Once again, Bill Barr is doing Trump's dirty work.
And once again, Barr has undermined the legitimacy of our justice system and the rule of law. pic.twitter.com/lUuRoqFqeD
AG Barr’s decision to end @TheJusticeDept’s investigation of Michael Flynn fits an obvious pattern of politicized law enforcement. This pattern is #TrumpJustice ➡️ Using law enforcement to reward friends and punish enemies.

Trump, Fox & WSJ continue to lie about what Mueller found. That's their choice.

But the evidence shows Trump’s campaign invited Russian help, made full use of it & covered it up.
Just read Mueller's report: https://t.co/zODJLW8QQy
