Tiberius Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 (edited) They explained: Quote The Justice Manual — the DOJ’s rulebook for its lawyers — states that “the rule of law depends on the evenhanded administration of justice”; that the Department’s legal decisions “must be impartial and insulated from political influence”; and that the Department’s prosecutorial powers, in particular, must be “exercised free from partisan consideration.” All DOJ lawyers are well-versed in these rules, regulations, and constitutional commands. They stand for the proposition that political interference in the conduct of a criminal prosecution is anathema to the Department’s core mission and to its sacred obligation to ensure equal justice under the law. The former employees wrote that “it is unheard of for the Department’s top leaders to overrule line prosecutors, who are following established policies. … It is even more outrageous for the Attorney General to intervene as he did here — after the President publicly condemned the sentencing recommendation that line prosecutors had already filed in court.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/02/17/doj-alumni-staff-attorneys-resist/ Edited February 18, 2020 by Tiberius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The jobs created most likely will pay more than the laundromat. I don't really want any more crap around than what already is but if I can't fight you might as well get paid to handle it.

123719bwiqrb Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Why 1,100? Why not 17 (see Hilldawg, 2016)? Or 1,117? When making an inane point, it is better to reference a number that is very specific. Makes it more believable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They literally have a vested interest in the outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Callahan Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Letter is from "protect Democracy" think tank. And is being parroted en mass by the usual MSM/troll farms to attack Barr and the DOJ and hence is why it was used to start a thread in here. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan on assuming the role at some future point, I just have to figure out how to pay for lawyer school, apply, get accepted and pass a bar. So far, I have well over 3 people who have signed my letter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am speaking truth to power to elevate the masses against such hateful and hurtful rhetoric. Also, your hat frightens and scares me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 (edited) Leftwing Group Organized Barr Attack Letter The letter is just another Destroy Trump mission funded by leftists to deceive and inflame the public. By Julie Kelly The headline sounded ominous: “Former Justice Dept. Lawyers Press for Barr to Step Down,” blared an article in Sunday’s New York Times. More than 1,100 former federal prosecutors signed a letter to condemn Attorney General William Barr and encourage Justice Department employees to tattle on the nation’s top lawman if they see anything naughty. The lawyers were outraged at Barr’s decision to override “line prosecutors,” including two holdovers from the Robert Mueller investigation, who had recommended an excessive sentence against Roger Stone. “Barr’s actions in doing the President’s personal bidding unfortunately speak louder than his words,” they wrote. “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.” Times reporter Katie Benner, trying to make the stunt look like a legitimate grassroots effort, attributed the letter to Protect Democracy, which she described as a “nonprofit legal group.” But Protect Democracy is not an organic activist group spontaneously created by high-minded legal experts alarmed by Trump’s alleged flouting of the rule of law. Protect Democracy was launched in early 2017 as part of an extensive anti-Trump operation managed by a leftwing tech billionaire: Pierre Omidyar, the founder of eBay. This is who is behind Protect Democracy and a number of other nonprofits formed to destroy the president. Protect Democracy houses a number of former Democratic staffers—including a former aide to Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.)—and Obama White House alumni. Ricki Seidman, last seen advising Christine Blasey Ford, is a director for Protect Democracy. Several NeverTrumpers also are involved with Protect Democracy; National Review columnists Mona Charen and Linda Chavez, ABC News pundit Matthew Dowd, and failed presidential candidate Evan McMullin serve as advisors. As I’ve reported before, Omidyar is the sugar daddy for many NeverTrump outlets. The Bulwark, the offshoot of the shuttered Weekly Standard, is partially funded by Omidyar: Charlie Sykes, the Bulwark’s editor-in-chief, serves on the board of Democracy Fund. Omidyar also funds Republicans for the Rule of Law, headed by Bill Kristol; Lawfare, a central peddler of Russian collusion hoax propaganda; R Street, home to disgraced FBI lawyer James Baker; and Stand-Up Republic, headed by McMullin. All have been on the attack against Trump and Barr. The letter dominated social media on Sunday; #FormerJusticeDept trended most of the day. Other news outlets picked up Benner’s misleading account of the stunt. But despite what the Times and other reporters want the public to believe, it was far from authentic—just another Destroy Trump mission funded by leftists to deceive and inflame the public.
