More than 1,100 former prosecutors and other DOJ officials call on Attorney General Bill Barr to resign

US Attorney General William Barr.

2/16/20
More than 1,110 former Justice Department officials who served in Republican as well as Democratic administrations posted a statement Sunday calling on Attorney General Bill Barr to resign. "Mr. Barr's actions in doing the President's personal bidding unfortunately speak louder than his words. Those actions, and the damage they have done to the Department of Justice's reputation for integrity and the rule of law, require Mr. Barr to resign. But because we have little expectation he will do so, it falls to the Department's career officials to take appropriate action to uphold their oaths of office and defend nonpartisan, apolitical justice," the officials wrote in a statement. The rare statement from the officials -- mostly former career prosecutors, but also some former political appointees -- came in the wake of an extraordinary week at the Justice Department. In just one week, career prosecutors withdrew from a case after Barr overruled their sentencing, the attorney general pushed back against the President in an unusual interview and separately ordered an examination of politically charged cases involving those close to President Donald Trump.

And there you have it. Barr is doing incalculable damage to the Justice Department and US rule of law. He is a heat-seeking missile aimed at the heart of American democracy.

Old and busted : Op-Ed: President Trump argues he is above the law. A thousand prosecutors say he’s wrong - Los Angeles Times

New hotness: https://www.debatepolitics.com/redi...secutors-doj-officials-barr-resign/index.html More than 1,100 former prosecutors and other DOJ officials call on Attorney General Bill Barr to resign

Easy to see who wants to gamble everything to get Trump out of office and get rid of Barr because he is doing just about what Holder did for Obama.

The DOJ should advance the presidents policy objectives, not his political objectives.
 
“Deep State... Deep State!!!!!” (Just beating a few of our Trump supporters to the punch here... carry on.)

It's good to see that Trump and Barr are upsetting the swamp creatures that infest our government. Democracy in action.

His name is swing voter and his lean is "independent". That's how you know to take any statements that defend Team Trump seriously.
 
Probably every single one of the are from the crooked Obama regime.

The only way Obama's DoJ was corrupted to pursue political objectives I can recall was to defend the Bush and Wall Street crimes from prosecution. He had zero vindictiveness like trump. To a fault.

Yes, the Bush program Obama continued, when well-meaning DEA agents tried to catch Mexican drug cartels, but right-wing government attorneys thwarted them, and Republicans exploited the issue for politics.
