#3 Barr saw the Trump tweet THEN looked into the Stone sentencing recommendations of his DOJ attorneys and realized their recommendation was too severe and ordered adjustments. Keep tweeting, Trump.

#5 I'm beginning to wonder if Roger Stone was a decoy, sent into action by the Orange Man. He just seems to be having entirely too much fun.

#6 He just seems to be having entirely too much fun.

Only way that can be true is if somebody else is already covering all his legal expenses.

#8 Original post fixed. I didn’t have to make any changes, g(r)omgoru — sometimes Fred’s code does that to images. Its spirit animal is a puppy, I think, needing the occasional scratch behind the ears.

#11 :-)

It’s a tempest in a teapot, giving NPR, et al another red flag to charge instead of paying attention to what the hands are doing. From Fox News:

The White House says President Trump isn't "bothered" or deterred after Attorney General Bill Barr told ABC News on Thursday that the president's tweets "make it impossible for me to do my job," in an unusual swipe at the president -- although Barr emphasized that Trump "has never asked me to do anything in a criminal case."

Barr said he was "of course" ready for blowback from Trump for his comments, although he said he was focused only on doing his job.

In response, White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said Trump "wasn’t bothered" by Barr's remarks, even as she defended the president's social media use.

“The president wasn’t bothered by the comments at all and he has the right, just like any American citizen, to publicly offer his opinions," Grisham said. "President Trump uses social media very effectively to fight for the American people against injustices in our country, including the fake news. The President has full faith and confidence in Attorney General Barr to do his job and uphold the law."

Barr and Trump are united in their belief that Trump and his allies have been unfairly targeted, Fox News is told.
