56. Bill Barr abused his power as AG and protected Trump and prevented investigations into him

Bill Barr, should be disbarred. Justice should be blind to who a person is, or what power they have, but not blinded as to be forbidden to investigate someone because of the office they hold or held.

Barr, abused the office of AG to protect Trump like he was his client. He has whitewashed other investigations and outright prevented anyone into investigating Trump's ties to Russia and lied about the Mueller investigation. Barr threw justice under the bus, and believes that the President should be above the law and has demonstrated this time and time again.

I think Barr's actions while he was AG all need to be investigated for his blatant obstruction and distortion of facts
