Bill Barr Is Incredibly Corrupt. He's Also Incredibly Inept.

A few years ago, I reached out to the Department of Justice with a straightforward question: How does the Department define “justice”? “I don’t recall ever being asked this question,” the press officer responded. Two years later, he wrote back.

“I’m not aware of any definition of Justice in a policy manual or guideline,” he said. “Our library staff also looked into this, and also concluded there is no set definition that the department refers to.” The press officer pointed me to a speech delivered by Attorney General Robert H. Jackson in 1940, which described “the qualities of a good prosecutor” as a man “who tempers zeal with human kindness, who seeks truth and not victims, who serves the law and not factional purposes, and who approaches his task with humility.”

This was a bit of misdirection, since the Department of Justice does have a definition of justice that it works from: Justice is whatever the attorney general decides it to be.

The Epic Fails of Bill Barr

When William Barr appears before the House Judiciary Committee later this month—only his second appearance before Congress during his 16-month tenure as attorney general—he’ll have to answer to that vision. Barr’s critics have fixated on the argument that his corruption disqualifies him from office. That argument has been made by more than 2,600 former federal prosecutors calling for his resignation. A Judiciary Committee hearing this month saw two federal prosecutors testify to Barr’s interference in their cases for political reasons—accounts that he ignored or dismissed as “false” and based on “double hearsay.” All this spectacle gives the illusion that something remarkable is going on under his leadership. What we’re seeing is, in fact, a familiar story: powerful Washington lawyers casting aspersions on each other's integrity. This is a game that Barr has played for nearly 30 years. And he’s good at it.

4. The author misses a few things, however

First - Barr got away with all of these things while in office - they were reversed and/or discredited AFTER he left and after the damage eas done. So, he may be inept, but he's good enough to get away with it while he's in charge.
