Trump just weighed in on AG Barr refusing to prosecute James Comey, and his comments may actually surprise you:
The fact that James Comey was not prosecuted for the absolutely horrible things he did just shows how fair and reasonable Attorney General Bill Barr is. So many people and experts that I have watched and read would have taken an entirely different course. Comey got Lucky!

When I first started reading this tweet, I really thought Trump was going after AG Barr like he used to go after Jeff Sessions. I was about ready to cringe until he said that Barr was “fair and reasonable”.Yeah that threw me for a loop, especially considering that Trump went on to point out that other ‘experts’ would have prosecuted Comey.
So it seems he is disagreeing with Barr but doing it in a very nice and respectful way. That just shows how much Trump really likes the job AG Barr is doing.
In related news, Trump has also made clear this morning just how much he doesn’t like Comey, calling him a “dishonest fool”:
The disastrous IG Report on James Comey shows, in the strongest of terms, how unfairly I, and tens of millions of great people who support me, were treated. Our rights and liberties were illegally stripped away by this dishonest fool. We should be given our stolen time back?
