Attorney General Pushed to Undermine Prosecutors

The threat posed by Attorney General William Barr's partisan stewardship of the Department of Justice extends beyond the damage he has inflicted upon the rule of law. His ceaseless defense of limitless presidential power and his unmitigated obstruction of Congress has shaken to its core the bedrock principle of separation of powers.
His persistent intervention in criminal cases involving the president and his cohorts and his meddling in the affairs of the Antitrust Division to punish Trump resisters, stands in stark contrast to his lack of active participation in matters unrelated to Mr. Trump and highlights the corrupt nature of his interest. His corrupt motivation is further exposed by his revival of concluded investigations into the actions of those who investigated Russian interference in the 2016 election, the so-called "Deep State".
Those who have raised an alarm, including hundreds of former federal prosecutors, are dismissed by Mr. Barr as "conspiracy theorists". While he masquerades as a conservative man of the law and a pillar of rectitude, he has marshaled military forces of masked origin to assault peaceful protesters to serve the political posturing of the president.
Mr. Barr's unethical and lawless behavior, if not criminal, at least warrants his impeachment and disbarment.
