5 Ways William Barr Aided in Turning America Into a Dictatorship

1. Barr misled the public about the contents of the Mueller report.

2. Barr refused to accept the findings of the inspector general report investigating the origins of the Russia probe.

3. Barr buried the whistleblower complaint that kick-started the impeachment inquiry and tried to keep it from reaching Congress.

4. He intervened in the sentencing of Roger Stone, Trump’s longtime confidant and adviser, who faced a prison sentence for obstructing Congress and witness tampering in connection with the Russia investigation.

5. Barr has green-lit an “intake process” for any information that Trump stooge Rudy Giuliani may dig up about Ukraine and the elections.

 

William Barr was installed as Attorney General specifically to turn the Department of Justice into an arm of the Trump Coverup. And we’ve seen him do exactly that. Barr corrupted and politicized the Department of Justice, working hand in hand with Donald Trump to bend federal law enforcement to the president’s will.

 

How Trump Loyalists In The DOJ Pushed Prosecutors To Protect ‘Individual-1’

U.S. attorney for SDNY Geoffrey Berman’s new book, “Holding the Line,” exposes the pressure from Trump acolytes at Main Justice to remove mentions of “Individual-1” from Michael Cohen’s charging document, holding up any further investigations of the matter for months.

Ex-US attorney says he was pressed to scrap Trump references in Michael Cohen case. Berman — whose office investigated multiple cases involving the then-president’s associates — also claimed the DOJ had asked him to “even things out” by prosecuting a Democrat after successfully prosecuting Cohen and former Republican Congressman Chris Collins.

“The Justice Department told us, ‘Hey, you have just indicted two allies of the president, Chris Collins, who is a Republican congressman from upstate New York, and Michael Cohen, who was the president’s lawyer and fixer, and it’s time for you guys to even things out and indict a Democrat before the midterm election,’” Berman said.  “It was something we never heard or seen before.”

Former Clinton Labor secretary Robert Reich says Trump’s Attorney General Bill Barr should be arrested and put in jail if he refuses to cooperate with Democrats in Congress. Reich tells The Beat, if Barr doesn’t comply with a congressional subpoena the public must think of it as “a constitutional crisis”.

In my opinion, William Barr is a Lawless Corrupt, Unpatriotic opportunist who lied to the American people about the Mueller Report and should be removed from office. He has a past history of coverups, appears to believe the President is above the law and it appears Trump hired him to be the AG for those reason. Barr seems more focused on protecting Trump, than impartially enforcing laws.

IMO, if Barr had any decency or intelligence, he would recognize how lawless Trump is and refuse to do Trump’s bidding or be associated with him.
