Senators to Barr: "The shocking action taken by you or your senior staff to seek special protections for Mr. Stone make a mockery of your responsibilities to seek equal justice under the law."

But Barr has done this more than once: he has a habit of subjecting political cases to special review of the prosecutors' actions, looking for excuses to intervene.

Prosecutors in the US have been known to break the law so as to make trials unfair. It might be a wise policy to give _every_ trial a special review to see if prosecutors violated the defendant's rights — if that were done fairly.

However, special preference for cronies of the conman is not justice. The prosecutors in the Stone case resigned in protest.

Bizarrely, Barr claims that the conman is undermining his authority by tweeting about this. I cannot believe that Barr really wishes to be independent of the conman, or that he is so.
