Political Trials Should Be Tried Outside of the Beltway
Excerpt: Attorney General William Barr is enlisting U.S. attorneys outside the Beltway either to investigate or review several high-level cases related to President Trump, the Washington Post reported over the weekend. Barr has asked federal prosecutors from “far-flung offices,” as the Post described it, located in remote places such as Connecticut and Chicago, to handle these sensitive matters. Barr’s legal shuffling of the deck includes the egregious prosecution of Lt. General Michael Flynn; the investigation into Crossfire Hurricane, the FBI’s counterintelligence probe of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign; and new material collected by Rudy Giuliani detailing alleged corruption in Ukraine possibly tied to U.S. politicians. [This is a brilliant solution to the problem of rendering just, NON-POLITICAL decisions in highly politicized areas. It ought to become standard procedure, especially in DC. When more than 90% of an area’s citizens are from one party, there’s little chance for a fair trial for anyone of the “out” party. Ron P.]
