Yourself with mob-like tactics, you i don t think have much guts, and it looks like roger stone has much to hide. i ll leave it at that. wolf. william barr is now emerging as president trump s possible nominee as attorney general. if nominate and confirmed, he would oversee the mueller investigation. would you support barr s nomination? i m certainly open to it, and i think as we ve seen over the last few days, you know, how honorable of man george h.w. bush was, someone who was kind, who loved his country, who sought to unite us and led with optimism that this individual served in his administration, i think that must give him some credential. i would want to know, though, has he ever talked to president trump or kniffin anyone in the r the administration who has ever expressed thoughts or prejudged ....

Cover the white house for us. how serious do you think the president is about barr as attorney general? it seems that people surrounding the president are pretty serious about bar. but still an open question what the president thinks about him. he is not a typical pick for president trump as attorney general, especially following the drama that was the firing of jeff sessions and how long that took. and the president was so unhappy with someone who was seen as pretty not even establishment. jeff sessions was seen as someone essentially on the fringes in washington, and then he still made that decision, which he said he felt was in accordance with the law to recuse himself. so it would be unseemly if the president did pick someone who was seen as an establishment type who would likely follow in the path that jeff sessions took. it seemed the president surrounding the president think bar is a good idea and would make a good attorney general for him, and that is why they re trying to ....
