of the Mueller report. Covering for the most corrupt administration in a century. Having to deal with low moral at DOJ.
The same guy who went full Opus Dei lecturing about declining moral standards like we’re all morally deficient Americans.
Then he threatens certain communities claiming that they won’t let the police do their jobs if they complain about bad law enforce practices and if they won’t they’ll remove police protection from them as punishment. Jacoby and Meyers would be more competent.

Engaging in improper behavior is very difficult when your boss keeps bragging publicly about it.

He’s on the road to get fired and/or impeached/run out of office. Trump may be made of teflon. Barr is not.

I wish that democrats would stand up for their values and their causes the same way Trump and Barr do. Our courts are corrupt and stacked with rapists, republicans and christian conservative extremists. The genie is out the bottle, it is time to use it. We don’t have to passively watch the shit show, we have to leverage it our advantage. Don’t afraid to speak out against conservative and Republican judges decisions. The courts are a political tool right now and they have been weaponized with vile and unqualified folk.

Trump’s tweets make it impossible for Barr to do his job… which is to carry out his boss’s demands to pervert the rule of law in secret, without scrutiny.
