3. Former prosecutors to Tim Shea:

Barr and Trump's actions "have created the perception that political interest has been married to substantive prosecutorial decisions at the highest level, and that the Office no longer is able, nor can it be trusted, to act independently."👇
4. "Recent events in the last few weeks, which continue unabated as this letter is written, have created significant alarm and concern that the Office’s independence, devoid of political influence, is in grave and imminent peril."
