Who actually believes that? He just doesn't want to be in a position to have to explain them or cover for them, so he says he doesn't read the pResident's tweets. Liar!

He made a remark earlier in the hearing about one of Trump's tweets.

Geez. We need to impeach this asshole.

“I think it’s time to stop the tweeting about Department of Justice criminal cases,” Barr told ABC News Chief Justice Correspondent Pierre Thomas.

When asked if he was prepared for the consequences of criticizing the president – his boss – Barr said “of course” because his job is to run the Justice Department and make decisions on “what I think is the right thing to do.”

he's a scared little boy. I hope he worries, has trouble sleeping, can't get the possibility of this whole thing crashing around him out of his head at night.

That's my new nighttime prayer

His daughter and son in law work for this administration. They likely got their jobs on Billy's recommendation, so he is protecting them, too. We all know what kind of people tRump hires. Only the best! The best of the incompetents.

He had to remove his foot from it.
Best ass kicking by a Congressman I've seen in a long long time.

Barr just testified he does not read the president’s tweet. His phone should be examined to see if he just lied.
