While Cohen had pleaded guilty, our office continued to pursue investigations related to other possible campaign finance violations [including by Trump]. When Barr took over in February 2019, he not only tried to kill the ongoing investigations but—incredibly—suggested that Cohen’s conviction on campaign finance charges be reversed. Barr summoned Rob Khuzami in late February to challenge the basis of Cohen’s plea as well as the reasoning behind pursuing similar campaign finance charges against other individuals [including Trump].

If the above is true, it wouldn’t be Barr’s only time subverting justice while heading the Justice Department, according to Berman, who says Barr ordered John Kerry investigated for possible prosecution for violating the Logan Act (like Trump is doing now!) by engaging in foreign policy when not in office.

Most people know that when special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation was completed—documenting 10 prosecutable cases of Donald Trump personally engaging in criminal obstruction of justice and witness tampering to prevent the Mueller report investigators from getting to the bottom of Trump’s 2016 connections to Russia—Barr buried the report for weeks.

And it doesn’t stop there. Just last month, The New York Times revealed how Barr apparently inserted himself into a Justice Department criminal investigation of a billion-dollar corporation for allegedly corruptly hiding its income offshore to avoid paying its fair share of taxes.
