AG Barr Takes Aim at Prosecutors Inside His Own Justice Dept.

Long overdue. Obama and his henchman, Eric “Fast and Furious” Holder, stacked the DoJ with far-left legal agitators.

Obama/Holder destroyed the DoJ.

Barr Takes Aim at Prosecutors Inside His Own Justice Dept.

By: NBC News, 17 September 2020:

Attorney General William Barr took aim at his own Justice Department, criticizing prosecutors for behaving as “headhunters” in their pursuit of prominent targets and for using the weight of the criminal justice system to launch what he said were “ill-conceived” political probes.

The comments at a speech at Hillsdale College in Michigan Wednesday night amounted to a striking, and unusual, rebuke of the thousands of prosecutors who do the daily work of assembling criminal cases across the country. Barr has faced scrutiny for overruling the decisions of Justice Department prosecutors who work for him, including in criminal cases involving associates of President Donald Trump.

Rejecting the notion that prosecutors should have final say in cases that they bring, Barr described them instead as part of the “permanent bureaucracy” and suggested they need to be supervised, and even reined in, by politically appointed leaders accountable to the president and Congress.<

“The men and women who have ultimate authority in the Justice Department are thus the ones on whom our elected officials have conferred that responsibility — by presidential appointment and Senate confirmation,” Barr said, according to his prepared remarks. “That blessing by the two political branches of government gives these officials democratic legitimacy that career officials simply do not possess.”

Barr himself has been aggressive as attorney general in pursuing certain categories of prosecutions, including using federal statutes to charge defendants in the unrest that roiled cities after the death of George Floyd. But he warned that prosecutors can become overly attached to their cases in ways that lose perspective and judgment, listing a series of prosecutions — including under prior administrations — in which he said he believed the government had taken extreme positions.

Barr is all bark and no bite. A toothless bulldog gnawing on a bone. He’s the A.G. Who still pays Bruce Ohr to continue his subversion! The main conduit for the Trump conspiracy. Riddle me that one, Batman!

All talk, no action.

About time. About six months late. But will anything come of this?

There is a report we have all been waiting for, that supposedly was to come at the beginning of: June, July, August, September. Well? If the Dems win, it gets killed and we will never know what underhanded or illegal things the Dems did to undermine Trump, and no criminal charges will be laid.

Looks like the Dems are getting scared:
House Democrats Call for an ‘Emergency’ Watchdog Review of Durham Investigation
https://www.theepochtimes.com/house-democrats-call-for-an-emergency-watchdog-review-of-durham-investigation_3505469.html

“Four top House Democrats on Friday urged the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) inspector general to immediately launch a review of U.S. Attorney John Durham’s criminal investigation. Durham was tasked by Attorney General William Barr to look into the origins of the FBI’s counter-intelligence probe, dubbed Crossfire Hurricane, that explored possible contacts between President Donald Trump’s campaign and Russia.”

barr and wray are deep state! They are stalling for after the elections or for statue of limitations to run out. President Trump MUST FIRE them! “YOUR FIRED!”
Greed and stealing money was the accelerator to sell out their (hw, gw, willie&bonie, the fake president and all their minions) own country, for the past several decades, and now we have a new sheriff in town and they are panicking, because he is going to arrest them BUT his buddy buddy advisors have pulled the wool over his eyes and they recommend their deep stater’s for fbi and AG and other high offices. I think the President realizes it now that he has been hornswoggled by his closest allies.

THIS COULD BE YOUR LAST LAST INVITE TO RECEIVE AND BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST!!! AFTER THE RAPTURE, JESUS WILL BE COMING BACK AS THE LION OF JUDAH and ALL UNBELIEVERS WILL BE TORMENTED IN HELL, THE LAKE OF FIRE, FOREVER!!!:
WE ARE IN THE LAST DAYS OF GRACE PERIOD FOR GENTILES!!! The “END POINT” is ETERNAL HELL for ALL UNBELIEVERS, OR eternal LIFE with YOUR CREATOR the Lord Jesus Christ for ALL BELIEVERS!!! True DEATH is being SEPARATED FROM YOUR CREATOR!!! PREPARE TO MEET THY CREATOR!!! JESUS IS COMING!!! BELIEVE ON HIM!!! ON THE CROSS JESUS DIED AND SHED HIS BLOOD FOR ALL, HE WAS BURIED AND ROSE ON THE THIRD DAY, AND ASCENDED TO HEAVEN!!! PRAY AND TELL HIM YOU BELIEVE THIS!!! SEE bethelchurchmo.com, or Gene Kim, or Robert Breaker both on youtube, MORE INFORMATION on how TO AVOID HELL!

Holder`s actions as the A.G. were another aspect of Hussein`s “hope and change” mantra, which most people misinterpreted to believe that Hussein would bring good things to our country. No, he was slyly inferring that he hoped to permanently change the USA much for the worse, as we can now see almost 4 years after he left office. It`s interesting that our 3 worst presidents have been recent dems: Carter, Clinton, and, Hussein Obama.

Christopher Wray is an enemy of the State. He is committed to working against President Trump and America. He is an acolyte of Gestapo Mueller and Weasel Comey. He is sworn to continue their communist war to subvert America.

Everything Wray does is meant to delay justice and give cover to Leftist subversion. He can find no organization behind Antifa! That’s because you are part of their movement.

Meanwhile he sends 15 agents to investigate garage handles at a racetrack in search of phantom right wing fanatics which don’t exist! Notice how these Communists like Wray are always distracting with moral equivalence that doesn’t exist but in their schizophrenic minds.

Wray must be fired and arrested for subversion immediately. Replace with Sidney Powell. We need some Texas justice and she’ll clean house and be loyal to President Trump unlike that smiling villain, Death Wray. The worst FBI Director ever!

Exactly correct!!!
Especially so when you consider those people Trump wants to protect from evil, politicized, prosecutors are not guilty.

I think that Barr’s cautious slow approach to everything is not only driving Americans crazy, but also is removing any and all faith in the so called JUSTICE DEPARTMENT !

DOJ has been so left for so long the only solution is to disband it in favor of contracted staff who can be terminated at will. Also, the Civil Service Reform act which prohibited the spoils system is a failure. We have a politicalized bureaucracy. Fire em all.
