More than 1,250 former Justice Department workers on Wednesday called on the agency’s internal watchdog to investigate Attorney General William P. Barr’s involvement in law enforcement’s move last week to push a crowd of largely peaceful demonstrators back from Lafayette Square using horses and gas.
In a letter to Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz, the group said it was “deeply concerned about the Department’s actions, and those of Attorney General William Barr himself, in response to the nationwide lawful gatherings to protest the systemic racism that has plagued this country throughout its history.”
“In particular, we are disturbed by Attorney General Barr’s possible role in ordering law enforcement personnel to suppress a peaceful domestic protest in Lafayette Square on June 1, 2020, for the purpose of enabling President Trump to walk across the street from the White House and stage a photo op at St. John’s Church, a politically motivated event in which Attorney General Barr participated,” the group wrote.
The group asked Horowitz to “immediately open and conduct an investigation of the full scope of the Attorney General’s and the DOJ’s role” in that and other events.

The fact that ONLY 27% of Americans are deluded enough to call Trump a “man of faith” is an amazing condemnation. Consider the US: - UFOs are aliens: 33% - ghosts & demons: 45% - deny human evolution: 38% Trump’s 27% is LOW (in the context of ****ed-up US beliefs), not high.
From Twitter:
@kaitlancollins: "President Trump says his first rally since March 2nd will be in Tulsa, Oklahoma next Friday."
@goldengateblond: "he's seriously going to spend Juneteenth riling up a**holes in a place known for a horrific race massacre and you'll never convince me it's accidental"
Is this the speech Miller is writing?

Donald Trump Jr.'s trip to Mongolia last August, where he hunted a rare breed of giant sheep, cost US taxpayers about $75,000 in Secret Service protection, according to documents obtained by CREW.
Seriously, in the middle of a global pandemic, this POS needs to do that? Ugh.
Also, with regards to tRumps's next rally, while I fully believe the date and location were selected on purpose, I think he has no clue as to why they were selected and is just so giddy he gets to have his ego stroked at one of his hate rallies.
