John,
As the country continues to battle the COVID-19 crisis, Attorney General William Barr is continuing to abuse his power to protect Donald Trump.
Under Barr’s direction, the Justice Department is seeking to drop the criminal case against former national security adviser and Trump ally Michael Flynn, even though Flynn has already pleaded guilty twice and was scheduled to be sentenced by the court.
Flynn admitted in court in 2017 to lying to the FBI about his conversations with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak. That is a serious federal crime.
Barr believes he is immune from criticism or accountability as long as he continues to do Trump’s bidding. Asked in an interview with CBS how history will judge his actions, Barr asserted, “History is written by the winners, so it largely depends on who’s writing the history.”
The effort to clear Flynn of wrongdoing is just the latest in an ongoing pattern of abuse of power. As the nation’s highest law enforcement official, Barr has consistently attempted to hide, minimize, and justify the lawlessness of the president and his allies. If left unchecked, the role of the attorney general will be forever damaged.
Sign if you agree: Attorney General Barr must resign for his recurring and flagrant abuses of power.
In solidarity,
Ben Clements, Board Chair
