Even allies of Attorney General Barr are questioning his management style after his handling of the removal of the Manhattan U.S. attorney

WASHINGTON—Attorney General William Barr has earned a reputation for being so hard-charging within the Justice Department that even his close aides call him “the Buffalo.”

That style has long rankled Democrats and other critics, who accuse Mr. Barr of undermining the Justice Department’s independence by pursuing an agenda too closely aligned with President Trump’s interests. His supporters counter that Mr. Barr’s forcefulness has been necessary after Justice Department investigations consumed much of Mr. Trump’s first two...

WSJ agenda dump this rag

Barr has been a tough leader and has cleaned house. Let the man do his job

Draining the swamp is not for the faint of heart !

This is not a question of management style. It’s a question of corrupt at highest level and completely misplaced loyalty to his boss instead of to the country.

A buffalo has muscles and is respected in Native American culture. Barr is a fat pig of a human unworthy of the name.

Questioning? Do something about it.

BS

Barr, much like Pomoeo, is becoming an insignificant lackey working for realDonaldTrump. With the Berman fiasco it is painfully obvious Barr does not think for himself. HotIron

His “Allies” are liberal suckers as I see it

Oh WOW! You mean the DEEP STATE is upset with Barr for actually doing his job and taking to task those that do not follow the chain of command.

❤❤❤❤

It’s been a bizarre episode - and there’s likely more to come

DOJ should separate, too close to the President.

Firing by proxy. Is that a disease your insurance will cover?

HOUSE CLEAMING NEEDS TO BE DONE IN WASHINGTON. GO PRESIDENT TRUMP.

Shaking up the swamp💫

Sure WSJ, sure

Drain the Swamp !

His master’s voice.

Fake News, Trump 2020

BS!

Be Vocal. Be Conscious. Take Action. Open your mouth and expose the demonrats and their humanity hating, divisive agenda. You and your family's lives depend on it as does All Our America and The Globe. Vote Trump 2020. Your only quasi-Conscious option at the moment. MAGA

Sure they are. You heard through anonymous sources I’m guessing.

The old ways are no more and the harder you try to keep them the worse the out come.

Once Again, Trump Abdicates his Responsibilities Proving he's unfit to serve as President! He Tried to Blame Barr for the Firing of the Manhattan US Attorney! Trumps a Coward he was during VietNam & Still is!

This people won’t get tired anytime soon!!!

Great job AG Barr

Buffalo? Natives called black soldiers buffalo soldiers for their honor and strength, in battle. Try peter griffin, more fitting.

Management style That's a nice way of saying abusing your authority to put in place a person you can manipulate. Berman was getting close to indicting Giuliani and Deutsche Bank records of Trump Org. loans can't have that being disclosed so close to the election now can we .

The U.S Attorney General attempts a surreptitious removal of a federal prosecutor investigating the alleged criminal acts of a sitting president. Call it what it clearly is: obstruction of justice.

I guess Buffalo sounds better as a nickname than 'That fat fuck'

You mean mismanagement

The way people are acting in DC is all you need to know. Barr is draining the swamp.

wow....you guys actually thought that he'd get away with this? what's sad is how you guys at are literally shredding the credibility of the century old sterling rep you have full force now ...every day......all to protect the Trump mafia...jesus

Draining the swamp

Lies!

I'm not sure if its accurate to call treason and war crimes a managment style.

he must be removed immediately. He has turned the DOJ into a criminal enterprise, blocking investigations and engaging in coverups either to protect Trump or at the behest of Trump. They both must be removed

CherylShuman Management style? Sounds so HR-y, like after someone in a C-suite stepped over the line and got caught. This is a way bigger problem than mere ‘Management style’.

The swamp is swampier than it has ever been. Trump and his cronies can do whatever they want with complete impunity.

Nah

Abused of power, waste of a man's life. Man is of a few days so when you get a chance to impact other people life, do so with love and service to improve others for the betterment of society. We in the USA need more John D. Rockefeller Sr.

He is not Trump’s personal attorney! Someone better remind him that he is NOT ABOVE THE LAW! We The People pay his salary!

Bar needs to be investigated.

You guys at WSJ have no embarrassment! You are a partisan establishment that is only spreading hate. Repent and turn from your wicked ways!

another WSJ article that poos poos the destruction of the DOJ.

'Style & Management' are two words not associated with a Mobster Outfit which Barr - aka Fat Eddie - plays a starring role.

People seem to be afraid of decisive leadership. Maybe it’s because they don’t see much of it these days. God Bless you AG Barr!

i really thought I was seeing a photo of Elton John.

questioning? what will it take for folks in the DOJ to realize they got a corrupted traitor running the organization. These folks ARE COWARDS.

Epstein.

He is clearly asking questions of his AGs... I don't think they like it... don't like to be challenged on the predication for investigations... Trump related or not...

Management style?!?!?! He’s a thug.

“Management style”? 😒😒😒😒 ImpeachBarr

The General fired the Lieutenant. Why do you struggle with the notion?

Somebody call in SenatorCollins ! We need some concern.

fake

What? Being a corrupt, crooked bully isn’t a good thing? But i can’t wait for opinion to justify his actions but give some small chide, like “it doesn’t look good when their stories don’t line up”.

Oh no! They might write another letter. What will we ever do? This is terrible.

“Management style”? Give me a f’ing break.

Good nickname; but there’s no buff in Barr

They always question Barr and Trump. It’s what his allies don’t do about it that’s the problem.

Nah. Barr had conversations with the guy about where he would move after he made a graceful exit but then Berman had second thoughts and threw hissy fit for the world to see. Now Berman is having second thoughts about his second thoughts. But MSM will spin. It's what you do.

Spoiler alert. No they are not and his allies won’t do shit.

“His handling”? You mean his lies and attempt to get rid of an attorney who was investigating corruption?

Insurrection in Seattle and ur concerned with the AG’s “management style”? When u drain the swamp some frogs are killed. Get over it.

Barr is a Trump crook, and he fired this man to protect Trump and his henchmen.

ImpeachBarr LockHimUp

I think Trump's mentor, Roy Cohn, had a management style, too.

ImpeachBarr ImpeachBarrNOW

Barr should be impeached on several charges of obstruction of justice.

Questioning, brow furrowing, concerning, all empty gestures of feigned concern and discomfort from Republicans with what is happening. This is no longer the party of Eisenhower. Their gelatinous spines have dissolved.

BS. This is an attempt to discredit him before he exposes the corruption of the intelligence service.

Barr is a trump Lackey Stooge.......What a disgraceful head of the Justice Department.......

Kinda mobster style

Consider the source, more fake news.

I sure hope Barr is also implicated in SDNY money laundering probe

Management style?

Management style? Lame. You don't have access to the correct wording?

Will the GOPCowards will actually do something about it.....newandimprovedswamp NeverTrumpers

No they’re not. You’re fke n£ws.

BS.

Barrtenders !

It's still within their scope of power. Dont like it? Vote. Trump2020Landslide

Trump is falling hard and fast.
