More than 1,100 ex-Justice Department officials call for Barr’s resignation
Washington Compost ^ | Feb 16, 2020 | Devlin Barrett

Posted on 02/16/2020 7:25:06 AM PST by where's_the_Outrage?

More than 1,100 former Justice Department employees signed a public letter Sunday urging Attorney General William P. Barr to resign over his handling of the case of President Trump’s longtime friend Roger Stone — and exhorted current department employees to report any unethical conduct....

Signatures for the letter were gathered by Protect Democracy, a group that has been critical of Barr’s handling of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s investigation into Russian election interference and Trump.

The letter acknowledges there is little chance the signatories’ criticism will lead to Barr’s departure, adding, “because we have little expectation he will do so, it falls to the Department’s career officials to take appropriate action to uphold their oaths of office and defend nonpartisan, apolitical justice.”

Well.. that was EASY! They singled themselves out.

Fire those 1100 clowns and replace them with non-deep state personnel.

I agree that it falls to them and they should take the appropriate action. They should do the honorable thing and RESIGN.

If it was 1100 signers who were American patriots, I’d pay attention. But former DOJ employees don’t cut it, might as well be DNC paid hacks.

“More than 1,100 ex-Justice Department officials call for Barr’s resignation...”

That’s the tip of the iceberg of the scum that 8 years of Obama populated that agency with,

“1,100 former Justice Department employees ...”

+++++

Just in case you missed this small item.

Currently the justice Department has over 113,000 employees. Any doubt who 90% of them voted for in the last election? You get one guess and a hint: It wasn’t Donald Trump.

I will lend credence to this when we find that the demo breakdown was 50% Republican.

Obama's AG Lynch ‘appeared to have amnesia’ During Testimony About Carter Page FISA
saraacarter.com ^ | 3/4/2019 | Sara A. Carter / FR posted by bitt
saracarter.com reported Obama's hand-picked AG, Loretta Lynch, “appeared to have amnesia” during her testimony that she delivered in December before the House Judiciary and Oversight committees, one congressional official, who had knowledge of the hearing said. In closed door testimony Lynch revealed that:
<><> despite her office having approved the FBI warrant and renewals to spy on Carter Page,
<><> Lynch said she did not recall the applications,
<><>did not remember the details contained in the applications or the circumstances surrounding conversations about the warrant.

===================================================

Lynch's selective amnesia resembled a classic criminal MO.

Obama's AG Lynch Reveals Bias and Intent For Failing To Give Trump Defensive Briefing
Said she didn't know why candidate Trump did not receive DOJ "defensive briefings"

saraacarter.com ^ | 3/13/2019 | Sara A. Carter / FR Posted by bitt

Pres Trump’s campaign was never given a defensive briefing by the FBI, despite mounting concerns that Russians were allegedly trying to penetrate the campaign during the 2016 presidential election.

In testimony provided by Obama's AG Loretta Lynch, along with others, it is the key finding that won’t bode well for the FBI and DOJ. It also raises significant questions regarding preferential treatment of Hillary Clinton’s campaign and whether she ever received ‘defensive briefings’ in detail from the bureau. Lynch’s testimony is still not public but has been reviewed by SaraACarter.com.

"I WAS CERTAINLY AWARE THAT IT WAS AN OPTION, BUT
I DON’T KNOW WHAT, IF ANYTHING, EVER HAPPENED TO THAT OPTION," SAID OBAMA'S AG LYNCH.

The "defensive briefing" is a time-honored procedure that is often given to presidential candidates, elected officials and even U.S. businesses that have either been unwittingly approached by foreign actors attempting to gain trust and befriend those in position of influence.

The briefing allows the government to protect the candidates, specifically if there is substantial information or knowledge to suggest that someone has targeted an unwitting American for information, if the FBI or intel agencies suspect foreign adversaries may be trying to penetrate a presidential campaign.

What’s with these letters of discontent from old government employees? I wonder if the MSM doesn’t invite them to comment and coordinates the whole deal. Most people get out of a job and hardly look back. ???

I guess letting McCabe off didn’t win him any brownie points with the deep state.

Not just ex-officials, ex-donors. The list was probably generated from Obama’s extensive campaign files.

It would seem letting McCabe off the hook did nothing for him. The rats stay on offense he threw them a bone they saw it as weakness so now they want to drive a spike into his throat. Maybe Barr should get a clue and go the other way and start prosecuting some of these traitors.

Hmmm..1000+ ex-justices are not even worth 1 active justice.
Kind of shows they really are powerless wienies without the office. :)

1100 ex DOJ!!!! The average American HAS to look at that number and start thinking about the size of government bureaucracies.
