a) Fire everyone hired under the Obama Administration.
b) Shut down the FBI and start from scratch.
c) Shut down every "intelligence agency" that didn't exist 50 years ago.
d) Shut down 90% of Federal agencies and departments.
Only then does the USA have a chance of surviving as the great country we once were.

I am a follower of true crime. I am constantly struck by how reluctant prosecutors are to EVER admit they made a mistake, even when there is clear and compelling evidence that mistakes were made (inadvertent or deliberate) and even when an innocent person is rotting in jail. The prosecutors and DAs and all will just not EVER admit that they could have been wrong. And they stick together.

These "letter-signers" are scary because they are of the mindset that their own opinions take precedence over the truth and the facts, and that they are SO ingrained in that mindset that they really may not even realize it. They are embalmed in their unshakeable sense of their own righteousness.

An extreme example is Comey - I think he really believes that he is a higher and better form of human than the rest of us. His self-righteousness and belief in his own nobility is so deeply ingrained that it is the very medium he exists in. He doesn't recognize it as just his own delusional bubble. I think a lot of these "letter-signers" are like that (maybe not as extreme).

And people with that attitude have sent a lot of innocent people to prison and will never, ever admit they ever made any mistakes. They are very scary people, because people like that have SO much power over the lives of others.

The letter is going to have zero impact on anything that Barr does.

I'm of the opinion that the purpose of the letter is not so much to have an impact upon AG Barr, but to contribute to the shaping of public opinion, to give the MMSM another weapon for their war against the big, bad OrangeMan. Although people are becoming wise to the MMSM, there is still a large percentage of the general public that are under the influence of the MMSM, that are still falling for "The Big Conjob".

We have an election coming up, and the enemy is fighting hard to win. It would be good if Durham could start dropping some indictments sometime soon, so that our side can have some more weapons to fight back with.

"We served under both Republican and Democratic administrations at different levels of the federal system..."

That means absolutely nothing. Obama is infamous for having weaponized every area of the government that he could. So Obama's minions hire someone, and they don't get fired, so when Trump takes office, they now "serve under a Republican administration." Of course the same would apply to Clinton era hires, and Bush was a Republican but definitely not a conservative and also a world government proponent.

The leftist vermin has infiltrated, corrupted, weaponized, and made a mockery of all of our government institutions. I think the only thing that's going to fix this quagmire of corruption and skullduggery is a total reboot. There are far too many unelected leftist apparatchiks who have the authority to ruin our lives. Without honest people of good integrity, ethics, and morals, there can be no honest government.

We should be grateful that they are all former.

I'd be curious to compare this list to the list of those who have signed on to any petition asserting the actual innocence of any sentenced criminal defendant in any jurisdiction. BTW, any of the signatories involved in the Ted Stevens or New Orleans Hurricane Katrina prosecutions sign on to this?

More reprobates, disgusting.
The more important issues are that Trump or Barr can't be bought or influenced by those that hide behind the law.

From the article: "Barr should immediately start a probe of every case handled by everyone who signed this petition, and, where warranted, recommend executive clemency and initiate disciplinary proceedings."

While I definitely agree that serious investigations of the deep-state DOJ signatories of this letter are fully warranted, that's a LOT of irons to toss in the fire right BEFORE any current investigation reports from Barr and Durham are made public. Starting new investigations right now would only "roil the waters" more. At this time, we should be laser focused on reporting and indicting the conspiratorial "vermin" at the top of Obama's DOJ, FBI, CIA and State Department. These are the "dominoes" that rightly deserve to fall first.

Great! Now we have a list of those who are infiltrating the DOJ and part of the coup.

Investigate all 2,000

"While this letter will have no impact on Barr he should not ignore it.
He should use these 2,000 names as a point of departure to carve out the
rot in his agency."

Carving out the rot in his agency would only leave a handful of people. I say go for it.

"What do you call 2000 former Doj employees?"

"A start "
In quotes because I'm pretty sure I read it somewhere.

"Former federal prosecutors, served under both Republican and Democrat administrations."
Yeh, they took the paychecks and did their political shenanigans, like the other 2000 who will be signing the next silly letter, did.
That letter is going to be shown to be a roll of rejected toilet paper, stolen out of the hands of another, from a Walmart, by a hippo.
Wipe it all up, Democrats, while you can.

Just because they served under a republican administration means nothing. They all serve their leftist overlords to destroy this country from the inside out.

