Garland and DOJ must finish Mueller's work. Investigate Trump for obstruction of justice.
Nothing is more important for our democracy than ensuring that Trump does not escape justice forever simply because he was once elected president.
A recent legal decision and partially released memo make clear what we have long known: Attorney General William Barr’s primary mission as head of the Department of Justice was to prevent President Donald Trump from facing consequences for his actions, no matter what the special counsel or anyone else uncovered.
Many of us have long suspected that Barr deliberately set out to spin the contents of the Mueller report and manufacture bogus legal analysis in order to protect Trump from facing consequences for the crimes laid out in the report. We now have proof that Barr did exactly that.
Barr’s ruse worked. Americans were confused about what special counsel Robert Mueller did and did not find, Trump escaped any accountability, and, two years later, most people have forgotten about the Mueller investigation.
