Reject William Barr as AG 1-19-2019


19 January 2019                 Reject William Barr as AG


William Barr, who faces a Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation as Attorney General should be rejected due to his past transgressions as AG under President H.W. Bush. At that time, Barr strongly advocated blanket pardons to all those guilty in the Iran-Contra affair thwarting independent counsel Lawrence Walsh’s efforts to charge those responsible for a massive cover-up. The arms for- hostages scandal has cast a long shadow on subsequent US administrations up to the present time. Our constant meddling in Middle East affairs has destabilized much of the region. If Barr played such a key role in sabotaging the rule of law under Bush senior it is unlikely that he could be trusted to administer the law fairly under the current president.


If President Trump is truly under the spell of the Russian leader, it is likely that Barr would be severally compromise in his position as AG. The future and well-being of the Republic lies in the balance and the impartiality of the AG, if confirmed, will be fully tested as the newly elected House members do battle with an embattled presidency.


Barr has already displayed his bias stating he would withhold the Mueller report from the general public or have it severely redacted.
