Barr does not seem like the kinda guy who moves on questionable evidence.

Have we ever really seen him move on anything significant since he became AG?

Eh... certainly not as much as any of us would like - but

1.Interventions in the guilty convictions and sentences of former advisors to President Trump, Roger Stone and Michael Flynn.

2. Allegations of political interference in the removal of Geoffrey Berman from his Southern District of New York attorney position in a matter pertaining to the indictment of Turkish bank Halkbank, a bank with close personal ties to Erdogan. Berman’s office had been investigating both Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani and Trump’s inaugural committee, as well as conducting a wider investigation into Trump’s company and his associates after successfully prosecuting Michael Cohen, another personal lawyer of Trump.

3.Under Barr’s leadership, the DOJ changed its position on the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Previously the department took the position that the individual mandate provision was unconstitutional, but could be severed from the whole healthcare law. On March 25, department updated its position to argue that the entire law is unconstitutional. On May 2, the department conducted a filing with the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit to nullify the entire law, arguing that the removal of the provision on individual mandate results in the entire law becoming unconstitutional.

4. In early June the House Oversight Committee moved to hold Barr in contempt of congress for defying a subpoena regarding the efforts to add a citizenship question to the census.[108] In July 2019, the House of Representatives voted 230–198 to hold Barr (and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross) in criminal contempt of Congress, after they failed to produce documents as April 2019 congressional subpoenas mandated.

5.Also in July 2019, Barr reportedly made the decision to not bring federal civil rights charges against New York policeman Daniel Pantaleo for causing the death of Eric Garner. In so doing, he overruled the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, which advocated charging Pantaleo, instead agreeing with Justice Department prosecutors from New York.[111]

6.On July 25, 2019, Barr reinstated the death penalty for federal crimes.

7. February 2020 , Barr confirms that he had “established an intake process” for information on Ukraine, including from Giuliani, while citing an “obligation to have an open door” policy on receiving information.

8. And of course, the Investigation of the Mueller Investigation...

Again - I am in full agreement that he could have, and likely should have done more, but government is truly a Leviathan in every sense of the word, and as my Dad used to say - the wheels turn VERY slowly.

Pray FRiend, and work to remain free.
