Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Injustice Department

When they finally drag that bloated orange narcissist from the Oval Office, repairing the damage to the DOJ will be a priority.  After trying to accomplish it with Sessions, Trump finally found his "criminal lawyer" in Barr.  Barr's "Justice" department has routinely shielded Trump from criminal charges.  What should worry them all is that the DOJ is full of lawyers who know what the law actually is.  Presumably, they are stockpiling evidence of how they have been pressured.

Frankly, I would love to see the ABA move to disbar Barr.  There are very few checks on the Attorney General, as long as Trump has his back.  He should be impeached and removed, but we all know that won't happen.  Disbarring him would be a signal to the rest of the lawyers at Justice of what their long term interests are.
