The problem with criminals who keep getting away with criminal behavior is that they keep amping up the kind of criminal behavior they are trying to get away with.
Courtesy of NYT:
Attorney General William P. Barr has assigned an outside prosecutor to scrutinize the criminal case against President Trump’s former national security adviser Michael T. Flynn, according to people familiar with the matter.
The review is highly unusual and could trigger more accusations of political interference by top Justice Department officials into the work of career prosecutors.
Mr. Barr has also installed a handful of outside prosecutors to broadly review the handling of other politically sensitive national-security cases in the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington, the people said. The team includes at least one prosecutor from the office of the United States attorney in St. Louis, Jeff Jensen, who is handling the Flynn matter, as well as prosecutors from the office of the deputy attorney general, Jeffrey A. Rosen.
Over the past two weeks, the outside prosecutors have begun grilling line prosecutors in the Washington office about various cases — some public, some not — including investigative steps, prosecutorial actions and why they took them, according to the people. They spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive internal deliberations.
This is right out in the open interference by the Justice Department, as clearly directed by the White House, in our criminal justice system.
The fact that Republicans in Washington are turning a blind eye means that each and every one of them are a traitor to their country.
Thankfully not everybody is turning a blind eye.

Attorney General William Barr has been named in a formal complaint with both the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) and Office of the Inspector General (OIG).
Citing his recent and by now well-documented intervention into the DOJ decision-making process vis-à-vis sentencing recommendations in the Roger Stone case as just one of many instances in which the attorney general has interfered in an ongoing process, the 10-page complaint filed by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) accuses Barr of violating several Justice Department rules, guidelines and procedures.
Addressed to OPR Acting Director and Chief Counsel Jeffrey Ragsdale and OIG Inspector General Michael Horowitz, the filing “respectfully requests” that both oversight agencies “investigate public statements” made by Barr “that are prejudicial to persons who are the focus of” various pending DOJ cases, controversies and investigations because such comments ”appear to violate rules intended to protect due process and privacy interests afforded to persons under investigation.”
I am not sure if this will actually have much of an impact, but at least somebody is doing something.
To put a definite stop to all of this we are going to have to show up in huge number at the polls in November.
Show up senate//house elections and down ticket for sure. If anyone thinks the electoral college will not elect him for a second, pull your head out.
I just don’t GET it. You’re shown stuff in spades, yet too stupid to realize it.
https://www.rawstory.com/2020/02/bill-barr-accused-of-an-ongoing-pattern-of-perjury-from-day-one-by-former-prosecutor/ What did you expect? All other drumpf cabinet members committed perjury, some numerous times and wingnuts gave them a pass. This election is critical if we are to save this nation from crooked effing wingnuts!
Lol ok Gryph.
Lets face it, our country faced the enemy from within over the last election and the Obama admin and Hillary and the DNC….. ALL of them breaking the law.
Trump will get it straightened out and all the deep state political operatives will be out on their asses and may face criminal penalties.
If they all were, there would be no congress either. “Maybe” a Supreme Court of a couple.
Boy somebody has been mainlining talk radio.
No matter how hard you believe in fantasies, they will always remain fantasies unless you have the facts to back them up.
Just what I was thinking. Same words same phrasing same cadence same dog whistles. Marco,is that you? Next it’ll be bragging how trump is donating his salary to veterans. For what? Tylenol for concussion induced headaches. And they call lefties sheep. If they had an original thought they would stroke out.
3:17 here, Gryph, not me. NEVER.
I just don’t believe what I’m being fed anymore either side and I don’t have to.
Snowflake on glue alert, above. No proof as per usual. Just the same old tired nutjob propaganda I have been hearing for ,like forever. Stormfront appears to be missing the village idiot.
Honest to God, mike from Iowa, who knows the truth anymore. SO sad what was once a great country.

What a miserable coward, afraid to do a measly six months in a minimum security prison. Worst case scenario would be him working in the mailroom; with his vast education and background he would probably be in a clerical position or a Chaplain’s assistant, the horrors! It’s probably one of those places where they don’t even use terms like cell but instead dorm or bunk. Bear in mind his military benefits are in no way affected; he’ll still be drawing a fat retirement and disability check during and after prison. When he was in command positions, just how many military personnel was he responsible for, either through initiating court martials or testifying against, sending to prison with long term sentences for less grave offenses, where they’d lose all their benefits and be dismissed with a bad conduct/dishonorable discharge? Unreal, anyone who served under him should be embarrassed! Rank really doesn’t mean much.

“He was probably one of the best public integrity prosecutors this country has,”
“The president has made it clear that his insistence on loyalty includes loyalty from the institutions that administer criminal justice, including DOJ and the FBI,” said NYU’s Gellers. “You might say without exaggeration that Trump wants personal loyalty from the rule of law itself.”
Over 1,100 former DOJ officials are calling for Barr to resign in an open letter.

“More than 1,100 former federal prosecutors and Justice Department officials are calling on Attorney General William Barr to resign following reports Barr and President Donald Trump intervened in the criminal prosecution of Trump’s friend Roger Stone.
In an open letter released Sunday, the former officials say Barr broke Justice Department rules when he overruled federal prosecutors in Stone’s criminal case, seeking a far more lenient sentence than the potential nine years prosecutors originally recommended. ”

“Such behavior is a grave threat to the fair administration of justice. In this nation, we are all equal before the law. A person should not be given special treatment in a criminal prosecution because they are a close political ally of the President. Governments that use the enormous power of law enforcement to punish their enemies and reward their allies are not constitutional republics; they are autocracies.”
