I think a ton of long time DOJ staff jumped ship when Sessions took over. Now Barr is totally dismantling rule of law. It will take decades to undo what Trump has done.

My link to the DOJ went dark on the day Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III came in. I think a ton of long time DOJ staff quit when Sessions took over. 

Now Barr is completing the dismantling of rule of law. Not just the DOJ. It will take a decade or more to get the DOJ, FBI & intelligence agencies back and running.

"Philadelphia U.S. District Judge Cynthia Rufe, who heads the independent Federal Judges Association, said the group “could not wait” until its spring conference to weigh in on a deepening crisis that has enveloped the Justice Department and Attorney General William Barr... 

The unusual concern voiced by the judges’ group comes in the wake of an equally unusual protest. More than 2,000 former Justice Department officials called on Barr to resign Sunday, claiming his handling of the Stone case "openly and repeatedly flouted" the principle of equal justice. 

"Although there are times when political leadership appropriately weighs in on individual prosecutions, it is unheard of for the department’s top leaders to overrule line prosecutors, who are following established policies, in order to give preferential treatment to a close associate of the president, as Attorney General Barr did in the Stone case," the letter reads."
