Berman Blows The Lid Off The Degree With Which Barr Interfered With Prosecutions...Cohen
Trump completely blew the idea that a president has no business even talking to the attorney general, except in well structured formal settings. The system involves intermediary formal contacts only. Literally if a president wants to make policy ideas known it is done through staff to the AG's staff.
Barr and his assistant was leaning on and pressuring the New York district court on everything to do with Cohen and campaign violations involved with the multiple hush money cases they were looking at, Berman credibly claims that
...They wanted charges dropped on Cohen, which Berman refused to do
...They were told to stop all investigations into campaign violations since a president cannot be indicted
...the false premise being that he can't even be investigated
...Cohen's indictment was to lose all of the multiple references to coconspirator #1, which was mostly done, not all
The reality is that when Cohen's charges were presented, the charging documents were in fact charges against trump that Cohen worked for and with his boss. They logically would have led to trump being charged under a real attorney general that wasn't working for and on behalf of trump. The DOJ claim made by Barr that a sitting president cannot be indicted is false, and the continued logic that if he can't be indicted he can't even be investigated is pure nonsensical stupidity.
Then there were other direct interferences with state and district prosecutors cases...the list of direct interferences is ridiculous. Everything from being told to lay off cases, prosecute people even when investigations showed no evidence, and literally letting people who had been charged, even when they had plead guilty, off as in drop charges...now who drops charges when they already have a guilty plea? Barr and trump did that, they wanted charges on Cohen dropped, Stone, and Flynn, and investigations into cases stopped because it involved trump and his people.
