Former Attorney General William Barr violated his oath of office by running the Justice Department as Donald Trump's private law firm and executive branch. Trump and the anti-democratic MAGA Republicans are using the gaslighting projection mechanism and falsely accusing President Biden and Attorney General Merritt Garland of weaponizing them, even though they are outright weaponizers. The Trump cult of followers blindly believes accusations without demanding facts. During the Nixon administration, Attorney General John Mitchell was imprisoned for crimes related to the Watergate scandal. Barr committed the following actions that millions of Americans consider illegal and unethical:
- By maintaining ongoing contact with Trump regarding the ongoing federal investigation, he violated the boundaries that should exist between the Justice Department and the President.
- He served as Trump's political ally, spokesperson, and personal attorney.
- When Robert Mueller decided not to indict Trump on charges of conspiring with Russia to interfere in the 2016 election, Barr issued a manipulative statement saying the report exonerated Trump of all wrongdoing. He did this a month before the full report was released to the public. Fact: Special counsel Mueller found that Trump committed 10 counts of obstruction of justice and unfortunately decided not to indict him.
- He claimed without evidence that the FBI accelerated Trump's 2016 presidential election campaign.
- He attacked the inspector general's report substantiating the Russia investigation. He did not comply with DOJ rules.
- To carry out Trump's revenge campaign against Robert Mueller, he appointed U.S. Attorney John Durham to conduct a sham investigation into the Mueller investigation. Durham's report was an attempt by Barr to service the anti-democratic impulses of his client, Donald Trump.
In February 2020, Just Security reported: “On January 17, Democracy 21 filed a complaint with the Justice Department’s Office of Professional Responsibility and the Department’s Office of Ethics detailing Barr’s pattern of biased behavior and his failure to comply with Department of Justice norms, rules, and regulations. and standards of conduct.”
Elect Joe Biden to finish what he started. To end the Trump/Mark era, elect Joe Biden. Elect Joe Biden to save democracy.
