Tyrant Barr Must Resign, or face impeachment.
It’s Wm. Barr’s turn for Impeachment. Congress should not balk with the excuse that a GOP-held Senate will not validate the effort – Let the House of Representatives be known historically that when the moment demanded, they stood with the U.S. Constitution despite Republican obstruction. Let the Senate come out once again and show the Nation where they stand in Defense of Liberty.
‘We are in a
bad place now’- Rachel Maddow. That’s putting it mildly. More accurate
are the observations of a consensus of Two Thousand former Dept. of Justice
Prosecutors:
“The
undersigned, are alumni of the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) who
have collectively served both Republican and Democratic administrations. Each
of us strongly condemns President Trump’s and Attorney General Barr’s
interference in the fair administration of justice”
‘President
Trump and Attorney General Barr have openly and repeatedly flouted fundamental
principle, most recently in connection with the sentencing of President Trump’s
close associate, Roger Stone, who was convicted of serious crimes.’
‘Such behavior is a grave threat to
the fair administration of justice. In this nation, we are all equal before the law. A person
should not be given special treatment in a criminal prosecution because they
are a close political ally of the President. Governments that use the
enormous power of law enforcement to punish their enemies and reward their
allies are not constitutional republics; they are autocracies.’ ‘We are in
a bad place’ indeed.
Also looming
is Barr’s DOJ ‘Review’ (whatever that involves); of the Michael Flynn Case. Another
instance of Barr interjecting himself in a Justice Matter that had been already
decided. Flynn plead Guilty, admitting that he in fact committed the alleged
Felonies. Now, the Barr/Trump Administration decide upon ‘Review’.
Daily Kos
reports further on DOJ Injustice: “The Justice Department's internal watchdog must
investigate the corrupt about-face made at the seeming behest of Donald Trump
and call out cronyism within its own ranks. But given how compromised disgraced
Attorney General William Barr is, we cannot trust the Justice Department to
correct its course. The House Judiciary Committee, which has oversight of Barr,
must also investigate independently.”
“The Justice
Department undid the work of career civil servants prosecuting Trump's
confidante, the convicted criminal Roger Stone, shortening the sentence they
were seeking in his case.
All four of the federal attorneys responsible for pursuing justice for Stone's crimes have resigned in protest.” More accurately three Resigned from the Case; and the fourth, Jonathan Kravis, boldly resigned DOJ altogether — both from the case and as an assistant U.S. attorney.

The Federal Judges Association is so alarmed by Barr’s intervention they’ve
called an Emergency Meeting: https://www.federaljudgesassoc.org/
‘Philadelphia U.S. District Judge Cynthia Rufe,
who heads the independent Federal Judges Association, said the group “could not
wait” until its spring conference to weigh in on a deepening crisis that has
enveloped the Justice Department and Attorney General William Barr’. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2020/02/17/roger-stone-sentence-judges-worried-political-interference/4788155002/
“There
are plenty of issues that we are concerned about,” Rufe told USA TODAY. “We’ll
talk all of this through”