"The Mueller report describes several acts that satisfy all of the elements for an obstruction charge: conduct that obstructed or attempted to obstruct the truth-finding process, as to which the evidence of corrupt intent and connection to pending proceedings is overwhelming."

In other words, if investigators satisfy all the elements of a crime, even if the crime was contrived by the investigators, the "criminal" should be indicted, prosecuted and punished. The desperation is showing.

P.S. How did investigators overwhelmingly prove "corrupt intent" when everything Trump did was out in the open, unlike Obama's meetings behind closed doors?

This is the same conceit that criminalizes a lie to an FBI agent. It should not be a crime. In NY, a lie to a police officer is not a crime; it is merely a witness's first payment on the truth on the installment plan program.

A former chief assistant district attorney in NY County was once asked if he thought criminalizing lies to a police officer was a good idea. His response was that DAs would spend all their time doing those cases, which, frankly, are wholly unimportant.

Oh, worse than that.

"In other words, if investigators satisfy all the elements of a crime, even if the crime was contrived by the investigators..."

The "crime" that was never even committed contrived or not. Zero "obstruction" occurred...except, according to them, in Trump's head. So "thought crime".

CNN's dilemma is, "How can we get 2,000 more traitors on our payroll?"

I guess the good news is that they're "former" government employees. I realize that they're all Godless creatures, but I've always wondered what they get out of life and what do they think is their legacy after they leave this earth?

Nice of them to identify themselves.

The Federal Government is the largest 'Sleeper Cell' on the planet. These careerists accumulate, and like so many copies of the 'Stuxnet' worm, they 'worm' their ways into powerful career positions throughout the Deep State and await that moment when the signal to act is received from the controller from somewhere.

The so-called 'Permanent' government is as utterly unmoored from the Constitution as the SCOTUS justices who have ratified it and its actions over the last 120 years. The time has long since past for it to be dismantled and the powers that it has usurped devolved back to the people and their respective states.

First thought was, "former DoJ staffers". I wondered how many of them were the walkouts who became "formers" with their virtue signaling...but have every intention of returning in glory once Orangemanbad is ousted and "proper" Progressive democrat Socialist government is restored.

Second thought was the fellow travelers of those 2000 who are still in place...shame they're too cowardly to put their names on it as well. I'm sure some remain since DoJ has like a bazillion little minions most of whom are of the fellow traveler variety. Those close friends, mentors and ones mentored by the tyrannical 2000 that you mention, where are their signatures?

Only tyrannical gov't--or gov't employees-- champions the persecution by prosecution of an innocent man.

Soon the proof will build up and the Dems/media will be reduced to arguing, "they HAD to break these laws because Orange Man Bad." and confess their guilt and try to spin it with virtue signaling.

Just like they're doing with Biden now and his rapeyness. "We don't care, we need to win."

And suddenly, they'll realize they said the quiet part out loud and the mass of the public who has not been paying attention or confused by all this he-said-she-said will be repulsed.

The public will not trust Dems with vote by mail. They won't blame Trump for Covid deaths nor whatever still ails the economy.

This election will be a referendum on the Democrat party itself. And if some of what I've read is true, they'll be helpless to explain ALL of that Obamagate stuff while trying to spin BILLIONS of dollars of taxpayer money they laundered through Ukraine and other countries right into their fat stupid pockets.

You think Pelosi's icecream video was bad? Wait till the totality of ALL this criminality and cruelty catches up to them.

They simply will not know which way to scream. Won't matter.

Trump will take exactly ZERO chances that they win in November.

It's all coming out. And it will be good till the last drop, just like Folgers.

Flak, over, target,... you can string the words together yourself.

Durham will never finish his investigations if these folks keep running around begging for someone to look into their collusion - and he's just looking at DoJ. An exceedingly consequential executive branch, to be sure, but there is no reason to suppose that the other agencies have been immune to this level of rot.

Since ratifying the 23rd Amendment DC has voted more than 80% Democrat, save twice: only 78% Dem on Nixon's reelection; only 75% Dem for Reagan's first election when they went nearly 10% for John Anderson. Since 2008 it's been over 90% Democrat - far far exceeding even California's 62% blowout for Hillary.

These are the folks from whom the DC agency staffing is hired: the managers & supervisors, the agenda setters, the policy & priority writers, the lawyers, the HR people - all the little soldiers who make the departments and agencies what they are....

