Former federal prosecutors have accused Attorney General William Barr of acting in the best interest of the president rather than the American people.
Legal experts slammed Attorney General William Barr on Thursday and questioned his allegiance to the American people following his press conference over the release of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report.
“I listened to the whole thing before reacting. Here’s some quick reactions: Barr sounded like a defense lawyer. Literally. Defense lawyers often say ‘the government didn’t prove’ to focus juries away from what prosecutors did show. That’s what Barr’s whole statement was,” tweeted Mimi Rocah, a former federal prosecutor for the Southern District of New York.
