calling career Justice Department attorneys"headhunters" who have become overly aggressive in pursuing criminal cases.Career prosecutors, or Justice Department attorneys who aren't politically appointed,"are generally part of the permanent bureaucracy," Barr said during a recent speech at Hillsdale College in which he defended his involvement in criminal cases.
In the past year, Barr has overruled line prosecutors by recommending a lighter sentence for Trump political adviser Roger Stone, while he has also sought to drop the prosecution of former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn. "Attorney General Barr’s comments display a fundamental misunderstanding of the role of career prosecutors and why many of them have openly resisted his interventions on President Trump’s behalf," the letter said."While it is of course true that the DOJ is managed by its political leaders, when those leaders violate their oath to faithfully execute the law, the career staff is obligated by their own oaths of office to uphold the principle of equal justice under law.
Patrick Cotter, a former federal prosecutor and one of letter's signatories, said Barr's actions are"very serious breaches" of the Justice Department's traditional role as an apolitical institution. "But of particular concern to me is the threatened Durham Investigation. That the Attorney General has gone so out of his way to designate a hand-picked prosecutor to engage in an amazingly unusual investigation which seems both in its subject matter and even more so in its apparent timing intentionally designed to affect a national presidential election is breathtaking in its impropriety," Cotter said.
Traitor barr belongs in prison !
He needs to be Arrested
protctdemocracy This is why he won’t get tested and won’t quarantine.
What do they mean 'they fear he intends'? He is doing it already?
*we know that barr is undermining American law and democracy.
And he's somehow tied into this epstein shit too
Here's another known racist!

I just got to love it 1600 signatures and only a quote from one And did you even research Mr. Cotter, and his Illustrious career Was a lawyer under the Obama Cartel And is now Drum roll please A white collar lawyer
There is not a Democrat alive who wants free and fair elections. These are the same people who want illegal aliens to vote.
You mean 1600 members of the swamp being drained?
This is a crock of politics as usual shit.
He'll be Trump's attorney, not the nation's attorney as he should be.
All of this is getting scary 😟
That's because the 1600 attorneys are on the George Soros payroll.
No point in debating with Trump supporters. Their tunnel vision denies his moral and financial corruption. A man w/o a moral compass. He doesn’t care about anyone but himself~he doesn't care about his supporters except getting their worship.
I expect law enforcement to ensure we have free and fair elections earlier versus later. The amount of voter fraud coming to light is making it clear that our votes are being compromised.
And, honestly... there is a reason they are 'Former'. Use in a sentence: USA Today was a Former News organization.
We all saw this months ago
Disgusting how the President of the United States is scaring the hell out of American voters by saying He won’t honour election results! He will have his security people at polling sites! and His Far right White Nationalist storm troopers to stand by. America is finished!!!
Former ='s has been...so the fuck what!
Like Coney and company didn't try to interfere in 2016? Karma
Really
Professor Isagholian
Attorney General Barr is the most dynamic fair minded and competent individual. He Values our democratic process. 1600 lawyers are partisan individuals and their concerns are baseless and false
It appears Democrats think that Republicans will use their playbook but Republicans still value decency and integrity and won't stoop to their level
Yeah we watch some of his interviews oh my god he's horrible. say things like I'm not revealing that information. He really doesn't know who he works for. We all walk around with butterflies in their stomach because so much of the Republican party has now turned corrupt.
You mean like that whole Russiagate thing that turned out to actually be fabricated.
Barr learned everything he knows from Eric Holder.
I feel the same way about democrats
Rats of the Coup after getting caught , Calling on their old buddies to try and bail them out!
There isn't a person that I speak to the doesn't think the bill bar should be behind bars. It's completely suffering from a conflict of interest currently does not work for Trump so why is he always talking like he does.
The MSM are the EnemyOfThePeople and do nothing by lie and strike fear and panic into the average zombie reader.
He should. Voters deserve to know who they’re actually voting for.
Fearing is an opinion, where are the facts?
Enforcing the law is bad apparently. Also investigating wrong doing isn't good either apparently. Man it's sounds hard being a democrat and trying to rationalize these things.
gsDetermination ImpeachBarr ImpeachBarrNOW
We know that Democrats literary used the FBI’s vast powers to attempt to remove the elected President based on a hoax.
Impeach him now
We’ve got the Supreme Court so bring it
And the rest of us fear, knowingly fear the theft of the election process by the MSM and the DNC. But somehow none of that is news for the MSDNC
It’s happening already! He needs to be removed before the election
And how many of these 1,600 DoJ lawyers are Democrats?
If Barr does not indict Hunter Biden, with trumped-up, fake charges, Trump will lose the election.
Media B's fake news = Obama *shit Clinton *shit %95 percent chance 2016 VS. Biden *shit 59% chance 2020
this is for sure. Trump will cheat élections with putin and gop and barr. Trump will be reelected easily. 😪
Bahaha. Y’all too funny. More like he’s going to make sure bulk, fraudulent mail in votes don’t make their way to the registrars’ office.
Be afraid—be very afraid!😆😆
Pretty hysterical accusation aimed towards Attorney General Barr concerning misuse of governmental powers given what happened in the last administration and election. Alinsky Rules for Radicals: Blame your enemy for what you are doing.
If Republicans have more States than Democrats, wouldn't unfair election practices benefit them more than they would Democrats?
If he does, he subjects himself to the death penalty. The Constitution is very clear on this matter.
I'm rose from California and i'm single with no kid DM me if interesting ❤
Lol. How many times has the media run articles saying, 1,700 former (insert target group here) say Trump is a bad boy...Here's one, 50 million former babies say their dying wish is defund Planned Parenthood.
America has to stand up!!!!!!
What political affiliation do those 1600 lawyers possess? Report that please!
Biden or Bi-Dumb Must watch this video
