Attorney General Nominee Promises to Allow Mueller to Finish His Work
But the nominee, William P. Barr, also suggested that he was aware that he could not stop the president from ordering him to end the investigation."But Mr. Barr’s written statement also included a subtle caveat, limiting his assurances about the investigation to issues under his control: “I can assure you that, where judgments are to be made by me, I will make those judgments based solely on the law and will let no personal, political, or other improper interests influence my decision,” he wrote.
That qualification could be important because Mr. Barr has long advanced a philosophy of strong executive powers under which almost any executive branch decision is ultimately the president’s to make and the president is the nation’s top law-enforcement official, not the attorney general."
" “Obviously, the president and any other official can commit obstruction in this classic sense of sabotaging a proceeding’s truth-finding function,” Mr. Barr wrote, noting that the president is not exempt from the law."
William P. Barr should not be confirmed as Attorney General.
