Donald Trump lashes out at Bill Barr as it all goes wrong for him

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Even as far too many pundits were painting Attorney General Bill Barr as some kind of evil genius who could simply wave a magic wand and pull off any scheme he wanted for Donald Trump, Palmer Report has been pointing out all along that Barr’s track record as a henchman has actually been rather inept.

For instance, Bill Barr tried and failed to meddle in the Stone, Flynn, Cohen, Lev, Igor, and Bannon cases. Barr tried and failed to install Trump’s guy at the SDNY. Barr’s Durham probe into the U.S. intel community was a dud. And now Barr’s probe into the Obama administration “unmasking” scandal has also officially gone nowhere.

Donald Trump seems to finally be figuring out that Bill Barr has been selling him a bill of goods all along. This evening MSNBC reported that when Trump was asked if he plans to keep Barr around for a second term, he responded that it’s too early to say, and that he doesn’t like what he’s currently seeing from Barr.

It’s not that we expect Donald Trump to have a second term anyway. But Trump is clearly so frustrated by Barr’s inability to carry out his evil agenda, Trump is now openly talking about getting rid of Barr. We always felt it was inevitable that Trump and Barr would turn on each other in the end. We just didn’t expect it to happen quite so soon.
