William Barr delivers again.
a notice of appeal in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit of his own November conviction on seven felony counts of lying to Congress and witness tampering. Stone lost his motion for a retrial in April after his lawyers. He also failed to get the judge removed from his case. That judge, Amy Berman Jackson, denied his appeal, and he has been sentenced to 40 months in prison, although he has not yet been incarcerated.
, with Barr insisting in February that Trump was making it impossible for him to do his job. Apparently, it is now possible for Barr to do his job again.undermine basic tenets of the rule of law for a long time now , with a special soft spot for the liars and the grifters, and if that means undermining his own Justice Department, all the better . There are open questions about whether a president can be held criminally responsible for. It is certainly the case that once someone has accepted a pardon, he loses his Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination, which means that he may be hauled before Congress to testify about any illegal activities.
Nobody can be surprised to see Donald Trump getting ready to pardon some of his extra-special liars. That’s just standard birds-of-a-feather stuff. But watching Barr’s willingness to hollow out his own Justice Department in order to free a few of the president’s favorite bottom feeders remains a thing of wonder. All that talk of Barr as a “lawyer’s lawyer” when he took over from Jeff Sessions was so much wishful thinking. He’s actually just a criminal’s lawyer, and he holds all the keys.
