of lying to Congress and witness tampering. “In the United States of America, we do not prosecute people based on politics, and we don’t cut them a break based on politics,” Zelinsky, who worked on Special Prosecutor’s team and is currently serving as an assistant U.S. attorney in Maryland, told the committee. “But that wasn’t what happened here. Roger Stone was treated differently because of politics.
The testimony of Elias and Zelinsky had the effect of completing the legal portrait of Barr—a person for whom there is no essential difference between belief in a strong executive and personally serving Donald Trump. It’s breathtaking in its completeness. There’s no bulwark against corruption—seemingly in Barr’s theory, the executive branch, of which the Department of Justice is a part, can take what it wants.
Barr set the tone for an unexpected Trumpian tenure in his handling of the Mueller report last year, when he chose to release a four-page letter effectively absolving the president and his campaign of wrongdoing. To many, the Mueller report moment marks when Barr crossed the Rubicon. The letter drew a rebuke from Mueller and his team. At the time, Barr was cast as doing Trump’s bidding and whitewashing the Russia investigation. But in hindsight, his motives appear more insidious.
TheRickWilson Barr will have the worst legacy coming out of this. He'll forever be remembered as a bag man for an autocrat, perverting the rule of law.
TheRickWilson Well, I think most Americans can relate to this. For most Americans, 'justice,' is getting what THEY want.
I see you're catching on...jig is up.

TheRickWilson That’s why he was picked. And he was confirmed. Let’s not forget the enablers of injustice.
Nothing lasts forever. Barr is in the crosshairs of true justice.
TheRickWilson The GOP is and always has been the worst stereotype of itself, there were just guardrails to keep that under wraps for a long while, but those have collapsed over the last few years.
SpiroAgnewGhost Barr is definitely with the Devil and so is Trump.
TheRickWilson Stonewall Barr is unwavering in his Stoogeness. A true-blue Trump minion.
TheRickWilson And what Trump wants is indistinguishable from what Putin wants
TheRickWilson I'm just amazed he doesn't have bronzer smeared on his face from keeping his head so far up Trump's butt all the time.
TheRickWilson Not to worry, he promised Democrats that he'll testify a MONTH from now.

DOJ whistleblowers argue department damaged by political interference from Barr, TrumpNEW: Former Stone prosecutor Aaron Zelinsky: “What I saw was that Roger Stone was being treated differently from every other defendant...And what I heard, repeatedly, was that this leniency was happening because of Stone’s relationship to the president.' When i say Trump's actions are straight out of the Dictator's Playbook, i am not being metaphorical. Streaming on Amazon and PBS Passport. Leniency? This is BS! No one else that committed a non violent crime would have his house raided like that Who? So who told you this? What specific person told you this and what did they say?
