A former deputy attorney general in George H.W. Bush’s administration has warned that the integrity of the Justice Department has been c*********d by the current attorney general, William Barr, paving the way for “virtually autocratic” leadership by President Donald Trump.

In an op-ed for The Atlantic published Monday, Donald Ayer, who has known Barr for more than four decades and once worked with him at the Department of Justice, warned of a grim future if his former colleague is not removed from office.

Reflecting on Barr’s first year of service, Ayer concluded that he has “appeared to function much more as the president’s personal advocate than as an attorney general serving the people and government of the United States.”

Any optimism that Barr would stand strong against attempts to inject politics into the department’s work was misplaced, Ayer wrote, highlighting a series of “disturbing” events beginning with his “public whitewashing of Robert Mueller’s report, which included powerful evidence of repeated obstruction of justice by the president,” and ending with the “worst of all”: Barr’s reported intervention in the criminal prosecution of Trump’s friend Roger Stone.

“For wh**ever twisted reasons, he believes that the president should be above the law, and he has as his foil in pursuit of that goal a president who, uniquely in our history, actually aspires to that status.”

The fundamental reason that Barr is unfit for office, according to Ayer, is that he does not believe in the central tenet of America’s democracy: that “no person is above the law.”

“Bill Barr’s America is not a place that anyone, including Trump v**ers, should want to go,” Ayer concluded.

“It is a banana republic where all are subject to the whims of a dictatorial president and his henchmen. To prevent that, we need a public uprising demanding that Bill Barr resign immediately, or failing that, be impeached.”

Ayer is just one of more than 2,000 former prosecutors and DOJ officials to call for Barr’s resignation in the wake of the extraordinary events of the past week. Last Tuesday, four career prosecutors withdrew from the Stone case after top Justice Department officials overruled their sentencing recommendation. Seemingly confirming concerns that Barr had intervened on his behalf, the president openly applauded Barr for “taking charge” of the case on Twitter. Later in an interview, Barr said that constant tweets and commentary were complicating his job.

Barr’s pushback was faulted widely as an attempt to cover up what critics suggested was a coordinated attempt between him and Trump to defuse the firestorm over the preferential treatment given Trump’s longtime ally.

I have an idea. Why don't we ban Conservatives, the Republican Party, Firearms, open the border to anyone who can fog a mirror, legalize meth, de-criminalize capital crimes (as long as they are committed by wetbacks,) and behead President Trump? Will THAT shut you up?

You know there are sealed grand jury indictments waiting for trump to leave office, right? Mueller explained that he did not pursue them because of a DOJ ruling that a SITTING President may not be indicted...................which means......................once they are no longer in office............................

Barr cannot make them disappear, but he can prepare his defense strategy now, which is what he's doing.

you are once again pinning you liberal hopes on some far fetched crap.....you will be disappointed.

Trump will roll on, your team will whine on......but in the end, you will have the hopes and dreams to look back on and go..........Damn!! We liberals are truly the stupid party.

Mueller said it in his report. Read it. He said either Congress should pursue the 3 obstruction chargers or wait until he is out of office. Lock him up! How do you like it. And remember it was Flynn that led that chant at the RNC convention. Too funny.

obstruction should have been in the impeachment farce....so we wait for him to leave office? hogwash!! don't pin your pathetic hopes on that.

Mueller doesn't even know what was in his report, that was clear while being questioned on his report...he is a failed operative for the Dems.

Flynn ya say...Hmmmmm, yea, looks like he may be walking away ( why is that? ).......I agree....Too funny.
