Critics have called Attorney General William Barr too willing to do the bidding of President Trump.

Justice Department attorneys say they've seen political pressure in big cases.
Zelinsky said the person in charge of the U.S. Attorney's office at the time was"receiving heavy pressure from the highest levels of the Department of Justice to cut Stone a break." Eventually, higher-ups in the office overrode the original recommendation about how stiffly to punish Stone and filed a new memo"at odds with the record and contrary to Department of Justice policy."
And in many cases, Zelinsky said, he will respect the DOJ's assertions of legal privileges. But, he added,"the deliberative process privilege does not apply when testimony sheds light on government misconduct, or when the government has disclosed deliberative information selectively and misleadingly."

The dirty corrupt Obama legacy
If a Dem member of the House Judiciary Comm represents you, urge them to subpoena Barr and follow up with inherent power of contempt Jerry Nadler, NY Chair Zoe Lofgren, CA Sheila Jackson Lee, TX Steve Cohen, TN Hank Johnson, GA Ted Deutch, FL Karen Bass, CA Cedric Richmond, LA
Lock Barr up in same cell with Trump.
Rich white trash
Check your sources.
Of course. Trump is a crook. Has been his entire life. Is congress going to do their job? Not likely.
Just in - NPR supports violent terrorist organizations and spreads lies.
Disgusting
jacquelynmgoss surprise
You mean like a judge that nothing to do with Mike Flynn case not letting the DOJ drop the case?
So?
Shocker
When will NPR be firing the those involved with editing the car ramming video to propagate a false story and narrative? Does NPR not care about journalistic integrity at all? NPR needs to be defunded immediately, Big Bird or not.
Barr looks like a pitbull eating mayonaise
FakeNewsNPR
Yes, the no name whistle blower. You have zero credibility DefundNPR
To the shock of literally NO one.

America is a corrupt third world country under this wackoman's adminisreation. The World pities America and Laughs !
Not surprising.
Isn't it ok to do that because he's on their 'side'.
Thought everybody knew this.
He should never been prosecuted in the first place, because Mueller should never have been appointed!
I guess that is what they have bosses for. Too bad they didnt start out well, and corrupted their own case.
If you don't believe the Trump and Barr will cheat in every way they can to get him reelected, you are not paying attention. Barr believes since he is the law he is above the law. Trump has been cheating all his life in everything he's done/
Zelinsky should testify under oath.
Five. More. Months. Of. Hell. voteblue2020
Why do these keep happening it’s like the president doesn’t care because nobody will stop him
When will Barr be arrested? Why doesn't the congress get off their asses and go after Barr? They're useless. SpeakerPelosi HouseDemocrats
According to a whistle-blower. Those have sure worked out well taking Trump down 👍
Sack him before he does more damage!
he should never even have been charged at all. Its all political theater. NPR do some actual reporting.
Nice to see National Propaganda Radio doing its job for the Chinese Communist Party...President Xi is pleased.
Didn't we already know that? Or was it just so blatantly obvious we assumed that was the case and were 100% right to do so?
And what he done, frankly speaking, to go to jail?
of course they did. The senate Repubs will just yawn at this corruption just like they did the corruption in the Whitehouse. We have to demand accountability! Where is the supreme court on the case for Trump's financial records? Why are they dragging their ass on this?
WilliamBarr needs to be prosecuted for abuse of power and obstruction of justice.
Duh
Poor guy was targeted by the crooked cops.
This is damning, but elected GOP do not care about anything other than unqualified far-right judges & tax cuts. Corruption is their brand. Cornyn TrumpResignNow
don-the-con trump IS NOT a: lawyer, Catholic, Jew, Muslim, teacher, brave, compassionate, minister, MD, ex-military, CFA, historian, porn star, literate, CPA, diplomat, honest, tax payer, trustworthy, farmer, loyal husband, law & order president, psychologist, clam, nor physic.
OBAMAGATE cnn FoxNews
Barr needs to go. He trampled on protesters rights when he ordered the clearing of Lafayette
Once “where there’s smoke there’s fire.” We’ve now progressed to “where there’s fire there’s fire 🔥 “
And I guess they should have to prove it in a court of law have paper document showing it because we have a paper document showing what Obama administration did and no one gives a flying fuck about that do they
A new whistleblower and all hell breaks loose somebody from the Democrat party is willing to sell their soul to the devil in life for the party so that they can go after Trump like they haven’t tried this one 1000 times before now
Duh. Did anyone think it was anything but political pressure?
“LAW & ORDER” realDonaldTrump 🤡
Good! FreeRogerStone
Roger Stone belongs in prison for a long time .. And so does Bill Barr and Donald Trump VoteTrumpOut to end the TrumpCorruption once and for all TheJusticeDept realDonaldTrump WhiteHouse senatemajldr GOPLeader GOP
National Propaganda Radio.
AG Barr is corrupt as much if not more as former Trump's personal attorney Michael Cohen, who was convicted for his actions serving Trump's interests. Perhaps, AG Barr should be tried for his actions too...
Duh. And no one cares. Because the prosecutors were over-sentencing and the DOJ has oversight. Period.
When is John Goodman going to play Bar on SNL?
Don't get me wrong, this absolutely sickens and angers me but...
We all knew this. When is something going to be done about Barr? He is killing our democracy as we sit helplessly by and watch! 🤬 ImpeachBarr DumpTrump Biden2020
We need More Colin Kaepernick In the news please associated press!
This is not a news flash.
Tell me, , what was Roger Stone guilty of? Lying to the FBI during a witch hunt. So what do you think he deserves, death penalty? Your hatred is showing big league. Sad.
So, the people who support this lot are also morally bankrupt, soulless, cowardly weasels?
😆😆😆😆😆😆😆 GAAAAAYYY!
have you not learned your lesson npr? stop with the bull shit. 'according to a whistleblower' so somebody said they heard something. wow, such powerful evidence. sounds like the same shit Schiff was spewing for 3 years that landed ZERO results.
this is fine
No shit
Oh my god!!!
FAKE NEWS! Every day.
The corruption never ends.
I wonder the politicians have 1% of time thinking about the country and America people. Poor Americans!
Of course....
Barr is setting himself up perfectly for a role in the next administration as Leavenworth librarian.
And? Is this now the end of the world? Won't he just be released because of Covid concerns? Cesspools like NYC have lots of violent Felons roaming the streets, adding life and diversity to public life there, .....?
What did he do wrong?
The amount of corruption in this administration is mind-boggling.
And the Republican SCOTUS says that was A-OK, then the Republican Senate passes a new law allowing the Republican DOJ to make it illegal to criticize them.
Is this a surprise? No. Is this shameful? Yes.... Once again.
'According' is your keyword here. Unbelievable! Wonder why nobody believes you
Should of been not guilty
Trump and Barr are killing justice in America. VoteBlueToSaveAmerica2020

Super.
Oh course they did. I can’t wait for the fall out!!!
