Over the last two weeks, liberals have been calling for Attorney General Barr to resign.
Now, after a failed McCabe indictment, the right is calling for Barr’s head, a situation the Attorney General has finally addressed by saying he has no intention of stepping down at this time.
Frustrations Mounting
Barr has some serious problems going on right now in terms of public perception.
By sticking up for Trump during the impeachment and vocalizing his opinion that the Inspector General report did not go far enough, Barr drew the ire of liberals.
That was only made worse when he pulled back a sentencing recommendation by his underlings for Roger Stone and recommended a much lighter sentence.
Which, by the way, based on how the Judge in the case has reacted so far, will have been for naught, because she sounds like she is ready to throw the book at Stone.
Over 1,000 past and present officials have demanded Barr resign, but he keeps ticking along.
Then came the lack of indictment for Andrew McCabe.
Trump was upset about it, the bulk of the right was upset about it, and now Barr is taking heat from both sides of the aisle.
He even came forward to say the President’s constant comments regarding the DOJ and its cases are making his job very hard to do.
Several outlets reported that Barr was seriously considering stepping down, but the Attorney General, through his spokesperson, finally addressed the rumors…
Addressing Beltway rumors: The Attorney General has no plans to resign.

Should Barr Step Down
Listen, I have not hidden my disdain for the fact the only big names this DOJ has actually put behind bars so far are former Trump associates with no long-term ties to the government.
Roger Stone, Michael Cohen, General Flynn, and Paul Manafort. Of those, the only one I truly think was wronged was General Flynn, but it is important to note none of these men were convicted of anything regarding the original Russian collusion case.
Barr has had the opportunity to go after the Clinton Foundation, and he failed.
Barr has had the opportunity to go after James Comey, but he has thus far declined to do so.
Barr had McCabe dead to rights on lying and leaking classified information, but he let him go as well.
So, now we are left with the Durham investigation.
My take is that if Durham only indicts underlings, Barr has to go. If, however, the DOJ finally steps up and holds some of these corrupt officials accountable, he is back in our good graces.
The real test, however, is going to be if Barr decides to go after Joe Biden or not. That could be what makes or breaks his future as our Attorney General.
For me, personally, going after Biden has nothing to do with the election and once Biden is out, this should not be stopped. Biden was corrupt and he made every member of his family rich while he was in office, as have dozens of other politicians.
This is the corruptness we need to expose, just as badly as we need to flush the DOJ of this “I got your back” mentality.
We are watching, Mr. Barr, so do your job!
Get off his back! I doubt seriously if anyone else in Washington has the stature to pursue the people who need to be pursued and make it stick. He has to pick and choose his targets and cases; otherwise, the prosecutions will look like what the Democrats will say they are: partisan attacks. I trust his ability to restore a semblance to the Justice Department after it has been victimized by several who were not up to the office.
I agree with you 100%. As the saying goes, “Time will tell……” Bill Barr is a very smart man.
Members of the “Democratic Communist Party” (DCP) are desperate and will do anything to keep the fire going with their Russian collusion hoax in their continued attempt to fool the American people into changing their minds about Donald J. Trump. As an American patriot with good common sense I can tell you it’s not going to happen. The Democrat’s quest for absolute power over the United States and total control of the American people is OVER!

I doubt very much if you see my reply MSGT JOHN CORREA, because everything I post on here is “Awaiting Moderation” US Air Force? I’m US Navy. the real military():-)
I am in 100% agreement. MSGT. And thank you for your service from an ex U.S. Air Force Survival Instructor. My son is currently on deployment as a Combat Medic. I fight for his children and my other two and their families. They will not take my freedom and my country.
Totally agree. The only ones who have a problem with Barr are the Dems and the MSM. Barr is the most reputable person in the DOJ for the last 15 years, so he has no reason to resign and in fact he has far more reasons to bring stability to our justice system including the DOJ, FBI, CIA, DNI, and the State Department.
We are all confident that Durham will work well with Barr and bring the real corrupt people to justice.
Proof is in the puddin. He ain’t got no puddin. And my guess won’t or he would have fired some people. There is no fear in the DOJ of anyone losing a job. Hell even Sessions knew that.
Amen
Yu moderate the word AMEN? What are you Stalins dictatorship?
Leave Barr alone when the Shit Hits the fan he will be throwing it all the Demorat Libertards are running scared
I thought you said he RESIGNED….can’t wait.
We need someone who is fresh and brave….not another Bush toadie.
This article is extremely misleading and it almost made my heart stop! This cesspool of Washington Politicians must be pumped out just like your septic tank! The gene pool in Washington DC has become as incestuous as the “Royal Families”of old and the results are similar except instead of physical defects we have ethical and moral defects. There needs to be new blood to upgrade and renew the genepool we will end becoming the ”new serfs” under the control of our ”betters”. The best chance of keeping our freedoms is to educate our children and make them independent thinkers instead of them becoming mindless pawns of the ”ruling elite”. Term Limits are a must !
Hello Michael: True and well stated. Our schools have dumbed down our youth purposely just as the Communists boasted how they would destroy us from within. the NEA must be dismantled from top to bottom, it’s overflowing with Communists. US Labor Union, how and why did they allow a labor union to take charge of education?
Michael Morgan—–I was fooled by the headlines also, but we should know better by now. I guess that is why they call it clickbait. No one would read it otherwise. If it just said that Barr says that he is staying, no one would bother to read that.
TRUMP AND REPUBLICANS FOR 2020, EXCEPT MITT ROMNEY! DRAIN THE SWAMP FROM THE HIGHEST TO THE LOWEST! INSTALL 80% REPUBLICANS IN THE SENATE AND 80% REPUBLICANS IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Mr. Barr we in this household applaud you and your stand for what is right and correct. Please
do not let the hurtful things people say, just remember you have always stood for what is right
and true. We appreciate you sir, and pray you will continue to be the Attorney General we all
prayed for. Please do not resign, America needs you.
I will say that justice is not blind.
Barr needs to get of his ass and get the job done or let us have some one that will
