The former officials, who served under both Republican and Democratic administrations, criticized Barr, the country’s top law enforcement officer, for overruling his own prosecutors in a case that has prompted accusations that the Trump administration is weakening the rule of law. “It is unheard of for the Department’s top leaders to overrule line prosecutors, who are following established policies, in order to give preferential treatment to a close associate of the President, as Attorney General Barr did in the Stone case,” said the letter, published on the website Medium.

Nobody cares what ‘Former’ officials think. That’s why they are former officials. Maybe you should ask the 100,000 DOJ employees? They won’t agree.

Politics again

MSignorile I'm trying to find this letter, and not having luck.... where is a copy posted? The Medium article (sort of) cited in this Reuters article doesn't have a posted link afaict either.

Former..... lol ❤️

DeepState’rs trying to stop-up the Swamp.

Barr is Putin’s boy.

Barr when leaving for office locks up his home? None living there? Not locking up his wife & kids? Acknowledgement of law & order breakdown under his administration in his own neighborhood? Strange man administering justice as running dog for strange President?

They should also call for him to be disbarred.

Swamp crickets.

“Former” 😂

Hahahahaha

Nope, he's a trump's lapdog for now.

You mean the wastes that drove the United States directly into the ground? Cc BarackObama

He won’t tho

Where were they when Comey let HRC off the hook. Why don’t I hear them chastising the FISA courts or the officials invoked in that try scandal?

Since when do former employees have a say so? Our world is getting very weird!

Which means Barr will double down and turn the DOJ into a fortress with a big black tower and a fiery eye from which a foul shadow shall belch forth and fall over the land.

Did he quit yet?

Ex-DoJ officials telling America that DoJ officials are perfect, shouldn't be reviewed, shouldn't be criticized. Most Americans would love to work under those conditions. Many wrongly charged and/or incarcerated Americans would beg to differ.

The has been are seeking company.

The officials hired by Obama? Ah...

All those little democrat DOJ’s can go suck it.

Nothing can stop what is coming nothing much love from the ukxx Q sent me

When you drain a swamp there is a lot of ugly and mean things living at the bottom. MAGA

This is clearly an obstruction of justice by William Barr and Donald Trump. America is now caught in a political quagmire where even our justice system is under siege by Donald Trump.

Oh, you mean all the liberals who worked for a Obama? Ahhh. Well, they need not worry. They have no say in the matter. Bill Barr has done nothing wrong. They know it. It is all part of the idiots against Trump. TRUMP IN 2020!!!

before you resign first clean up your mess but don't forget to say goodbye when ya heading to jail.

Now we know who these deep state people are! They are the source of danger to American democracy. They believe their supreme elite class ruling and used to calling the shots because past presidents were simply their puppets, not any more!

You can’t link to it?

97% of DOJ's employees supported Hillary against Trump and they have been among the most active and abusive Deep-Staters against him and his people (the notorious Muller prosecutors among them). Of course they oppose Barr's efforts to shed light on that.

One thousand officials is pretty impressive, proves just how corrupt, immoral Barr is.

America has a dictatorship.

Please hold your breath while waiting, thanks.

A survey passed around by left wing group. I love how the article says 'the prosecutors served both Dem and Republican admins. As if the admin you serve indicates your political leanings

He can't resign. He will end up in jail.

The swamp is unhappy

Like Barr or trump care? The GOP has handed trump unlimited power. We must vote that mess out in November

WE WILL NEVER TRUST YOU AGAIN! .GenFlynn’s life was destroyed over a voluntary conversation with dirty FBI agents ordered to frame him by McCabe.
