18pt;\"><strong>demanding to jail his political enemies and call out allies he says are failing to arrest his rivals swiftly enough.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\" story-text__paragraph\">Trump twice amplified supporters\u2019 criticisms of Attorney General William Barr, including one featuring a meme calling on him to \u201carrest somebody!\u201d He wondered aloud why his rivals, like President Barack Obama, Democratic nominee Joe Biden and former Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton hadn\u2019t been imprisoned for launching a \u201ccoup\u201d against his administration.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"story-enhancement\"><\/aside>\n<p class=\" story-text__paragraph\">\u201cWhere are all of the arrests?\u201d Trump said, after several dozen tweets on the subject over the past 24 hours. \u201cCan you imagine if the roles were reversed? Long term sentences would have started two years ago. Shameful!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"container__column container__column--story hide-under-small\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"page-content__row page-content__row--story main-section\" data-content-section=\"4\">\n<div class=\"container container--story story-layout--fixed-fluid\">\n<div class=\"container__column container__column--story center-horizontally hide-under-medium\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"container__column container__column--story\">\n<div class=\"container__row container__row--story story-layout--fluid-fixed\">\n<div class=\"container__column container__column--story center-horizontally\">\n<div class=\"story-text\">\n<p class=\" story-text__paragraph\" data-content-child-index=\"0-0\">By early afternoon, Trump was letting loose his frustrations in an all-caps missive that seemed aimed at nobody in particular.<\/p>\n<p class=\" story-text__paragraph\" data-content-child-index=\"0-1\">\u201cDO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS, THE BIGGEST OF ALL POLITICAL SCANDALS (IN HISTORY)!!! BIDEN, OBAMA AND CROOKED HILLARY LED THIS TREASONOUS PLOT!!! BIDEN SHOULDN\u2019T BE ALLOWED TO RUN &#8211; GOT CAUGHT!!!\u201d Trump tweeted.<\/p>\n<p class=\" story-text__paragraph\" data-content-child-index=\"0-2\">The day-long run of tweets and retweets marked the most frantic stretch of Trump\u2019s public activity since he left the presidential suite at Walter Reed Medical Center and returned to treatment at the White House. They also underscored the degree to which Trump remains fixated on his grievances over the Russia probe, and often on obscure aspects of that investigation that are unintelligible to all but its most careful followers.<\/p>\n<p class=\" story-text__paragraph\" data-content-child-index=\"0-3\">Since late Tuesday, Trump has vowed to declassify all documents he claims will show improper activity by Obama and his intelligence advisers \u2014 before quickly reversing himself and suggesting he had already done so \u201clong ago\u201d \u2014 and repeatedly cited Russian intelligence services\u2019 claims that Clinton \u201cstirred up\u201d the Trump-Russia collusion scandal that has dogged his presidency.<\/p>\n<p class=\" story-text__paragraph\" data-content-child-index=\"0-4\">The Trump administration has never held a firm position on whether the president\u2019s tweets constitute direct orders; various tell-all books have described how top officials learned which of his instructions \u2014 lawful or otherwise \u2014 to ignore and which to accommodate. Courts have at times treated Trump\u2019s tweets at official statements. But on other occasions they\u2019ve been brushed off as political banter that lacks the force of law.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"page-content__row page-content__row--story main-section\">\n<div class=\"container container--story story-layout--fixed-fluid\">\n<div class=\"container__column container__column--story\">\n<div class=\"container__row container__row--story story-layout--fluid-fixed\">\n<div class=\"container__column container__column--story center-horizontally\">\n<div class=\"story-text\">\n<p class=\" story-text__paragraph\">Trump\u2019s Twitter feed tends to be a realtime barometer of his offline moods and whims, however \u2014 and themes he hits on repeatedly over 280 characters tend to surface in conversations he holds in private.<\/p>\n<p class=\" story-text__paragraph\">A Justice Department spokeswoman did not respond to a request for comment about whether Trump had ever directly asked Barr to order the arrest of his rivals or if his tweet suggesting as much had veered into territory that Barr once said made his job \u201cimpossible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\" story-text__paragraph\">In past interviews, Barr has signaled that he has no intention of prosecuting senior Obama administration officials, though he has cast doubt on the motives behind the Russia probe and launched an investigation into its origins.<\/p>\n<p class=\" story-text__paragraph\">The review Barr ordered has disappointed Trump in recent weeks as the U.S. attorney tapped to lead it, John Durham, has signaled he might not pursue the kinds of high-profile prosecutions the president and his allies are demanding. Durham\u2019s deputy in the review, veteran Justice Department prosecutor Nora Dennehy, recently quit the faltering effort and returned to the private sector.<\/p>\n<p class=\" story-text__paragraph\">\u201cNOW THAT THE RADICAL LEFT DEMOCRATS GOT COUGHT [sic] COLD IN THE (NON) FRIENDLY TRANSFER OF GOVERNMENT, IN FACT, THEY SPIED ON MY CAMPAIGN AND WENT FOR A COUP, WE ARE ENTITLED TO ASK THE VOTERS FOR FOUR MORE YEARS,\u201d Trump declared late Wednesday morning. \u201cPLEASE REMEMBER THIS WHEN YOU VOTE!\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\" story-text__paragraph\">Trump\u2019s tweet barrage was particularly jarring when set against the political backdrop. Biden has widened his lead over Trump in recent polls, as the president\u2019s support has eroded among women, seniors and other voting blocs that helps him scratch out a victory in 2016. Trump flummoxed his allies Tuesday by summarily shutting down \u2014 also via Twitter \u2014 negotiations over a coronavirus stimulus bill, only to backtrack hours later by calling on Congress to pass more targeted measures.<\/p>\n<p class=\" story-text__paragraph\">But Trump has made clear that he remains focused on punishing perceived enemies regardless of the political cost. While recovering at Walter Reed Monday morning, his chief of staff Mark Meadows told Fox News that Trump had kept busy that morning in part by directing the declassification of documents related to the Russia probe \u2014 a set of files he claimed were conclusive proof that Clinton had concocted the notion that his campaign team had ties to Russia even though the Senate Intelligence Committee and the special counsel\u2019s team had rejected the allegations as unverified.<\/p>\n<p class=\" story-text__paragraph\">In releasing them, Trump\u2019s own hand-picked intel chief, John Ratcliffe, acknowledged the documents, sourced to Russian intelligence, might have been \u201cexaggerated\u201d or even \u201cfabricated\u201d to deflect from their culpability in the election interference effort.<\/p>\n<p class=\" story-text__paragraph\">Source:https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2020\/10\/07\/trump-demands-barr-arrest-foes-427389<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2018Where are all of the arrests?\u2019: Trump demands Barr lock up his foes The day-long run of tweets and retweets marked the most frantic stretch of Trump\u2019s public activity since he left Walter Reed.
