Summary
"They do not have the political legitimacy to be the public face of tough decisions and they lack the political buy-in necessary to publicly defend those decisions.""The attorney general, senior DOJ officials and U.S. attorneys are indeed political, but they are political in a good and necessary sense," Barr added.Barr argued that the DOJ in recent years "has sometimes acted more like a trade association for federal prosecutors than the administrator of a fair system of justice based on clear and sensible legal rules."The statement appears to be an echo of his arguments in the wake of his extraordinary decision to drop charges against Flynn, who he has cast as a victim of overzealous prosecutors from former special counsel Robert Mueller's office."In case after case, we have advanced and defended hyper-aggressive extensions of the criminal law.
