From WSJopinion: Bureaucrats bristle as Attorney General William Barr delivers on his pledge of accountability, writes KimStrassel

The Roger Stone sentencing uproar is deeply important, and not because it’s another Trump “scandal.” Rather, it’s a clash that was always coming—the moment at which an ungoverned bureaucracy smacked up against Attorney General William Barr’s promise to restore equal justice and accountability at the Justice Department.

opinion KimStrassel There will be no accountability

opinion KimStrassel Trump says: 'Fear Me, I have Barr.' Barr is Trumps fixer. First time in History, AG injects himself into prosecutorial cases. Friends or Foe's Who's next? Flynn- Car thieves, Pot Smokers don't you know; a guy who wears the military uniform can't do 6 months.

opinion KimStrassel Don't believe it

opinion KimStrassel Bill Barr is trolling.

opinion KimStrassel Happy days are here! We are now living in a “ Banana Republic”.

opinion KimStrassel Sentencing for 99.5% of the population would be per the guidelines with ½ given an expectation of early release; AND that is if they all agree to save taxpayers the cost of a trial. Stone probably chose trial hoping for a reduced sentence in case Trump was removed from office.

opinion KimStrassel Right on, Kimberly!

opinion KimStrassel ROTFLMAO

opinion KimStrassel Thinking about someone writing this literally reminds me of being an addict back when I was using. As in I would only do this to feed a dope habit that’s how little I’d have to care about my sense of self respect (I’m poor now. You couldn’t get me to put my name on this trash)

opinion KimStrassel This is so pathetic. How peoole maintain any self respect for yourself when they write and print this garbage is truly astounding to me I mean I just cannot picture myself or any halfway decent person I know (or even the slime balls I know) doing this

opinion KimStrassel Words vs Action

opinion KimStrassel WSJ has more spin cycles than a washing machine. All their writers are paid for amoralists

opinion KimStrassel 8 years of Obama administration corruption won't be rooted out overnight but one creature at a time.

opinion KimStrassel Oh is that what fixing cases for the president is called now? Accountability? Is the same scrutiny going to apply to cases ginned up against presidents enemies? Somehow I doubt it

opinion KimStrassel Who has received 'accountability' so far? We know who won't ( Comey, McCabe, etc.).

opinion KimStrassel Can the Wall Street Journal be more in Rupert Murdoch’s pockets? At least the news reporting is unbiased but the editorial columns are so skewed to the fox network agenda. I’m finding harder to use the WSJ as my newspaper of choice.

opinion KimStrassel Kim - they say everything Trump touches dies. Best of luck to your career in the post Trump era

opinion KimStrassel Kim - I can understand someone having strong fiscal and social conservative views, and to an extent I believe that’s who you are. But to defend Donald Trump and every single one of his actions, that’s make believe. You know it and so does everyone who reads the paper.

opinion KimStrassel KimStrassel is for A President for Life. She will support anything to keep the Dictator in power. Her immorality is STUNNING.

opinion KimStrassel this writer is a horse’s ass

opinion KimStrassel Kim - What’s it like to have to go to work every day and have to play a pretend character?

opinion KimStrassel Hard pass. There’s no point in reading Kim Strassel. She never holds Trump accountable. She just attacks the process of anyone attempting to hold him accountable. A joke column.

opinion KimStrassel You keep embarrassing yourself. Rupert must give out bonuses to write this stuff.

opinion KimStrassel Kim, you're full of 💩 & you know it!

opinion KimStrassel BarrLies What is the square root of a cover-up

opinion KimStrassel Kim Strassel getting ready to write an op-ed

opinion KimStrassel Krazy Kim with another pearl of idiocy

opinion KimStrassel Trying to turn the US into a theocracy has nothing to do with accountability. I see a FOIA in someone's future.

Lou Dobbs Loses It Over Bill Barr’s Criticism of Trump’s Tweets, Attacks ‘Rancid’ Justice DepartmentIf there’s one thing that Fox Business Network host Lou Dobbs absolutely cannot stand, it is criticism of President Donald Trump from other Republicans. Hours after Attorney General William Barr criticized Trump’s tweet about Roger Stone’s sentence recommendation and claimed it made it “impossible” to LOU DOBBS AGAIN.... I think this was orchestrated as well - just like Barr's feeble attempt at pretending to resist Trump. It’s staged.

‘Time To Stop The Tweeting’: Barr Says He Will Not Be Bullied By Trump On Roger Stone CaseAttorney General Bill Barr called for Trump to “stop the tweeting” after the president called prosecutors’ proposals for Roger Stone’s sentencing a “miscarriage of justice.” Simply because he is doing the president’s deeds and don’t want the entire world to know but trump can’t stay quiet. And everyone knows he means, 'Give me a call when you have anything to discuss. Let's not do this in public.' So he can’t have an opinion?

Despite Barr's warning, Trump insists he has a right to intervene in criminal casesPresident Trump insisted Friday he has the right to intervene in criminal cases despite Attorney General Bill Barr warning against that in an ABC News interview. Oh thats right Trump is above the law so that gives him the right. And Republicans in Congress have given him the green light!!!!! He didn't 'push' anything. He tweeted. Barr didn't go against him. He was instructed too. You needed to do a better job 3 yrs ago. It doesn't look like you can. Shame on all media, playing the ratings game. Disgusting. FAKE NEWS! POLITICAL THEATER!
