More than 1,100 former DOJ officials call on Attorney General Bill Barr to resign, according to the group Protect Democracy. The letter was signed by officials appointed from both Democrat and Republican administrations.
February 17, 2020, 4:51 PMAttorney General William Barr is facing new criticism for intervening in the case of President Trump’s longtime confidant Roger Stone.on Attorney General William Barr to resign, according to the group Protect Democracy.
The former DOJ officials say it is “outrageous” the way Barr interfered in the Roger Stone case. “Although there are times when political leadership appropriately weighs in on individual prosecutions, it is unheard of for the Department’s top leaders to overrule line prosecutors, who are following established policies, in order to give preferential treatment to a close associate of the President, as Attorney General Barr did in the Stone case,” they write.
“We call on every DOJ employee to follow their heroic example and be prepared to report future abuses to the Inspector General, the Office of Professional Responsibility, and Congress; to refuse to carry out directives that are inconsistent with their oaths of office; to withdraw from cases that involve such directives or other misconduct; and, if necessary, to resign and report publicly — in a manner consistent with professional ethics — to the American people the reasons for their resignation.
