Numerous officials described to me how weird it was to see Barr — a former general counsel for Verizon — stray out of law enforcement and into policymaking. “A breathtaking lack of coordination across this administration,” @GeoffreyStarks said. DOJ declined to comment. — PolitiTweet.org

And it also conflicts with the spirit of a bipartisan letter sent by the Senate Intel, Homeland Security, Foreign Relations and Armed Services committees warning that a “fractured approach” to 5G policy won’t help: https://t.co/YxUpNrBT6d — PolitiTweet.org

Barr’s criticism of Kudlow’s plan is that trying to replace Huawei hardware with an open-source software platform built by US tech and telecom companies is “pie in the sky.” Nevermind that Kudlow, @AjitPaiFCC and members of Congress seem to be in favor of it. — PolitiTweet.org

Democratic FCC Commissioners @JRosenworcel and @GeoffreyStarks told me Barr's speech is another example of an administration in disarray. "In this administration, the right hand is not always talking to the left," Rosenworcel told me. — PolitiTweet.org

One official at a federal agency told me they were surprised and caught off-guard by Barr's remarks. Craig Moffett, an industry analyst, told me it was "bizarre" and left him "speechless": https://t.co/yEju8KpJo0 — PolitiTweet.org

As a refresher, yesterday Barr publicly criticized a plan promoted by Larry Kudlow, advocated for the federal takeover of foreign companies and injected DOJ into policy matters routinely handled by technical agencies like FCC and NTIA. https://t.co/4iKisoE3iW — PolitiTweet.org

On Fox, Navarro claims Bezos said “he’d meet with me, told me to call him and now they are backtracking … Shame on Jeff Bezos.” A person familiar with the exchange tells me Bezos never committed to meeting Navarro personally and that there was a “miscommunication." — PolitiTweet.org
