(2,356 posts)He will become well known as the very portly man of body, but the mere skeleton of justice's moral compass.
Yea, the turdy-law-hacks will give him a seat at the shambles picnic table, but he will NOT have such a seat at the prestigious mahogany one.

do not sanction him..disbar him...the American Bar Association has revoked the law licenses of incompetent, "lawless" lawyers forever...deny the fat bastard the right to practice law..scathing letters are all well and good but a public humiliation is better...and do it now...and void his law school degree..it's obviously Barr slept thru corruption, collusion, perjury, and constitutional law classes...

Waste of time.
It'll go the way of all the letters from military higher ups and prominent psychiatrists/psychologists regarding how dangerous Trump is.
It truly has come down to the election. It's the only way we're going to get rid of him and it'll take the people to do it - everyday citizens of this country who value democracy.

(63,221 posts)Funny, but not really so funny considering the gravity of the situation. I agree with you completely. Nothing will get through to these liars and cheats except serious punitive action. They simply don't care what people think of them as long as they are getting their way.

(21,561 posts)when it comes to the relationship between the executive branch and DOJ, we cannot run the country anymore off the idea that "decent persons will respect the independence of DOJ and have respect for the norms of conduct that history has provided"
We need concrete black and white laws put in place to make sure nothing like what has happened under drumpf ever happens again......

(7,627 posts)Anything not codified into law will be, at a minimum, attempted.
I would argue that needs to be a priority next time we have a majority.

(9,977 posts)Letters expressing opprobrium for Barrs conduct are all well and good, but all the signers of this letter and other letters condemning Barr might accomplish more by demanding that New York and DC disbar Barr. He needs to be disgraced in the eyes of the public and removed from office. The US Attorney General is required to have a license to practice law. No license, no job. Barr needs to be gone soon to prevent him from helping Trump steal the election.
Does anyone have any ideas about how we ordinary citizens can help this cause?

(1,388 posts)Barrs old law firm represented Alpha Bank. I see this as key to understanding Barr. He looks to me to be a man with a very bright post Trump future. His payoffs is not coming from the civilized society that believes in things like a letter from your old law school.

If that's there he went to Law School, they might be able to rescind his degree. That might or might not affect his status as a member of the Bar. But where else is he licensed?

(112 posts)Barr campaigned for the job. Why would he want it? He was retired and had a decent reputation.
Epstein and Barr were roughly the same age when Epstein worked for Barr's father teaching teenagers math at the private school in NYC. Epstein was certainly abusing young girls at that time. My guess is that Barr was taking advantage of the situation as well. The gig was up for Epstein and Barr needed to get rid of him before he spilled all the beans. AS AG he controls the Fed prisons.
Barr made a surprise visit on a weekend to Epstein's accomplice in jail to fine out what she knows about him. Her lawyer would not let him talk to her.
that he will give a flying Wallenda, of course.

(4,473 posts)His grade should be retroactively changed to an F, his degree rescinded because of that failing grade, and his law license revoked because he doesn't have a law degree.
