WASHINGTON – Former Justice Department attorneys expressed concerns Thursday that Attorney General William Barr is using the power of the agency to help President Donald Trump win reelection, citing statements Barr had made about mail-in ballots and the politically fraught inquiry into the Russia investigation.
"People are trying to change the rules to this, to this methodology – which, as a matter of logic, is very open to fraud and coercion – is reckless and dangerous and people are playing with fire," the attorney general said in an interview with CNN last month.Last week, the Justice Department announced an investigation into nine discarded mail-in ballots reportedly recovered from a county elections office in northeast Pennsylvania.
The letter also called out Barr over his recent remarks 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.
Key word “former”
🤦🏻♀️
Who knew the corrupt swamp was so vast? 1600? Wow.
We now have the names of 1,600 panicked corrupt traitors. Makes prosecution much easier. Much appreciated.

DrainTheSwamp
followthemoney
How do they feel about illegal spying and a coup attempt by Obama criminals in the FBI/DOJ?
16 million support you, worldwide..
Lol former Obama hench men accuse Barr of using DOJ to help President Trump win election.....
Nice!
Here for the ratio. 😀
rmoreau2014 He's his wingman
Stop using former why can't you come up with current? current lawyers current Republicans current Democrats current anything but no everything you guys use is somebody that's a former
Nah, the DOJ is now just starting to do their job. Investigating.
🤦🏻♀️
How come it's always FORMER lawyers?
Deep state creatures panicking.
What. If he did wouldnt THAT BE RISKY. WHAT A DUM STATEMENT GOGETEMAGBARR
Of course they did, QuidProQuo goes both ways. Where do you think Government workers come from Dems
There's a reason why they are former, because they were shitty at their job! Keep, draining the swamp, AG Barr!! Trump2020 VoteRed2020
Is this a serious headline? After release of the FISA abuse & the Steele dossier information?
There us a lot of shady business coming to light. Career beaurocrats do not like transparency I see. These people are insufferable!💯
keyword: 'FORMER' which means they're FORMER for a reason.
Trump simply has something on Barr, and from what is being spread around, in articles, it has to do with Barr's Father and Epstien. But it seems to be pure conjecture. Is interesting.. read up make your own mind up.
He is doing his job in cleaning up the shit show of a mess the democrats have slowly put in place over a decade. Evidences are all over the place. It’s just that people in high places are being sheltered and protected.
'Former' LOL.
Who owns Yahoo! News oh yeah that’s what I thought🤣🤣🤣
dwh112655 Good. Because he did,
Lol yeah right
Put “BARR BEHIND BARS”
1600 swamp rats. Lock these treasonous scumbags up!
This is getting old. So old people no longer read the article or give it credit. Yahoo News needs to hire Someone over the age of twelve.
Must be getting real close.
Sounds like the old climate fraud scam but in legal formation. Look we have 'consensus' wonder how much it cost $$$
Man this is getting old...
Panic in DC !!! Even many in the MSM are going to jail.
yahoo website turned off its comments because they mostly supported trump LOL
funny theu never accused him of that when ragan was potus explain why he would all of a sudden change his policy more liberal bull shit
Barr is my new patron saint.
Stick an Apple in this one’s mouth🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Lock Barr up
If They are former employees then how do they know?
Barr is looking like a dirty pit bull
Breaking 1600 swamp creatures with sealed indictments are very nervous
Sure Yahoo news, who also put out the fake dossier.
The operative word is ‘former!’ Nobody gives a fig what these swamp rats think! LawAndOrder KerriKupecDOJ realDonaldTrump
Out of an estimated near 50K former workers. Next manufactured outrage lie.
1600 former DOJ lawyers will be weighed and measured next year. Trump2020Landslide
In a team of 10,000 I believe...
And you stand accused of hate filled, divisive propaganda! See how that works?
Is this the same list of former DOJ lawyers that first appeared in 2016 and then numerous times afterward?
That is why they are former employees . Obama / Holder thugs
Dc is panicking, they remember hillary said ' if i go down, i'll take half of dc with me
Former
That sounds like obama and erik holder , doesn't it, that may be where they got that shit from
Seriously?! Have you reported about the damage and destruction Antifa and BLM have caused? Are you willing to discuss why the Democrats aren’t willing to denounce the anarchists?
When you start shining the light on cockroaches they start scurrying.
😂😂😂
Sounds like many are very worried.
The streets talk. The word must be bad....
60M Americans accuse former Justice Department lawyers of complicity (before or after the fact) with regard to Conspiracy Theory that became Crossfire Hurricane.
90% of government employees are democrats.