The District of Corruption is a den of leftist vipers.

So many fellow traveling minions ready to do their duty for "the cause" of advancing tyranny...on all of US...not on them.

That's why Trump and Barr won't rely on that fight to win in November. By the time those court fights happen, if they do, the public support for justice will be at a fever pitch.

That's my guess anyway. Not gonna play out like anything we've seen before. Already isn't.

This is why Democrats are rarely prosecuted in the DC Circuit, while Republicans are railroaded in the same system, because the jury pool will always show the bias. RE: Roger Stone.

We served under both Republican and Democratic administrations...

This is code for "we're all highly partisan Democrats."

a) Fire everyone hired under the Obama Administration.
b) Shut down the FBI and start from scratch.
c) Shut down every "intelligence agency" that didn't exist 50 years ago.
d) Shut down 90% of Federal agencies and departments.
Only then does the USA have a chance of surviving as the great country we once were.
PS, I'm willing to serve as the mop to clean up the swamp. Trump can hire me as the "You're fired!" Czar.

Because, until now, there's been little difference.

...whom Republican presidents were unable or unwilling to root out.

It basically means they were career line employees that didn't quit in a fit of pique when a Republican was elected. No different from your mailman.

But this allows them to pound their chests and claim they served in "both Democrat and Republican Administrations."

Previous Republican President while they were there weren't different than Democrat ones as far as DoJ was concerned. Plus a lot more has become a lot more political as every year has passed. Bias was always there but most of it stopped short of actual partisan action.

Cass Sunstein has a theory about how a particular point of view becoming too dominant reaches a critical mass and then veers off into extremism.

Which explains how the largest cultural institutions, media, entertainment, publishing, education and government bureaucracies have moved so far to the Left in recent years.

Leftists only ever hire other Leftists, while Conservative organizations still welcome Left-Wing activists into their ranks.

PS: It's been documented that Eric Holder went on a radical Left-Wing hiring spree at DOJ.

2,000 is actually pretty good for these Democrat "X number of [pick one: Historians|Physicians|Ethics Professors|Philosopher Kings]" chain letters. When Clinton was being impeached, they had to settle for a mere 300 historians. Last year a measly 500 law professors signed the PR stunt about Trump's "impeachable offenses."

If I get bored maybe I'll start a web site to log these things. They have several a year.

Group thinking group actions; "Consensus" pushers, rulers by committee...note the space for individual accountability and responsibility has been completely erased. They are openly a "mob"

My first thought was deja vu. My second thought was, "2000? That's all they could muster from the swamp?"

Well, I'll be, back in FEB2020 another letter from Protect Democracy was published when Roger Stone was being lynched, calling for Barr's resignation.

Funny how the snakes hiss so loud when the AG is doing the right thing.

Hmmmmm, wasn't that same "publication" later debunked??????

BHO at it again. Tsk, tsk, tsk........

and the pattern that emerges is clear: their efforts are ever more predictable and pathetic and inconsequential.

Verdict: they can't stop whatever is coming. If they could, they would.

It's like de ja vu all over again.....when was the last "2,000 FORMER justice officials" letter published????

Hmmmmm???? Give me a moment..........Hmmmmm?

Contact tracing in a different direction eh?

Well thought of idea, Streiff.

They just can't help themselves. Lucky for the President everyday more of them expose themselves. There's 2000 he won't have to look for. Add them to the list.

And the leakers in the past few years who were almost instantly revealed to be full of Schiff also outed themselves.

What we thought was a disorganized White House in chaos was a purge in slow motion. Trump got to figure out who the scum were by giving them fake crap to leak. And when they took the bait they couldn't resist... Boom.

Now it's all a matter of dropping truth bombs on them until the public is so disgusted with the Democrats that their party name is worse than mud -- it'll be toxic sh!t sludge.

By the time this is over, the public will be the one's demanding prosecution. Their guilt will be exposed beyond a reasonable doubt through documentary proof in text, video, audio, and testimony and confessions. Probably some suicides, too.

Well, one can hope and dream.

It's as if the left wants Trump to have legs to stand on when he brags about draining the swamp

Yeah and all these cats were super supportive of W too right? Nah, screw off bastages.

Take your last paragraph and apply it to all federal departments, including the military, especially the military.

I want want the Dept. of No=Education gone, along with the Common(c)rap of Gates/Obama.
