Attorney General William P. Barr

It most certainly IS being dismantled, Noirman. All of it being rendered subject to the absolute will of Trump. Case in point, imagine if you will, the state of the nation having been so CORRUPTED, on a regular basis, that legal experts would actually be STUNNED by a judge's recognition of Barr's OBVIOUS COMPLICITY with the oval office occupier.

Barr is wrong that “a free society depends upon a vibrant religious life among the people.” It depends upon government protecting everyone’s right to worship or not w/out conditioning freedom on “vibrant religious” worshipping. Barr’s rhetoric is as dangerous as it is un-American.

Obviously I think that religion is one of the most dangerous institutions on the planet. It captures and holds hostage the empathy and imagination of the humans that it entraps.

It actually is very un-American and quite dangerous.

Attorneys Slam Williams Barr's Fox Interview | Law & Crime
https://lawandcrime.com/high-profil...r-after-mind-boggling-fox-news-interview/amp/

Attorney General William Barr gave a wide-ranging interview on Wednesday evening with Fox News, in which condemned the Russia investigation, blamed the media for demonizing hydroxychloroquine, and criticized social distancing measures as “draconian.” Many attorneys and former Justice Department officials reacted by saying it was clear the nation’s top law enforcement official has eliminated any remaining semblance of objectivity.​

Bill Barr pushed Australia for dirt on Mueller investigation while his department was assisting in hostage negotiations: report – Raw Story
https://www.rawstory.com/2020/04/bi...was-assisting-in-hostage-negotiations-report/

According to a report at the Daily Beast, Attorney General William Barr pressed officials in Australia for information on Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation at the same time members of his Justice Department were assisting the Australians with hostage negotiations with Tehran.

In the exclusive report from Erin Banco and Lachlan Cartwright, they reveal that the conversations took place back in September before House Democrats sent articles on impeachment to the GOP-controlled Senate related to Donald Trump quid pro quo dealings with Ukraine while searching for dirt on former Vice President Joe Biden.

According to the report, “In a series of conversations last September, senior Department of Justice officials worked with representatives of the Australian government to hammer out an arrangement to win the release of a pair of Australian bloggers imprisoned in Tehran,” at the same time Barr was making inquiries about the genesis of Robert Mueller’s investigation into the president’s ties to Russia at the time of the 2016 election.​

An Op-ed from the Kos:
A Possible Urgent New Reason AG Barr Must Be Impeached

excerpt:

Admittedly, in terms of the evidence that Barr is being groomed for a major role in such a possible coup, reaching that conclusion requires an intuitive leap from various pieces of evidence. But, especially given the stakes, that leap seems warranted. If it were true, these would be the early signs—and we cannot afford to simply recognize them in retrospect.

These pieces of evidence – accumulating over the course of months – show Trump and Barr incrementally transforming Barr’s role incrementally into that of an American “Interior Minister.” [reichsminister?]​

Meanwhile, NOT an op-ed:

Two whistleblowers agree to testify on AG Barr's 'unprecedented politicization' of DOJ

House Judiciary Chair Jerry Nadler announced Tuesday the committee had secured the testimony of two witnesses who can lend insight into Attorney General William Barr's “unprecedented politicization” of the Justice Department.

One of the witnesses House Democrats subpoenaed is Aaron Zelinsky, who worked on the prosecution of Trump bestie Roger Stone and resigned from the team handling the case after Barr intervened in an attempt to lighten Stone's sentence.

The other is John Elias, who was tasked with reviewing a fuel efficiency deal between California and big auto makers, which the Trump administration has sought to undermine. "Mr. Elias can speak to the Department's improperly motivated activity by the Antitrust Division," a statement from Nadler read.

A third witness, former Deputy Attorney General Donald Ayer, who served under George H.W. Bush, will also testify about "what is at stake when there is a breakdown of the Department's independence at the hands of its own leadership," read the statement.

Some 2,000 Justice Department alumni have signed on to a letter calling for Barr's resignation in the wake of his interference in the cases of both Stone and former national security adviser Mike Flynn. Senate Democrats have also sought an internal investigation into Barr's role in violently clearing peaceful protesters from outside the White House.