That says a lot... that actually doing the job of the attorney general and prosecuting crimes would help a political candidate... must mean that there’s a lot of criminals in politics... 😏
Names or it never happened.
I’m sure they did! They are scared AF! 😂
Now we know who will lose their pensions ... and what % do you think will GO TO PRISON
And this is why we the people read nothing on your website. Please just stop tweeting. No one cares.
“former” = swamp rats
TinaHerig 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
Total BS
Key word being *former* Is this the best you have Yahoo?
The word “former” speaks volumes about their opposition!👀
Who cares the key word is FORMER!!
Former 😂😂😂😂
All Democrats of course 😂😂😂😂
SafirbluPatriot Doubtful 😂🤣😂 Yahoo is FakeNews
Oh... more useless complaints from worthless “has been’s” who either quit or got fired. Good job, 👍🏼
1600 Clinton, Bush, Obama lawyers. They are nil and void.
Whoopi F**king doo!
Former
I love when swamp rats expose themselves. Takes all the guess work out of it.
“”1600”” Pennsylvania Avenue NW in Washington, D.C. doesn’t give a fuk ! Deep state is going down
former 😂😂😂
Look over there, not over here
😂😂After what Trump has gone through the last 5 years and the way Comey handled the Hillary scandle, this is hilarious!!!😂🤣🤣
the swamp knows their ass is grass
That's 1,600 folks that doxed themselves as bought and payed for!
Name lists are helpful.
hahahahahaha, Yahoo News that is the biggest joke of all!
FORMER. SO... Swamp endorses swamp. Gotcha.
1600 🤣😂
Yahoo News.... 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Well at least their already former, I would have been a perfect 'you're fired' list.
Same list of deep staters that complain about everything.
🤣😂🤣😂
Former 😏
What’s a matter? Worried about the
Irrelevant. Why do you think former employees matter? They don't. No minds will be changed.
Swamp Speak
AG Barr is pledged to uphold law and order and that's what he'll do regardless of political impact. On the other hand, AG Holder declared he was Obama's 'wingman':
1600 Trump hating Democrats.
He must be over the target. Keep going Barr!
Citizens of the US are winning. Democrats are loosing control. United we are strong. Panic in DC. Think. Media has been controlling us for too long. Power back to the people. We need new government.
Former is the key word.
Key word: Former.
Former .. translation- Team Obama
'Former' Thankfully
Deep State further self identifies. Good.
Bringing up disgruntled ex-employees doesn't sway anyone.
Dems in panic mode! 🤣
just goes to show how fckn deep and corrupt the whole JD, DOJ DNI FBI CIA really are. 1600, come on man ! joke ! this is the greatest president ever. they just want power and thats all there is about it.
Now do Yahoo News used to support fake Russia collusion by being used for circular reporting of the dossier paid for by Hillary Clinton to impact the 2016 election through a weaponized DOJ, CIA, DNI and FBI
Circling around their meal wagons.
How many JD lawyers accused comey of using the DOJ to help re-elect hag hilldo?
The operative word is FORMER!! 😂
1600 former lawyers are deep state DFs who like their cushy jobs, they don't want to be held responsible for the morass we are in. Their opinions hold no weight beyond their narcissistic , self serving greed.
Those former lawyers are loser, lost job and just complainers
All these former what evers, do they have them on speed dial? All these old legislators who had a hand in the policies oppressing this country, Oh the irony...
1,600 Deep State hacks just outed themselves.
Who gives a rat's ass?
Former is always the key 🔑 word
Lol..... 😂 This is what PANIC looks like!
Did he send the F.B.I. in to spy on Biden? That would be a step too far! Oh wait.......
Former = Democrat
Emphasis on: FORMER And there will be a whole lot more 'former' employees to join 'em if there's any justice.
Sounds to me like they're panicked
So how many lawyers are there in the U.S.? 1600 is just a drop in the bucket. Why print this? Not much of a story.
He is? If thats the case, he needs to do a better job at it. The DOJ can easily arrest HRC, Comey, Brennan....and they have a good case against Obama at this point since he was in the Jan 5 oval office coup meeting. You know the one where dumb Joe brought up the Logan Act.
Cobra627 I wish
Not surprising, TRUMP has a penchant for hiring & using YES PEOPLE feeds his ego.
So said attorneys that worked for a department that illegally spied on the incoming administration for political reasons. Ho-hum.
Help Trump 'put criminals where they belong', there fixed it for you.
Hope he stays strong! We need Justice!
helping trump = fight cheating, chinese yahoo.
“Former”
Never Trumpers!
Hahahaha Former government fleas have to find a different dog to live off of...so what?
