UPDATE on Barr’s illegal Law Enforcement Commn. Oct 1 a fed ct found the Commn violated FACA. This week the ct issued a ltd use injunction allowing Barr to release the Commn’s report but only w/a printed disclaimer indicating that the Commn violated law. The disclaimer must read:

My statement about the potential release of a report marked w/a scarlet D (disclaimer) indicating that the Commn that authored the document was convened illegally:

Meanwhile, yesterday yet another prosecutor resigned from participation on Barr’s embarrassing Commission, saying that the work had been “smothered by a pernicious political agenda.” https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-justice-policing-idUSKBN27Z2S4

And in case you’re wondering what ugly recommendations the Barr Commn has been cooking up in an attempt to set the direction of policing in this country, @DrPhilGoff took a look at the draft report & returned w/this frightening & devastating review. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/20/opinion/trump-commission-police.html

Barr had hoped to release the Commn report in June. Widespread protests in opposition to the killing of George Floyd delayed it. Then he hoped to release it in late Oct-right before the election. Our successful suit stopped it. Kudos to @NAACP_LDF’s @natashacmerle & @SamSpital.

With Trump voted out of office, the rpt (w/disclaimer)enters the dustheap of history & its recommendations will not be implemented. An example of how protests, litigation & voting stopped the unleashing of an even more frightening regime of policing. @DrPhilGoff gets it right:
