Möge Bill Barr in der Hölle schmoren!

On May 30, Bill Barr, without presenting evidence or charges, blamed "far left" groups for violence after a Minneapolis police bldg was set ablaze.

Today, DOJ is charging *right-wing* saboteurs with attacking that building.

But Barr's damage was done.

Die letzten Wochen hat Barr die Füße still gehalten:

Hundreds of attorneys and judges are offering support to Justice Department officials who resign or speak out about what they say is “political misuse” of the department by Attorney General William Barr in the lead-up to the Nov. 3 presidential election.

In an open letter, Lawyers Defending American Democracy, a nonpartisan group of legal professionals that includes attorneys and former federal and state judges, say they are expressing their support for Department of Justice (DOJ) officials who “may face difficult choices about participating in political misuse of the DOJ.”

[...]

In May, nearly 2,000 former DOJ officials called on Barr to resign after charges against former national security adviser Michael Flynn were dropped. Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to FBI investigators, but Barr decided to end the investigation.

The group, some of which include DOJ alumni, previously called for Barr to step down in February after he overruled the sentencing recommendation of Roger Stone, a close Trump associate.
