Wow — Barr says Trump’s tweets on DOJ cases “make it impossible for me to do my job.”

“I think it’s time to stop the tweeting about Department of Justice criminal cases.”

abcnews.go.com/Politics/barr-…
! “Do you go forward with what you think is the right decision or do you pull back because of the tweet? And that just sort of illustrates how disruptive these tweets can be,” he said.

abcnews.go.com/Politics/barr-…
Oof. Barr really doesn’t like the tweets.

“I cannot do my job here at the department with a constant background commentary that undercuts me.”

NEW: Mitt Romney could derail a Senate subpoena for records related to Hunter Biden and Burisma, hinting today he could vote against it next week. One GOP “no” vote in committee means the subpoena fails.

politico.com/news/2020/03/0…
“There’s no question the appearance is not good,” Romney said when asked about Trump’s intention to use it against Biden in the general election.

“I would prefer that investigations are done by an independent, nonpolitical body.”

politico.com/news/2020/03/0…
Rob Portman is also a possible swing vote. But a source familiar with the matter says he’s leaning toward supporting the subpoena. Johnson has told colleagues that his effort is aimed simply at gathering information.

After a scathing McConnell speech haranguing Schumer for his comments yesterday, Schumer says: “I should not have used the words I used yesterday. They did not come out the way I intended to.”

“I’m from Brooklyn. We use strong language.”

Says he wasn’t making a threat.
McConnell didn’t hold back —

“As long as this majority holds the gavel, we will never let the minority leader’s dangerous views become policy,” McConnell said. “This majority will ensure the only casualties of this recklessness are the reputations of those who engage in it.”
After doubling down, Schumer walks back his comments about Gorsuch and Kavanaugh that prompted a rare rebuke from John Roberts — and McConnell piles on.

New: Senate Republicans offer tepid praise for Ratcliffe, with none ruling out supporting him. Instead, they’re just happy Trump intends to nominate a permanent replacement. And for that reason, round two could be easier for Ratcliffe.

w/ @marianne_levine
politico.com/news/2020/03/0…
@marianne_levine ... and in many ways, a repeat of what we saw last year:

Mitt Romney: “I know very little about Congressman Ratcliffe. I will be looking into his background and record.”

Lamar Alexander: “I don’t know him, so I don’t have an opinion on that yet.”

politico.com/news/2020/03/0…
@marianne_levine Rubio also suggests Grenell makes it easier for Ratcliffe’s nom: “He still holds the post in Germany, which eventually he either has to get back to or we’re going to have to put somebody else. You can’t have that post vacant. And you can’t do both jobs.” politico.com/news/2020/03/0…

1/ Q said "it will be BIBLICAL"
What's the next Jewish holiday?

Purim. Monday to Tuesday, Mar 9 - Mar 10

Purim is the holiday of the BOOMERANG.
2/ Purim 2019 was Mar 22...the EXACT date the Mueller report was released, when the Left was expecting the 18 angry dem's to lay out evidence of POTUS crimes in the report...but?

No Collusion, no Obstruction.

Exoneration.
3/ Why is Purim considered the BOOMERANG holiday?

In ancient Persia, the wicked Haman hated Jews and tricked the King into signing an edict that they all be exterminated...chabad.org/holidays/purim…

On #BillBarr's ABC News interview.

Shorter #Barr: Shush. We do this on the down low. You're making it impossible for me to pull of the job.

Also reminds me of this analysis by @nycsouthpaw:

"What Has Bill Barr Done to Earn the Benefit of the Doubt?"

@nycsouthpaw 2. Here's the link to the Bill Barr's ABC News interview (and his saying that Trump's tweets and public commentary "make it impossible for me to do my job.”)

In a rare break with Trump, Attorney General William Barr tells @ABC the president's tweets "make it impossible for me to do my job" and he should stop. Barr also said Trump has "has never asked me to do anything in a criminal case." abcnews.go.com/Politics/barr-…
@ABC "I think it’s time to stop the tweeting about Department of Justice criminal cases," Barr said.

Yesterday, Trump congratulated Barr for "taking charge" of the Roger Stone case.
@ABC “I cannot do my job here at the department with a constant background commentary that undercuts me.”

One viral image being shared on social media used a bit of reverse psychology, asking what Americans would think if the details of this story involved the #tRump family rather than the #Biden family. #GreatWhiteHunter

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed
