More than 1,100 Former Justice Dept. Lawyers Press for Barr to Step Down
Feb 17, 2020 06:57:35 #
"More than 1,100 former federal prosecutors and Justice Department officials called on Attorney General William P. Barr on Sunday to step down after he intervened last week to lower the Justice Department’s sentencing recommendation for President Trump’s longtime friend Roger J. Stone Jr.
They also urged current government employees to report any signs of unethical behavior at the Justice Department to the agency’s inspector general and to Congress.
“Each of us strongly condemns President Trump’s and Attorney General Barr’s interference in the fair administration of justice,” the former Justice Department lawyers, who came from across the political spectrum, wrote in an open letter on Sunday."

It seems there are some Americans who can see the disaster trump is. A blind man on a galloping horse can see the shambles the country’s administration is.
The divisiveness rampant in the govt, & society, statesmanship is nonexistent.
Make it great again?? Give us a break??

They must all be either Dems or RINOs. 
"The open letter, signed by former DOJ employees who served under Democratic and Republican presidencies, accuses Barr of “doing the President’s personal bidding” and calls for his resignation.
“It is unheard of for the Department’s top leaders to overrule line prosecutors, who are following established policies, in order to give preferential treatment to a close associate of the President, as Attorney General Barr did in the Stone case,” the letter states.
“Those actions, and the damage they have done to the Department of Justice’s reputation for integrity and the rule of law, require Mr. Barr to resign.”

LOL, the what about so and so defense! Never fails! Is there some presumption that the 1100 were all libs? That would fit the typical narrative here.

The point is that this group of people are looking for anything that they can get upset about concerning our current President, all the while, ignoring any and all situations from our previous liar in chief.

Really? They verified that most of the 1100 were libs and this is merely another conspiracy move?
Further, is there some thought that they could be correct?
