Summary:
"CNN Senior Legal Analyst Elie Honig exposes William
Barr
as the most corrupt attorney general in modern U.
S
. history, with stunning new scandals bubbling to the surface even after
Barr
's departure from office. In
Hatchet
Man
, former federal
prosecutor
Elie Honig uncovers Barr’s unprecedented abuse of power as Attorney General and the lasting structural damage done to the
Justice
Department
. Honig uses his own experience as a
prosecutor
at DOJ to show
how
, as America’s top law enforcement official,
Barr
repeatedly violated the Department’s written rules, and those vital, unwritten norms and principles that comprise the “prosecutor’s
code
.”
Barr
was corrupt from the beginning. His first act as AG was to distort the findings of Special Counsel Robert Mueller, earning a public rebuke for his dishonesty from Mueller himself and, later, from a federal judge. Then,
Barr
tried to manipulate the law to squash a whistleblower’s complaint about Trump’s dealings with Ukraine -- the report that eventually led to Trump’s first impeachment.
Barr
later intervened in an unprecedented manner to undermine his own DOJ prosecutors on the cases of Michael Flynn and Roger Stone, both political allies of the President. And then
Barr
fired the U.
S
. Attorney for the Southern District of New York under false pretenses. Finally,
Barr
amplified baseless theories about massive mail-in ballot fraud, pouring gasoline on the dumpster fire battle over the 2020 election results and contributing to the January 6 insurrection that led to Trump’s second impeachment. In
Hatchet
Man
, Honig proves that
Barr
trampled the two core virtues that have long defined the
department
and its mission: credibility and independence -- ultimately in service of his own deeply-rooted, extremist legal and personal beliefs. Honig shows
how
Barr
corrupted
the
Justice
Department
and explains what we must do to prevent this from ever happening again."--Publisher.
