Washington Post is freaking out

In a uncommon act of courage, James D. Herbert, an assistant U.S. attorney for Massachusetts, wrote a letter published in the Boston Globe taking Attorney General William P. Barr to task for his “unprecedented politicization of the office of the attorney general.” What is extraordinary is not that Herbert went public with these well-founded accusations but that so few others in the department have done the same.
Dear Justice Department attorneys:
You have sworn an oath to the Constitution, which requires the equal administration of laws and the peaceful transfer of power through popular elections. As members of the bar, you have also taken on the obligation to, among other things, make arguments in court that are grounded in law and fact, refuse to “make a false statement of fact or law to a tribunal or fail to correct a false statement of material fact or law previously made to the tribunal” and, per Justice Department guidelines, keep cognizant that "public service is a public trust, requiring employees to place loyalty to the Constitution, the laws and ethical principles above private gain.” Your professional and constitutional obligations are more than words on the page. Failure to abide by these principles undercuts not merely your personal integrity but also your standing as a member of the bar. Your conduct now will define your personal reputations and future legal careers.
