@ 3mel - 14.02.20 - 09:25am I read the link and couldn't work out what the story could be at first. downplaying sexual assaults is very common in American universities but normally by students. they fear letting out the info would drive down applicants and earnings. short term concerns over long term decency, but the former can always come back to bite you like with this guy. Gym Jordan, what a bunch of sleazebags |

@ obi_jon - 14.02.20 - 08:17am Even Trump's personal legal guardian angel/sycophant Billy Barr admits that Tweetolini's regular unhinged outbursts ''make it impossible for me to do my job.'' Not my analysis but judging by Trump's reaction it's just damage control. |

You're are so ignorant, you are just too stupid or wrapped up in your own twisted world to see how dangerous that is. You should be ashamed of yourself for thinking things like that.

Each of us strongly condemns President Trumps and Attorney General Barrs interference in the fair administration of justice. As former DOJ officials, we each proudly took an oath to support and defend our Constitution and faithfully execute the duties of our offices. The very first of these duties is to apply the law equally to all Americans. This obligation flows directly from the Constitution, and it is embedded in countless rules and laws governing the conduct of DOJ lawyers. The Justice Manual the DOJs rulebook for its lawyers states that ''the rule of law depends on the evenhanded administration of justice''; that the Departments legal decisions ''must be impartial and insulated from political influence''; and that the Departments prosecutorial powers, in particular, must be ''exercised free from partisan consideration.'' All DOJ lawyers are well-versed in these rules, regulations, and constitutional commands. They stand for the proposition that political interference in the conduct of a criminal prosecution is anathema to the Departments core mission and to its sacred obligation to ensure equal justice under the law. 1/3 |

And yet, President Trump and Attorney General Barr have openly and repeatedly flouted this fundamental principle, most recently in connection with the sentencing of President Trumps close associate, Roger Stone, who was convicted of serious crimes. The Department has a long-standing practice in which political appointees set broad policies that line prosecutors apply to individual cases. That practice exists to animate the constitutional principles regarding the even-handed application of the law. Although there are times when political leadership appropriately weighs in on individual prosecutions, it is unheard of for the Departments top leaders to overrule line prosecutors, who are following established policies, in order to give preferential treatment to a close associate of the President, as Attorney General Barr did in the Stone case. It is even more outrageous for the Attorney General to intervene as he did here after the President publicly condemned the sentencing recommendation that line prosecutors had already filed in court. Such behavior is a grave threat to the fair administration of justice. In this nation, we are all equal before the law. A person should not be given special treatment in a criminal prosecution because they are a close political ally of the President. Governments that use the enormous power of law enforcement to punish their enemies and reward their allies are not constitutional republics; they are autocracies. 2/3 |
