Yet again AG Barr has acted as Trump’s personal lawyer/fixer instead of our nation’s top law enforcement executive who has an obligation to defend the laws and Constitution of the US. And AGAIN I call on you to publicly demand that Barr resign!
He tried to force out Geoffrey Berman, the US prosecutor of the Southern District of NY, and when Berman wouldn’t quietly resign he got Trump to fire him FOR NO OBVIOUS REASON.
From the NY Times, “Trump Fires U.S. Attorney in New York Who Investigated His Inner Circle:”
[…] Speaking briefly to reporters outside the White House before heading to a campaign rally in Tulsa, Okla., Mr. Trump tried to distance himself from the firing. He insisted he was “not involved” in the decision to remove Mr. Berman despite what Mr. Barr said in his letter. […]
Given the number of sore spots between Mr. Trump’s Justice Department and the Southern District, its most prominent prosecutors’ office, it was not clear what prompted Mr. Trump and Mr. Barr to fire Mr. Berman. At least two of the politically sensitive cases that the New York prosecutors have filed — those involving the Turkish bank and Mr. Giuliani — are continuing. […]
One particular point of contention was the question of how Mr. Berman and his staff should investigate Halkbank, a Turkish state-owned bank that the office indicted last year, according to three people familiar with the investigation. […] {https://nyti.ms/3fPXOXn}
So Trump, for the millionth time(?), is caught in a lie and Barr is clearly acting as his henchman in trying to stifle investigations into Trump’s businesses and associates, like Giuliani.
Of course, the chain of events leading up to Berman’s firing needs to be fully investigated by Congress including Barr’s role in doing Trump’s bidding. But it is now so evident that Barr does NOT WORK FOR THE PEOPLE, despite being paid by the taxpayer, that he must resign.
I HOPE YOU WILL PUBLICLY & LOUDLY DEMAND HIS RESIGNATION.