The DOJ is clearly created to only fabricate evidence and conspiracies to hurt Trump—Com’on B2, get with the script!
Barr's days are numbered too.
Bill Barr personally is sending ballots out to dead and moved voters I heard.
Those lawyers are garbage. The garbage needs to be taken out everyday, because it stinks.
Try not spying on the president next time. Or burning cities down. Try not doing that and maybe it would work out better for you. 🤷♂️
Ya-who?
Swamp creatures squealing. Panic in DC!
[former] 🙄
Not surprised at all
More accusations that will go NOWHERE
🤣 PANIC
Former? The key word is ‘former’ justice department employees!
I say a job well done - Barr
Where is the fact check Twitter
Bullshit
But the pools show Biden ahead? Why would the Lawyers need to accuse this. When the polls show Biden ahead? Unless they don't trust the polls :)
And how many former justice department lawyers are there
Panic over the crimes DOJ ,FBI and CIA committed. Barr is disinfecting by bringing in the sunlight
is awful..
Yeah, might make sense if the FBI and CIA were actually declassifying documents instead of slow walking the process.
Yeah not gonna work, nice try guys👍
Lol. You people are desperate.
Just in time for indictments to drop.
Silence on Obama, Brennon, Comey, Susan Rice, Clinton and a corrupt Obama DOJ trying to single handily overturn the 2016 election? Cuz that actually happened. It’s now public Information, well documented and vastly ignored.
Let me guess 1600 former democrat Justice Department lawyers. Also, these government workers have gotten away with their corruption because there’s ALWAYS an election.
Swamp rats saying ther’s bias. Everybody sees this for what it is. Go back to your swamp!
Expose all 1,600 of them!!
PainIsComing
Swamp is deep and wide
They sound panicked
The article could easily have the alternative headline '1,600 former DOJ employees complain that their prior behavior is being scrutinized'.
Killary is probably threatening every one of them.
But has he laid up on a beach in Hawaii with him every Christmas like Holder did with Obama? FakeNews
1600 Democrats?
Ex employees. Who cares.
Good. Now we have identified precisely who the 1600 Deep State former Justice Dept Lawyers are!
Disgruntled traitors...yeah, we heard.
That claim is BS. We're actually getting pissed that nothing seems to be coming from all these investigations. So no, I don't believe he's helping Trump in reelection.
Let the swamp creatures keep exposing themselves
Accuse and cry all you want, everything he does will be by law. Anyone accused of actual crimes will be tried in a court of law. The House will slander him baselessly as long as Pelosi remains SoH. Carry on, AG Barr.
It's pretty obvious
Lawyers or ambulance chasers?
I can’t wait until the social media and internet companies go dark and senior officials arrested for their crimes—- for they are many..... it’s coming!!!
'former'
WTH!
.....says agenda driven Yahoo News Rag! 👌🏿😆
'1,600 former DC swamp rats accuse Barr of using DOJ to help do his f*cking job.' There. Fixed it for ya.
Deep State anyone?
lol!!!! Yahoo with the name news next to it is a joke. 1,600 corrupt swamp creatures who are whining because they've been exposed as the cock roaches they are.
The Deep State is scared.
fk um
panic
Simply because they were part of the problem for a long time. So don't waste your breath 😜
Thank God !! Obama drone bomb to 16-year-old and his father
Isn’t that rich, coming from the same agencies that tried to prevent Trump from winning in 2016 🙄
Former or recent JD lawyers are not wrong in their criticism of Barr. In normal times Barr would have been impeached for his interference in the Mueller investigation, help Trump's convicted felon friends and not supporting the JD's role of impartial justice.
Yahoo News needs to hire investigative reporters, not reactive journalists running cover for corrupt bureaucrats.
FORMER.... that's the key word!
Lol former
'Former' lol
Meaningless.
Look one sided BS all day, everyday.
You mean 1600 communist ex justice department lawyers.
Former. Former DOJ lawyers. Meaning before. Has been. Not now.
Pray - Pray -Pray 💥🙏🏼💥🙏🏼💥🙏🏼💥🙌🏼
😂 swamp rats
'Former' being the operative word here. FakeNews is getting worse and worse. They will manipulate any headline to create controversy and sow dissent. Absolute 🗑
Yawn.....get in line. Hahahahaha
Barr should be dis-barr-ed!
operative word: former
We've already heard that before and from what I can see they haven't
Another made up story. Yahoo is not a news organization
Former for a reason obviously; and people trust lawyers now? ...did I miss the memo? This has FakeNews written all over it.
