.Amidst controversy, AG Bill Barr faces calls for his resignation
When more than 1,140 former Justice Department lawyers - from Democratic and Republican administrations - call for Barr's ouster, it's important.
| Quote: | Over the last week, the public has confronted a governing dynamic without modern precedent: we appear to have an attorney general who is essentially trying to fix federal law-enforcement cases of interest to the president. The question -- one of them, anyway -- is what should happen now.
For a growing number of observers, the answer is to see William Barr resign from his post.
The editorial board of the Boston Globe published a piece on Friday arguing, in reference to Barr, "Members on both sides of the aisle should be publicly demanding his resignation -- and they should not relent until they secure it."
It's quickly become a common conclusion. Time magazine published a piece from former U.S. Attorney Joyce White Vance, an MSNBC legal analyst, who wrote, "If Barr truly believes in the rule of law, this is his moment. He can resign to show the country the President is not above the law."
This morning, The Atlantic ran a related piece from Donald Ayer, the former deputy attorney general under George H. W. Bush, who argued, "Bill Barr's America is not a place that anyone, including Trump voters, should want to go. It is a banana republic where all are subject to the whims of a dictatorial president and his henchmen. To prevent that, we need a public uprising demanding that Bill Barr resign immediately, or failing that, be impeached."
As the New York Times reported, they're hardly the only Justice Department veterans calling for Barr's ouster.
More than 1,100 former federal prosecutors and Justice Department officials called on Attorney General William P. Barr on Sunday to step down after he intervened last week to lower the Justice Department's sentencing recommendation for President Trump's longtime friend Roger J. Stone Jr.
In their joint statement, with signatories from Democratic and Republican administrations, the former DOJ lawyers explained, "Governments that use the enormous power of law enforcement to punish their enemies and reward their allies are not constitutional republics; they are autocracies." They added that the attorney general's actions "damage they have done to the Department of Justice's reputation for integrity and the rule of law," as such, Barr must resign.
As of this morning, the list of signatories stood at 1,142 -- and growing -- and it included a former deputy solicitor general and a former deputy attorney general.
This is in no way routine, and it speaks to the seriousness with which Barr has jolted the American legal system with his apparent abuses. |

.After facing scrutiny for interfering with longtime Trump aide Roger Stone’s criminal case, Attorney General Barr is now tapping an outside prosecutor to review ex-Trump aide Michael Flynn’s guilty plea. NBC News Reporter Carol Lee and former federal prosecutors Paul Butler and Gene Rossi join The Beat.

2000 now? Wow, they breed like bacteria.
Not his colleagues, they never were, just never Trumpers (their real target) that saw an opening to form a letter.
It drips of swamp mud. |

Poor old Mac like most unhinged liberal morons cannot see the blatant injustice here....as long as it make Trump look bad it's all good in the minds of haters.
7 to 9 for what he did is insanly excessive and anyone who would defend that including you or any so called expert is a POS... Just like when they sent a Swat team to his house to serve him and his deaf wife >>>DISGRACEFUL!!!!!!!!
And crickets from clowns like you...as long as it hurts Trump.
Now we know one of the jurors ,a Lawyer I believe lied and was actually a rabid Trump hater with an agenda...
Thank god we have an attorney general who will fight for fair justice, and expose this liberal witch hunt for what it is...
Liberals are sick people. Trump has exposed liberals for what they really are. Hateful, intolerant, nasty people who will lie, cheat, and break every rule to get what they want.....Sick mother fuckers, on display here everyday...

is the transference you and your whore's porn stars... or just you and yours are traitors and cowards.
you cut and ran like the coward deserter you are when I directly attacked your entire premise her on Avernati. You can not even debunk what I said you coward and whore sexual presditor- pedophile supporter.
talking about transference.. go f yourself as you do the country with your hate.
Again in the avernati thread, you challenged why he should be even respected. Again you putrid right wing whores attacked him when he apparently did not have money to help a client who could not pay but the information was important for americans to know. She has not been arrested for lying by trump or Barr and we know they would go after her. You right-winger threatened her and her lawyer constantly with death threats, just because you could not handle the truth. You wanted to silence her and him and deny them free truth speech. For telling the truth about the il-legitimate whore pedophile sick trust fund kid president.
again what right did you and yours have to attack her and him with death threats.

mat-ty, why do you like Roger Stone so much? Do you really know much about the guy?
Stone was found to be guilty by his peers in a court of law, and you want to ignore that? Seems to me that his karma is catching up with him, and it's my hope that the judge in the trial blows off AG Barr's BS and gives Stone the 7 to 9 years that he has no doubt earned.
What I'm really wondering about is whether Donald Trump will pardon Stone before or after the election. What do you think? |
