Bill Barr says he has ‘friends on the other side’ politically who can’t name any Trump administration transgressions of constitutional norms and the rule of law other than the travel ban, about which his they splutter after staring vacuously. Let me help. justice.gov/opa/speech/att…

In addition to the travel ban, there’s the census citizenship question case in which evidence establishes that the admin secretly plotted with outside bigots to design a change that would suppress minority participation rates and then conspired to conceal it from a federal court.

In addition to the travel ban, there’s the small matter of the president’s private business which he has failed to divest, promoted, directed taxpayer dollars to, and maintained as a deposit box for cash from foreign or domestic actors seeking to gain his favor.

In addition to the travel ban, there are the nepotistic arrangements of his daughter and son-in-law, who have been given top WH jobs and wide-ranging portfolios despite lacking qualifications, and who have been allowed to maintain private businesses that benefit from these roles.

In addition to the travel ban, there is the practice of circumventing the constitutionally-mandated Senate confirmation process and planting radical or radically pliant cabinet secretaries and other acting officials throughout the executive branch.

In addition to the travel ban, there is the zero tolerance policy whose conscious purpose was to visit a cruel and unusual punishment on asylum seekers and their innocent children in order to deter others like them from making the journey to the US.

I could go on
- widespread obstruction of properly predicated investigations
- turning the DOJ into the president’s personal law firm
- refusal to comply with a clear statute compelling disclosure of the president’s tax returns to congress
- pardons of war criminals
