Bill Barr corrupted the Justice Department.

[kentuck]

He permitted people to ignore subpoenas from Congress and the rule of law in general. The lawbreakers knew they would not be prosecuted so long as Bill Barr was the Attorney General.

Unfortunately, they still believe that. The Justice Department is broken. They have not regained the legitimacy they lost during the last five years. People are still ignoring subpoenas. They do not believe anyone will hold them accountable. They are scofflaws.

How does the DOJ regain its legitimacy? They have to show that they are not a paper tiger. They need to show their teeth.

They cannot permit criminals to ignore subpoenas if they are to have any credibility at all. They must act.
