A 1992 DOJ report titled "The Case for More Incarceration,” with an introductory letter from Attorney General Bill Barr. ncjrs.gov/pdffiles1/Digi…
"overall, I think our system is fair and does not treat people differently... the system seems to operate fairly... people are treated equally in the system.” — AG Bill Barr (to the L.A. Times) on criminal justice back in 1992 articles.latimes.com/1992-06-21/opi…
Barr also co-wrote a piece that said the Obama administration had "had undermined police morale, with the spreading 'Ferguson effect' causing officers to shy away from proactive policing out of fear of prosecution.” washingtonpost.com/opinions/jeff-…
Barr also signed a 2015 letter opposing an earlier version of sentencing reform bill backed by Chuck Grassley.

Jared would have his work cut out for him, basically.

NEW: DOJ report finds Hampton Roads Regional Jail, one of the nation’s deadliest jails, violated detainees’ constitutional rights and federal law. huffp.st/2TaGAES
DOJ evidently hasn’t completely killed "pattern or practice” civil rights cases. This one began in Dec. 2016. huffp.st/2TaGAES
Hampton Roads Regional Jail received national attention after the death of Jamycheal Mitchell, a mentally ill 24-year-old who was locked up for nearly four months for allegedly stealing $5 worth of groceries. huffingtonpost.com/entry/justice-…

A woman who died in jail last week had been in custody since July on a $300 bond for a misdemeanor criminal trespass charge. ksat.com/news/female-in…
Her family didn’t know she was there. It would’ve cost between $30-$100 to get her out.

06/01/2019 - 78 years ago today, the longest-serving #UnitedStates #President, #Franklin D. #Roosevelt (#FDR) addressed the 77th #Congress with his "#Four #Freedoms" speech with the intent to shift #US #foreign #policy from that of #neutrality to #interventionist.
#FDR promoted the idea that the people of the world, in all nations, shared entitlement to four freedoms: that of the freedom of speech and expression, the freedom of worship, the freedom from want and the freedom from fear.
#FDR is arguably one of the most 'successful' #US Presidents. Some would argue that on the basis of his numerous social policies such as 'the New Deal'. Others, however, would argue that his role during the second world war was more prevalent to his success & everlasting legacy.

Per @CNN and @LauraAJarrett : "acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker told former Attorney General Ed Meese during a breakfast meeting in Washington on Wednesday that US Attorney John Huber is continuing his investigation into the wide-ranging allegations." #DOJ #Investigation
You can read more here: cnn.it/2F4PGTD. We are finding more confirmations and sources affirming that there is still an active investigation into the actions of the FBI and other agencies+individuals during the 2016 election cycle. It will never be confirmed however....
....until the investigation has concluded and findings are presented to the appropriate agencies and parties involved. #justice #indictments #trials #tribunals #FISAgate #spygate

Trump announced today that he plans to nominate former attorney general William Barr to be his next attorney general — the news comes exactly one month after Jeff Sessions was forced out buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
On a related note: The Justice Department Still Hasn't Told The Federal Accountability Office That Jeff Sessions Quit
buzzfeednews.com/article/chrisg… by @chrisgeidner
From the NY Times in 1991: "William P. Barr ... is a bagpipe-player, China scholar and one-time employee at the Central Intelligence Agency who got his law degree in night school and has never prosecuted a criminal case in court." buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…

Even though the Mueller team has 16 or 17 attorneys dedicated full-time, we should all recognize that there are actually many more #DOJ attorneys helping the investigation as part of their day-to-day jobs, particularly from DOJ’s DC Criminal Division. /1 washingtonpost.com/news/post-nati…
For example, in order to get wiretaps approved, the Criminal Division’s Office of Enforcement Operations would have to be involved. In order to manage the sharing of evidence and coordination on witnesses with international partners, Office of International Affairs attorneys /2
Would need to be working with the Special Counsel’s team. In addition to those two offices, attorneys in the Criminal Division who supervise those 2 offices (OEO & OIA) would have to be in the loop and doing some work on this. Plus, those guys (and yes they are guys) would /3

1. I think I may have allowed myself to be misdirected by the DOJ and the Wapo.
After thinking carefully, & studying the enormous amount of research on Twitter regarding the possible identity of the FBI source. I think we may have been thrown off the trail.
2. Ever since this letter from the DOJ was released, we have been focused on "a specific individual". But, listen to what Nunes is quoted as saying in the WaPo. on Wednesday may 9th. See points #3 & #4
3. "On Monday, Nunes told reporters that his request did not seek information about a specific person.

“I’ve never referenced an individual. They did. They did that. I didn’t,” he said, referring to the Justice Department."
