Trump/Barr DOJ —Barr’s onerous abuse of authority and obsequious fealty to Trump by targeting the; New York Times. Washington Post. CNN. Members of Congress - it is antithetical to our Democracy
Incredible reporting. Thank you as always. I was saving this read until my day slowed, and I am glad I did.
It drives crazy that people are being impatient with Garland. As you say, he just took over and was handed a huge pile of crazy. Hopefully, he will cleanse the DOJ of any tainted by Barr and RR who certainly deserve their own comeuppance. As for the rape case, trump is the worst POTUS ever, but that case should not have come forward while he was in office. Can you imagine the insane lawsuits from the GQP if the DOJ doesn't protect Biden too?!
This newsletter is a difficult, intensive read, and it’s also unbelievable; a complete “Wow.”
The videos of testimony from Elias, Ayer and Horowitz clearly present portraits of integrity, and it is shocking to hear the warnings from these men, side-by-side with our full understanding that their sincere efforts will be rendered impotent due to the depth of corruption in the modern GOP, and the DoJ under William Barr.
Holy God, you’re a tower of strength, Mic; I don’t know how you carry on so valiantly, (especially) in spite of the efforts to silence your massive contributions. The scale of these comprehensive assaults on democracy is terrifying. Some of us are feeling both depleted and debilitated by the years-long adrenal surge, and others have had to look away out of self-preservation. It’s impossible that you’re not feeling this same sense of exhaustion, yet you continue to inspire.
Thank you as always. A lot of information to perseverance on. One of the greatest tragedies in the aftermath of the Trump era, is the ongoing damage to our institutions. As you stated, our most revered institution is not oonly under attack, but has been politicized. It can’t be a Trump justice or a Biden justice. The erosion of faith in our institutions is heartbreaking and an affront to all long-standing public servants whose love of the law and justice department are what make our country unique. Will keep returning to this to absorb more. I would like to see Rosenstein questioned as well as Barr and agree that the ABA should revoke his law license. They should revoke anyone’s law license whether left or right, if they violated their oath to uphold the law.
I want to chime in and thank you, too. Agree, this is in parts difficult to follow/understand, but yes, we need laws to prevent this from ever happening again. And it sounds like a Special Counsel is very much needed in order to hold certain folks (like former AG Barr, Acting AG Rosenstein etc accountable. An IG cannot really recommend indictments, right? Who would then file charges if the report warrants it? I assume the new AG? Thank you for all you do! Have a great day!
