I can tell you that standard D.O.J. protocol is that you let official acts speak for themselves. You don't go and spin your action. For example, when I ran the Solicitor General's office, there would be all sorts of times when the litigants would make something up, and we would just never comment to the press. It is not what we do.
- Long

- Nov 07, 2020
The Mueller report is a long subtweet of the Barr memo and demolishes it and says that is absolutely wrong, and fundamentally, in this country, whether you are a high person or a low official, anyone can obstruct justice.
- Looking

- Nov 07, 2020
If you are looking for someone to break the mold, the last guy you look to is Robert Mueller.

Obstruction of justice requires a corrupt intent.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't think the fact that something occurs in public or in private matters at all to obstruction of justice. I mean, if I publicly threaten the prosecutor who's investigating me, I don't think it'd be a particularly compelling defense to say, 'Oh, I did it in public.'
- Hands
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If I got my hands on the Mueller report, the thing I'd want to see is what are the reasons why Barr made the conclusion about obstruction of justice that he did? Was it because of the facts? If so, why didn't he try and interview Trump to learn all the facts?
- Justice
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Appellate advocacy, particularly at the Supreme Court, is really intimate. I mean, you're just a few feet away from the Chief Justice. You know, if you're sweating, they see you.
- He
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It simply cannot be that the president can name his own temporary attorney general to supervise an investigation in which he and his family have a direct, concrete interest.
- Knowledge
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In some cases, Justice Department leaders can supervise investigations despite having personal knowledge about the entities involved.
- Balances
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Judge
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think there is a role for courts in a variety of areas, but the notion that we can allow a federal judge to run our greenhouse gas policy strikes me as preposterous.
- Political
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Traditionally, in America, we have accountability as kind of a key feature of each branch of government in some way. So, you know, you obviously have to run for office. Or if you're a judge, you've got to be nominated by political officials and so on.
- Justice
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Firing the prosecutor who's about to get you or your campaign is kind of quintessential obstruction of justice.
- Perspective
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think probably, you know, from my perspective, the folks who say a sitting president cannot be indicted have the better of the argument that the president can't be indicted - put, you know, through a criminal trial while he is president - and that the proper way to do it is to impeach him first, remove him, and then seek criminal prosecution.
- Life

- Nov 07, 2020
I said that my parents had come from India. They thought America was a place where people were treated equally, and their kids would have an amazing life.

I like doing scholarship for its own sake.
- Justice
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I used to walk down the Justice Department on the fifth floor and see all those portraits of legendary attorneys general, Griffin Bell and Robert Jackson and people like that. Bill Barr will not be like that.
- Know
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Trump knows he's facing some pretty strong criminal liability when he leaves office, one way or another. Even if a sitting president can't be indicted, he's got to know his future looks like it's behind bars unless he cuts some sort of deal with the prosecutors.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In our Constitution, our bedrock principle, you know - indeed, what the nation was founded on - is an idea of freedom of religion: that we don't single out people because of their religion.
- Make
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Our Supreme Court has been very clear that the government can't just simply say something and make it so.

The Supreme Court should televise its proceedings.
- Donald Trump

- Nov 07, 2020
Donald Trump is the swamp.
- Discrimination

- Justice
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't want to get into predicting how Judge Gorsuch would vote on the Supreme Court as a Justice Gorsuch. But I will say that those of us who've seen him in court as a judge, those of us who have worked with him as I have on a appellate rules committee, understand that this is a man who brings independence and integrity to the job.
- Done
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The special counsel regulations were written to provide the public with confidence that justice was done.
- Government
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Sometimes momentous government action leaves everyone uncertain about the next move.
- Justice
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
No one wants a president to be guilty of obstruction of justice. The only thing worse than that is a guilty president who goes without punishment.
- More
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Independence sounds good in theory, but in practice, it is mutually exclusive with accountability. The more independence you give a prosecutor, the less you make that prosecutor accountable to the public and regular checks and balances.
- Moment
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The special-counsel regulations were drafted at a unique historical moment. We were approaching the end of President Bill Clinton's second term, and no one knew who would be elected president the next year.
- Election
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Appointing special counsel Robert Mueller to probe Russian meddling in the 2016 election (and any possible ties to President Trump's campaign) was the only choice the Justice Department had. This is the best way to deal with the conflicts and potential conflicts of interest these matters posed.
- Insurance
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Even if I might say to myself, 'I don't need health insurance. I won't get sick,' the fact is, as human beings with mortality, we are going to get sick, and it's unpredictable when.
- Care
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think that the terms of the Affordable Care Act do give the states a fair amount of wiggle room and to do things as they see fit. The Affordable Care Act was not designed as some sort of one-size-fits-all solution from Washington. There's lots of discretion given to the states.
- Law
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The public has every right to see Robert S. Mueller III's conclusions. Absolutely nothing in the law or the regulations prevents the report from becoming public. Indeed, the relevant sources of law give Attorney General P. William Barr all the latitude in the world to make it public.
- Confidence
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The idea that the special counsel regulations, which were written to provide the public with confidence against a coverup, would empower an attorney general to restrict disclosure in an investigation of the president is a nonstarter.
- Classified Information
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Executive branch rules require sensitive classified information to be discussed in specialized facilities that are designed to guard against the possibility that officials are being targeted for surveillance outside of the workplace.

The hospital room of a cabinet official is exactly the type of target ripe for surveillance by a foreign power.
- General
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The Solicitor General is responsible for overseeing appellate litigation on behalf of the United States and with representing the United States in the Supreme Court.

Following the attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States uprooted more than 100,000 people of Japanese descent, most of them American citizens, and confined them in internment camps. The Solicitor General was largely responsible for the defense of those policies.
- Defiance
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Barr has thrown himself in with Trump in ways unbecoming to the nation's highest legal official. His conduct in trying to clear Trump is of a piece with his baseless attacks on 'spying' by the FBI and his defiance of Congress's subpoenas.
- More
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Trump and Barr both insist that he has been cleared, but that's not what more than 1,000 former federal prosecutors who read the Mueller report say: The evidence described in the report would lead to an indictment of anyone else in the country. If that's right, we simply cannot have a president who remains in office because of a technicality.
