After 36 years, I’m fleeing what was the U.S. Department of Justice — where I proudly served 19 different attorneys general and six different presidents. For the last three-plus decades, I have respected our leadership regardless of whether we were led by a Republican or a Democrat. I always believed the department’s past leaders were dedicated to the rule of law and the guiding principle that justice is blind. That is a bygone era, but it should not be forgotten.
Maybe I should’ve seen this coming, but like many of my colleagues, I fervently hoped that Attorney General William Barr’s preemptive misrepresentation of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report was an honest mistake or a solitary misstep — rather than a deliberate attempt to conceal potential presidential misconduct. After all, Barr has never actually investigated, charged or tried a case. He’s a well-trained bureaucrat but has no actual experience as a prosecutor.
Unfortunately, over the last year, Barr’s resentment toward rule-of-law prosecutors became increasingly difficult to ignore, as did his slavish obedience to Donald Trump’s will in his selective meddling with the criminal justice system in the Paul Manafort, Michael Flynn and Roger Stone cases. In each of these cases, Barr overruled career prosecutors in order to assist the president’s associates and/or friends, who potentially harbor incriminating information. This career bureaucrat seems determined to turn our democracy into an autocracy.

Waiting for the “Well, bye” picture.
Ooooh. The cockroaches are scattering. It’s about damn time.

Thats one deep state bureaucrat down, about a million to go.
HALPERIN. hmmmmm.

Dear Diary...
36 years is a long time to Cover up Corruption for the Public Masters, No doubt you were neck deep in a lot of it and you will most likely burn in hell for it.
Which is nothing, and he's doing it very well.
Sure, those were thirty years of Deep State or Deep State enabling presidents that you worked for.
Now you've got Trump.
Bye-bye, windbag.
You could work under Eric Holder...a guy who described himself publicly as “Obama’s wingman” and yet its Barr you think is the problem????
Its hopelessly politically biased corrupt bureaucrats exactly like you that we need to get rid of. Good riddence.
For 36 years he served the deep state. Now he is no longer in control. I hope that Barr looks into everything this guy ever did at the justice department. The fact that is guy thinks that Comey and company were just and honest people tells me all that I need to know about him. This rant must be his last assignment.
That's nice. Do not let the door hit your behind as you leave.
You could be one of those deep state folks, who do not know how to retire with grace and dignity.
The firewall within the DOJ is cracked.
Not yet broken but its clear something has happened
Here ya go.
Ol’ Phil here feels the whisper of the boiled rope kissing his neck...
