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.

This dork seems to forget that he served under Barr as AG, since he’s been there 30 years. Hes obviously just a never Trumper.
Well, about 1000 more resignations and I’ll call that a start!
Yes something has cracked. Given the Press has everyone in the country poised for a biden blow out election, why leave NOW? I guess he had no problem with Reno/Waco and ruby ridge.
..”“Well, bye” picture.”
How about a “Adios, MF!” (We don’t need him in the DOJ.)
Barr should be replaced but this idiot doesn’t quite “get it.”
Whoa, this guy must be one of the corrupt ones.
“Ooooh. The cockroaches are scattering. It’s about damn time.”
Yes, but they leave poop all over as they go.
Is this the FBI agent that told Isaacs to keep Hunter’s hard-drive quiet?
Sorry @seanhannity, we can’t trust /ANY/ FBI agent.
Janet Reno
That's the real sore point. He's mad that Barr won't allow prosecutors to abuse their authority to go on fishing expeditions.
...........In this writing, Halpern proves something that I found out first hand in divorce hearings and civil business litigation over the past 40 plus years and that is that attorneys have absolutely no problem standing up in open court and telling one bald faced lie after another.
I’m not talking about little bitty ones I’m talking about Whoppers that they know are demonstrably not true. This is why in six jury trials (over 40 years) I won every time.
The only problem on this story is that Halpern didn’t persuade another 10,000 obama era attorneys in the DOJ to leave with him.
Yes, Sessions wasn’t just asleep at the wheel, he went to sleep in the back while letting Mueller and cronies drive the car.
Janet Reno. Friggin’ sasquatch with a bowl cut and coke bottle glasses.
“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. “
Halperin was yet another Deep State career government swamp dweller . Odd , how they are always inclined to the Soros side of things
Self draining swamp?
Seriously? This guy needs to read Sidney Powell’s book, License to Lie. When Government prosecutors get caught cheating, it’s the taxpayers that pay huge settlements. The prosecutors just move up the ladder, like nothing happened.
I hate that a-holes like this guy get to make idiotic statements unchallenged. Here’s my best question: How do feel about FBI agents doing an interview, taking notes, then finalizing them afterwards? ( not to mention losing said notes.) How about video and audio recordings, hmm? This is 2020, not 1930. I’d really like to see him answer this question.
What crack pipe is this idiot huffing on? We need to find more of these idiots and pink slip them. Barr is worthless. If he is taking orders from Trump, then either Trump doesn’t know $hit how to give orders or Barr is deaf as hell! His fat ass has been sitting on The Obama Russia Coup, and now, Biden/Burisma. This guy is a democraps wet dream. He is running cover for the DNC crimes they have commited at all levels!
Piling it high and deep in the first paragraph!
Rats leaving the ship...
Maybe he thinks indictments and subpoenas will come after the election and he decided to bail out.
Hopefully that is the case.
He work as an A.G. in the Southern District of California for many years.
