WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Top Democrats in the U.S. Senate are sounding alarms about the special counsel’s investigation into possible Russia election meddling, saying President Donald Trump’s pick for the next attorney general, William Barr, could derail the probe.
They are also concerned by reports that Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker does not have to recuse himself from overseeing the investigation, even though he repeatedly criticized it.
====================================
Trump picked Barr out of all the lawyers in the U.S. because of his written opinions criticizing the Mueller probe. This is transparent treachery to obstruct justice by decree.
