The decision adds to the criticism federal judges and others have had about Barr and his handling of the end of the Mueller investigation. Jackson and others have repeatedly questioned Barr’s motives to keep documents related to the investigation — including Mueller’s findings and Barr’s reactions to them — secret or by delaying their release.
“The agency’s redactions and incomplete explanations obfuscate the true purpose of the memorandum, and the excised portions belie the notion that it fell to the Attorney General to make a prosecution decision or that any such decision was on the table at any time,” Jackson wrote in a 35-page opinion released Tuesday.
Judge Amy Berman Jackson issued an opinion ordering the release of a Department of Justice Office of Legal Counsel memo and related DOJ internal communications that Bill Barr claimed factored into his conclusion that Donald Trump could not be charged for the obstruction of justice offenses documented in the Mueller report.
Judge Jackson’s findings are scathing, criticizing the representations of Barr’s DOJ in the litigation as “disingenuous” and unworthy of “credence.”
Editor’s note: Download, and save this, print it out and get a yellow highlighter ready to go through it. I have printe mine out and ready to start on it. I smell the Bill Barr doo doo having hit the fan all the way to Grand Rapids.

How many presidents can be in jail if law was properly respected. So Let the Cowboys be heroes .
I noticed that you are so obsessed with Trump, that you don’t even notice, what Biden is doing!
We must arrest a president, any president, but this one especially, because this must be put an end to, or a secular democracy cannot be obtained.
Obtained, because it is not existent. We have the framework and intention, but not the object itself. We have the tools and potential, but not the actual thing.
Oligarchy and all of its machinations, must be served notice. We do not worship sperm. We serve the will of the governed. Anything else is an affront to our being and an attempt at usurpation. Biden is on notice to limit the powers of the executive branch.
