Donald Ayer writes in a new Atlantic column that AG Barr must resign because he is 'working to destroy the integrity and independence of the Justice Department.' The panel discusses



Attorney General William Barr told people close to him he's considering stepping down over President Trump's tweets, days after Barr admitted that Trump's tweeting made it "'impossible for me to do my job."

Barr "has his limits," one person familiar with Barr’s thinking told The Washington Post. Its report suggested that Barr wanted Trump to "get the message" to stop weighing in publicly in ongoing criminal cases. An administration official gave a similar admission on Barr to The Associated Press.
As someone wrote on Twitter, it doesn’t necessarily dispute the report. He could still be considering it with no current plans to resign. I guess we’ll find in the coming days if Trump keeps tweeting about DOJ court cases.
