Former AG Bill Barr says prosecutors should drop Trump cases: ‘Do the right thing'

[The Hill] Former Attorney General Bill Barr encouraged prosecutors to drop pending charges against President-elect Trump, saying the public "have rendered their verdict."

"The American people have rendered their verdict on President Trump, and decisively chosen him to lead the country for the next four years," Barr said in an interview with Fox News, after the White House race was called for Trump.

"They did that with full knowledge of the claims against him by prosecutors around the country and I think Attorney General Garland and the state prosecutors should respect the people’s decision and dismiss the cases against President Trump now," he added.

Trump was convicted in New York on 34 felony charges related to hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels and still faces indictments in three other trials. His actions to block the peaceful transfer of power after his 2020 loss sparked federal charges as well as a case in Georgia, while the former president also faced federal counts for retaining classified documents at his Florida estate, before the case was indefinitely postponed by the judge.

Trump is set to face sentencing in the New York case later this month but has also sought to toss the case after the Supreme Court ruled that former presidents retain broad immunity after leaving office.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) under a second Trump administration is widely expected to move to drop both federal cases against the president-elect.

The GOP presidential nominee also pledged to fire special counsel Jack Smith, who is overseeing the election interference cases, "within two seconds."

While I agree, the Prosecutors & Judges involved were political and not legal code based.

To avoid a legal system precedent, the cases should be independently reviewed and clearly shown to be politically based, and not legal code based.

Above all, it must be an open, fair and honest review to avoid it looking like a Banana Republic Political Revenge move.

Then EVERY person involved and/or failed to adhere to their Oath Of Office should be indited, banned from Government, and/or have their Licenses to practice law revoked.

#7 Trump attorney Mike Davis:

"Let me just say this to Big Tish James, the New York Attorney General; I dare you, I dare you to try to continue your lawfare against President Trump in his second term because, listen here, sweetheart, we're not messing around this time, and we will put your fat ass in prison for conspiracy against rights. I promise you that, so think long and hard before you want to violate President Trump's constitutional rights or any other American's constitutional rights. It's not going to happen again."

HT to RedState

Trumps lawyer makes letitia james a deal she can't refuse.
