“As a former U.S. attorney general, I am reluctant to publicly criticize my successors. I respect the office and understand just how tough the job can be. But recently, Attorney General William P. Barr has made a series of public statements and taken actions that are so plainly ideological, so nakedly partisan and so deeply inappropriate for America’s chief law enforcement official that they demand a response from someone who held the same office.”
Last month, Barr delivered a speech at a Federalist Society event in Washington, in which he’d accused “the other side” of “the systematic shredding of norms and the undermining of the rule of law” in their censure of President Trump. In those remarks, Barr “exposed himself as a partisan actor, not an impartial law enforcement official.
Barr “made the outlandish suggestion that Congress cannot entrust anyone but the president himself to execute the law.”

Barr wants Trump to be an autocrat, above congress and the courts. That's a nice word for dictator. That's not how our democratic republic operates. And that's why Barr is unfit to serve.
