To the DOJ Inspector General: I’m calling for an immediate investigation of why the Roger Stone sentencing recommendations by career prosecutors were countermanded. The American people must have confidence that justice in this country is dispensed impartially.

This is what happens when you embolden a drug addict. He seethes with resentment and acts out further. Trump needs consequences and he’s never faced any, whether for sexual assault, business fraud and now political corruption. He will only get worse.

The district court judge should pay no attention to Barr’s politically driven recommendation. It’s not binding on her and deserves no deference at all.

Trump’s gonna slash social security and medicaid to pay for a border wall that was an idea Roger Stone and Sam Nunberg came up with over an 8-ball one night when they needed a way for Trump to remember to be more racist at his rally’s. Fact.

If DOJ reduces its sentencing recommendation below the sentencing guidelines for Stone after Trump’s public criticism, U.S. Attorney must resign. Otherwise, he is either not in charge of his own office or is a pawn of the president. Both are intolerable.

Put aside questions of excessiveness for a min -- how's the Department leadership shocked to see a sentencing recommendation based on the Guidelines? Why is *this* case/defendant different? How are prosecutors supposed get up in court to explain this?

1. Donald Trump is a unique & dangerous threat to our Republic. 2. He must be stopped. 3. ALL OF US must come together to stop him. 4. Therefore, I pledge to support WHOEVER the Democrat nominee is. 5. If a libertarian/conservative like me can make that pledge, can’t you?

This nails it right here. What @TheJusticeDept AG Barr did damaged every case under DOJ jurisdiction. Every last one of them. It damaged the @FBI’s ability to investigate as well because who is going to help a corrupt administration? It gave criminals a signal too.

I lived in the New York City that @MikeBloomberg had stopped and frisked. He wants to be president, so it is good that that every black and Latino voter—in particular—is learning what he really thought about that failed, discriminatory policy.

The White House -- OMB specifically -- appears to have lied to GAO when they told them that no one at the Pentagon general counsel's office had expressed concerns about the legality of the president blocking aid to Ukraine.

OMB's top lawyer redacted all those discussions when emails were released to the public, and then told GAO the discussions never happened.https://t.co/ermqQV810D
Shitheads gonna shithead. Time to believe the reports that Barr has corrupted the criminal cases spun out of the Special Counsel investigation. I cannot imagine a more criminal man than this AG. He is a heat-seeking weapon of war against the rule of law.
