Totally normal, I mean this happens to all presidents and attorneys general, right? A thousand former prosecutors from both sides of the aisle signing a statement about how the Justice Department is corrupt. Happens all the time!

"more than 960 former Justice Department prosecutors accused Barr of appearing to serve the president’s personal political interests. The prosecutors, whose service dates to President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s administration, said in the filing that Barr violated his oath to faithfully execute the law and helped Trump undermine the Constitution by giving an aide impunity to lie to government investigators."
"Our democracy is safe only when the enormous power of federal law enforcement is applied equally to all citizens based on facts and the law, rather than the political whims of a particular president,” the group wrote. “President Trump and Attorney General Barr have flouted these principles by seeking to dismiss the prosecution of Michael Flynn for what appear to be partisan political reasons.”
I hope the decision to open this all up proves to finally be the straw that breaks the camel's back. It would be asking a lot, I realize, but at the least, the more statements like the above are driven home to the public, the better for our country. Throw the bums out.
