Dear MoveOn member,
[ [link removed] ]Sign this petition demanding that the House Judiciary Committee and
Department of Justice Inspector General investigate William Barr's Justice
Department!
The Department of Justice appears to be putting Donald Trump's friends
above the law.
Following a tweet from Trump, the Justice Department undid the work of
career civil servants prosecuting Trump's confidante, the convicted
criminal Roger Stone, shortening the sentence they were seeking in his
case. All four of the federal attorneys responsible for pursuing justice
for Stone's crimes have resigned in protest.^1
The Justice Department's internal watchdog must investigate the corrupt
about-face made at the seeming behest of Donald Trump and call out
cronyism within its own ranks. But given how compromised disgraced
Attorney General William Barr is, we cannot trust the Justice Department
to correct its course. The House Judiciary Committee, which has oversight
of Barr, must also investigate independently.
Sign this petition demanding that the House Judiciary Committee and
Department of Justice Inspector General look into the Justice Department's
reversal on Roger Stone.

Donald Trump has already shown that he thinks he's above the law, and will
act accordingly. But the Justice Department showing preferential treatment
for Trump's criminal accomplices is a threat to the country. This turn has
come within a week of the Senate GOP refusing to hold Trump accountable
for his impeachable offenses. If the Department of Justice's Inspector
General and the House Judiciary Committee don't act now, Trump will be
shown that he is free to bend the law to his whim.
