Despite the ongoing calls from opponents of Trump for any of his attorney general picks to recuse themselves for reasons, the Justice Department spokeswoman Kerri Kupec said senior department ethics officials said the memo would not pose a conflict to his appointment:
‘Mr. Barr has stated that, if confirmed, he will make any decisions based on the actual facts and circumstances of any particular matter,’ she added. But it would be too soon for ethics officials to weigh in on specific matters like whether he should step aside from the Russia probe, as he is not yet confirmed and it’s unclear where the investigation will stand if he takes office, a person familiar with the matter said.
In short, it looks like the DOJ ethics people have already determined that Barr's memo will not force him to recuse himself from managing the Mueller investigation and that there's a question of whether the investigation will continue if he takes office. Could be a big win coming here.
We hope so. Hopefully, both the FBI and DOJ will become bad spots in our history after they are destroyed.
It would turn the DOJ into the Stasi, SS, KGB and Tonton Macoute....................all in one!..................

President Trump will rebuild things to the way they should have been.

If enacting and exacting justice is the mandate, then it is long since destroyed.