Barr has repeatedly declined to testify before House Judiciary Democrats, and Nadler has made noise about subpoenaing him if he failed to appear once the coronavirus scare died down. Presumably that's now since the House has resumed conducting hearings and testimony can be conducted remotely.

Nadler’s statement noted that despite Barr's failure to give congressional testimony, he has "made time for multiple television interviews."

Barr claimed feds in KC made 200 arrests in two weeks. That’s not even close to true.
A senior Department of Justice official on Wednesday corrected comments by Attorney General William Barr, who minutes earlier had said 200 arrests had been made within two weeks in Kansas City as part of Operation Legend, a federal anti-crime effort.

Barr’s comments had come during a news conference Wednesday about the operation, which is said to be sending hundreds of federal agents into the metro area to stop a surge of violent crime in the city.

“Just to give you an idea of what’s possible, the FBI went in very strong into Kansas City and within two weeks we’ve had 200 arrests,” Barr had said.

Barr claimed a recent “surge” of federal cops arrested 200 people in Kansas City. He was off by 199.

I found this passage (among many) in Barr’s opening statement bizarre and inappropriate: As AG, it’s not his job to tell Americans what their policy preferences should be, or to whom they should be “giving thanks.” Their opinions are not a crime, nor his business.

Barr's meeting with Murdoch last year was to pressure Fox - a company that has been under DOJ investigation multiple times - to muzzle Judge Napolitano
over his Trump criticism. Pure authoritarian thuggishness.
William Barr told Murdoch to 'muzzle' Fox News Trump critic, new book says

• Attorney general met media mogul in October 2019
• Judge Andrew Napolitano said Trump should be impeached

The attorney general, William Barr, told Rupert Murdoch to “muzzle” Andrew Napolitano, a prominent Fox News personality who became a critic of Donald Trump, according to a new book about the rightwing TV network.
Barr’s meeting with Murdoch, at the media mogul’s New York home in October 2019, was widely reported at the time, with speculation surrounding its subject. According to Hoax: Donald Trump, Fox News and the Dangerous Distortion of Truth, by CNN media reporter Brian Stelter, subjects covered included media consolidation and criminal justice reform.
“But it was also about Judge Andrew Napolitano.”

Stelter’s in-depth look at Fox News, its fortunes under Trump and its links to his White House will be published on Tuesday. The Guardian obtained a copy.

In early 2019 it was reported that Napolitano, a New Jersey superior court judge who joined Fox News in 1998, told friends he had been on Trump’s shortlist for the supreme court. But he broke ranks later in the year, labeling Trump’s approaches to Ukraine, seeking political dirt on rivals, “both criminal and impeachable behavior”.

The following article enumerates JUST SOME of the reasons why Trump's henchman and gestapo head, Bill Barr is DANGEROUS. It's a lengthy piece that ends with a summary of all the S------ emanating from the Trump & Co. shitshow, in just the past WEEK:
https://www.dailykos.com/stories/20...Barr-The-most-dangerous-man-in-our-government
Bill Barr: The most dangerous man in our government

Following his recent interview on CNN with Wolf Blitzer, the picture has become more and more obvious that Attorney General Bill Barr is a clear and present threat to this nation. There has been comment after comment, incident after incident that make this crystal clear.

Barr has completely denied that systematic racism is a factor in law enforcement despite the fact that officers tend to stop, search, assault, arrest, and kill black and brown defendants at a rate that is two to three times higher than whites. For young black men, it’s nine times greater. He claims instead that Black Lives Matter doesn’t care about Black Lives, they only care about “props.”

And besides the ridiculous statement that medical health lockdowns are like “Slavery”, Bill Barr has sent a memo to US prosecutors asking them to charge protesters with “Sedition” — the attempt to overthrow the US government.

This is on top of the fact that he continues to chase Antifa “boogey men” when in fact much of the violence and property destruction at these protests are being implemented by right-wing Boogaloo Bois who actually are in favor of overthrowing the government and starting a “second Civil War.”

Barr has [also] spread a conspiracy theory about vote-by-mail ballots that is just simply impossible.

Barr’s behavior in trying to influence the election is so egregious that Dems have called on the DOJ Inspector General to investigate him.
