Question

Do you think we are watching the rule of law collapse in real time in the US because of Barr?

Yes.

There will be more of this kind of stuff. NBC on Tuesday night reported that Barr is personally consolidating control of federal legal matters of interest to the president. And Trump on Tuesday night publicly assailed the judge handling Stone's case. We are a very long way from the time when then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch recused herself from Hillary Clinton's email case after she chatted with Bill Clinton on an airport tarmac. The old wisdom was that the appearance of a conflict of interest is the same as an actual conflict. The new wisdom — if it can be called that — is to get away with as much as you possibly can.

Trump is generally corrupt, but his attempts to bend the Department of Justice to his will and self-interest are particularly troubling, and will probably do damage that lingers long after he leaves office. Justice — the rule of law — has always been a flawed and fragile concept in America, but it is also one of the foundations on which our democracy rests. "All men are created equal" is a statement of how we are to be treated by the law. Now the president orchestrates special treatment for himself and his cronies and urges punishment for his enemies. Increasingly, the Department of Justice seems willing to go along. In doing so, it loses whatever legitimacy and reputation for fairness it might have had. Right and wrong, legal and illegal are less important than they were a few years ago — what matters most is who has the power, and the will to use it.

The rule of law is dead

You have to remember one little thing, Donald Barr. William Barrs father was good friends with Jeffrey Epstein. Let me see who else do I know that was good friends with Jeffrey Epstein that's relevant at this time.

Donald J Trumplestiltskin.

The Constitution is on fire people. It's up to us to put it out.

And yet you find no problem that the 11 points left for congress to investigate by Mueller were swept away..

I still hope for more exposure on all those points..

FBI in part cost the election for Lady Hillary.. yes, Comey committed a very unethical act to release a half truth 11 days before the election and omit the mention of an ongoing investigation of trump..

Canuckus is right... This civilized exchange between you , Lindajoy , and Permafrost is a rare example of what we can be as people.
You guys demonstrate what It's going to take to heal this experiment called America.
Too much shit - slinging lately. Thank you both for letting a little light in here.