Former means: No Longer Working There. Sour Grapes from the drained swamp creatures.
😴😴😴😴😴 They need to realize they lost. Game is over. The dems will never recover. American citizens are taking our country back!
There is your GTMO interrogation list Barr. We are not going to allow you to overthrow this Republic. China, Russia, Qatar, Iran and Democrats/Deep State/Antifa/BLM/DSA/CAIR. We see it.
This should say '1600 citizens'
All exposed.🤡😅
Did they happen to be in DOJ/FBI/CIA/NSA/DNI during Obama-Biden? 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I've just received a list of 1,600 former Justice Department lawyers that need to be investigated for crimes against humanity.
Lol... I suspect this tweet will not age well. I also propose a little self reflection.
So when the intelligence apparatus uses foreign disinformation to spy on political enemies, that’s perfectly fine But when DOJ holds those individuals accountable, it’s somehow improper because it may impact the election. Because running for office makes you immune to scrutiny
Is that the sam 1600 that have been whining for 3 1/2 years? Nobody gives a shit what FORMER anyone says, especially lawyers! RidiculousBullShit FakeNews EnemyOfThePeople
And there goes the kitchen sink lol.
Bye swamp creatures...your reign has ended
Just makes me wonder what kind of corruption those 1,600 have been involved in. President Trump is an anti-corruption President. The corrupt know and they scream the loudest.
Panic in DC
Keep these names handy, these are the MARXISTS JUDGES we will need to clear THE COMMIES OUT OF OUR GOVERNMENTS !!!!
Lol 😂😆🤣😂 P A N I C You have no more power. Signed, 63 million people that voted for Trump.
agnew122 Amazing how the people who wouldn’t care about a homicide on 5th Avenue can’t get the point. Huge numbers of people are formerly something. It generally indicates experience and expertise. But if you’re intent on supporting evil, there’s no point in further discussion.
And all 1600 probably have indictments against them for corruption. What a shocker.
Deep state trying to hang on
Desperate much? We're dealing with Domestic Terrorism and their sympathetic Democrat Governors go cover Biden's impending doom. Deep State is going down.
DC is pretty much ALL lawyers. No one cares. Trump is threatening the status quo and they are clearly scared about what is being exposed.
Everyone has woken up to what you leftist idiots have been doing in our country... it's about time to pay the piper. Those of us that actually love this country are taking it back from those of you that clearly do not.
1600 people trying to cover up their swamp activity
Panic in DC
So the Swamp Rats are pretty worried. Nice.
Yahoo ok and you don’t carry the Democratic party’s water
Former for a reason.
DemPanic 😂😂😂😂😂 indictments treason sedition 14thAmendment Trump2020NowMoreThanEver 🇺🇸
1,600 former JD lawyers use their jobs to promote the Democrat Party. Done.
Trump administration slashes refugee program amid president's campaign attacks on immigrants via Yahoo
🤣🤣🤣Their melting...😁
This is what deep state panic looks like.
FORMER FOR A REASON
Former! 😂😂
Yawn
Democrats are terrified their years of crime and corruption will be held to FINALLY account. America sees it and clowns like Yahoo 'news' are doing everything they can to continue the gaslighting.....but it's not working.
PANIC
Rachel_McRea
janet_yackle And they intend to do what exactly? Talk is cheap.
And 1,600 criminals expose themselves 🤡clownworld fishingfun
The traitors and swamp rates keep exposing themselves. Thanks
1,600 pedophiles most likely.
There you go with the 'former' lawyers. How bad do you have to be to be a 'former lawyer'?
Nothing more untrustworthy than a former DOJ lawyer. 90% of lawyers are democrats. Enough said.
In related news, 1,600 former Justice Department lawyers are terrified their chicanery, malfeasance and grifting will be discovered.
Lol, he hasn’t even done anything... Yet! They’re jumping the gun
'Former' for a reason.
PanicInDC
Yahoo disabled comments because they were getting slaughtered by people calling them on their propaganda.
Unfortunately, Government agencies are infested with Democrat's and their corruption.
1600 swamp creatures who got their asses fired.
Translation: 1600 Deep State lawyers who have something to hide are trying to stop Bill Barr from draining the swamp.
Show us the “open letter” with names signed. Makes it easier to identify former or still active swamp.
FORMER!!!!!!!
FORMER... How do they know this?
panicindc DrainTheSwamp
For a 'news' organization you really don't have any idea what's going on. Baffling
Key word: FORMER
The swamp is panicking
Just glad that nobody takes serious
The Trump Administration is coming up against many dark forces! Pray for their protection. If anything, we are seeing just how DEEP the swamp is!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
