That will sting
George Washington University has issued a statement on William Barr:
The George Washington University Law School released a statement on June 23, 2020 calling for Attorney General William Barr to resign, for Congress to censure him, and for the Justice Department’s Inspector General to investigate him.
Barr received a juris doctorate from the Law School in 1977, served on its board of advisors, and has previously been honored by the school.
Most of the faculty signed.
The Law School’s statement cites the following as instances of Barr’s failure to uphold his constitutional oath to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States.” The signers assert that Barr
- Deliberately misled Americans about the contents of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report,
- Intervened in Roger Stone’s sentencing,
- Interfered with the prosecution of Michael Flynn,
- And violated civilians’ First Amendment right to assemble and protest at Lafayette Square on June 1, 2020.
Disbarment proceedings might matter to him, but I’m not expecting a statement of request to be very effective. Not in the Trump administration, I’m sure they’ll cry politics and wait until it goes away.
As Worf would say, “They have no honor.”
