The TV newsies have been dumping on Barr for listening to President Trump. That's wrong. The Dept of Justice, which the Attorney General runs, is a cabinet level department, just like State or Defense or Treasury. They work for the President, and the President is perfectly entitled and empowered to give them orders.
On this Stone case, where the president tweeted that 9 years was too long a sentence for a man in his 60's who had not broken any real laws, they convicted him of "lying to Congress". That is a Mickey Mouse charge. It just means a different of opinion between the Congress and Stone. Lying to Congress, lying to the FBI, and lying to the police should not be crimes. Ham sandwich nation. They aren't like perjury, lying under oath. And I think 9 years is entirely too long for a Mickey Mouse conviction. So does Trump. So does Barr.
The four prosecutors who want off the case and out of DOJ, they are all long service snivel service, fireproof lifers. These guys are all Democrats, and they enjoy doing anything they can to make life hard for the Republican Trump Administration. Let 'em resign. Good riddance to them.
I hear 1100 former (and perhaps current) DOJ employees have signed an anti Trump petition. Same goes for them. Died in the wool Democrats out to cause trouble for a Republican Administration. Fire 'em all. Cancel the pensions of the retired ones.
