Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California called the demand, organized by a group critical of President Trump, an effort “to intimidate” Barr. “Suggestions from outside groups that the Attorney General has fallen short of the responsibilities of his office are unfounded,”

William Barr ‘must’ not resign!
by Eddie Scarry | February 18, 2020 01:14 PM

When the Atlantic published a piece on Sunday under the headline “Bill Barr Must Resign,” the editors must have believed there was truly something powerful about the article.

They were, of course, mistaken. William Barr has not resigned as attorney general, and there doesn’t appear to be anything forcing him to do so, even though the author of the piece, a former deputy attorney general, has declared that he “must.”

The article itself amounts to a cliche of the Trump era. If you were to exclude from the media all denunciations of administration officials and the exhausted phrase “no person is above the law,” there would be nothing left.

The Atlantic article checked both boxes. “The fundamental problem,” wrote Donald Ayer, “is that [Barr] does not believe in the central tenet of our system of government — that no person is above the law.”

Saying that magical line can get you everywhere with the media, even though it’s always stupid.

President Trump might just be the most legally constrained president in history, and yet the banal “above the law” is given out by the media like back rubs at a Joe Biden meet-and-greet.

Someone should tell journalists that “above the law” is not the same thing as “I don’t like that.”

For example, the impeachment articles drafted by House Democrats never accused Trump of breaking any law in his interactions of Ukraine, which led to his impeachment. But Jon Meacham, a historian who for some reason gets booked on MSNBC to say “um” a lot, gravely warned last month that we now have “a president who is above the law.”

But what exactly does it mean for a person to be “above the law” when he hasn’t even been accused of a crime?

after more than 2,000 former Justice Department officials called on him to resign

Firstly, they are former, secondly, it is such a minute percentage of Justice Department officials its laughable, thirdly, it doesn't mean a thing.

he is committed without qualification to securing equal justice under law for all Americans.

And that's the problem.

“Suggestions from outside groups that the Attorney General has fallen short of the responsibilities of his office are unfounded,”

Our people are midnight SWAT raided, indicted by corrupt Democrats, thrown into solitary confinement, hauled before corrupt jurors and judges, and financially ruined.

The coup plotters and Deep State DC criminals walk the streets free.

That’s where we. Any attempt to spin this and give us the same old mantra that “justice is right around the corner“ is unfounded. The proof of the pudding will be in the eating.

This is just a PR ploy by the Uniparty big wigs.

They make this proclamation because there is absolutely no political or financial cost to them.

Let’s see them weigh in on bringing the troops home, which they will never do.

I wish a republicans would inform the Democrats that we don’the give a damp about what upsets them, and will care less when aBarr convicts them.

Yesterday it was 1000 black robed thugs condemning Barr, today 2000.

Tomorrow's headlines, 4000 thugs belly of to the hog trough
