San Francisco Chronicle published my Letter to the Editor this AM:

“Regarding the Chronicle’s  Editorial on DOJ (May 11), I was in the Department of Justice under five presidents, and Bill Barr when he first served as attorney general.  For the second time, I joined some two thousand fellow alumni of the Department in seeking Bill Barr’s resignation.  We share shock and sadness over the Department under Bill Barr.  As a United States Attorney, initially appointed by President Carter, I served President Reagan’s attorney general, William

French Smith, as his chairman of the advisory committee of US Attorneys.  In today’s partisan climate, my role of advising an attorney general of the Republican Party as a Democrat would never happen.  Each chapter of Barr’s tenure is more shoddy than the last.  My hat is off to those career Justice attorneys who declined to lend their names to the motion to dismiss charges against General Flynn.”

My friend and colleague George is a true American hero and one of the most dedicated public servants I have known. We actually go back to my days as the Deputy General Counsel of the “Legacy” INS during the Carter and Reagan Administrations.  George is also a Veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps. I remember that George and I were in the same “New Judge Training Class” at the National Judicial College in Reno after Ashcroft “exiled” me from the BIA in 2003!

George is a prime example of the nonpartisan career lawyers and civil servants being “ground into the dust” by the shenanigans of the politicized, unethical, and biased DOJ under Sessions and Barr.

Thanks for speaking out, George!

Due Process Forever!
