Nearly 2000 former DOJ officials call for AG Barr to resign over Flynn case
The letter, signed mostly by former career officials in the department, accuses Barr of joining with President Trump in "political interference in the Department’s law enforcement decisions."
"Attorney General Barr’s repeated actions to use the Department as a tool to further President Trump’s personal and political interests have undermined any claim to the deference that courts usually apply to the Department’s decisions about whether or not to prosecute a case," reads the letter, which was organized by the group 'Protect Democracy'.

Mr. Flynn, pleaded guilty to knowingly making material false statements to the FBI, and by the government’s own account, the interview with Mr. Flynn was voluntary, arranged in advance, and took place in Mr. Flynn’s own office. The trump administration fired him for lying, but as we all know, lying is a virtue in trump’s view. Lying shows loyalty.
