Uh oh! In Barr’s Senate questionnaire, he writes: “In the event of a potential conflict of interest, I will consult with the appropriate Department of Justice ethics officials and act consistent with governing regulations.” What he does NOT say is “and follow their guidance.” /1

We could be headed for a repeat of Whitaker ignoring the ethics officials. Why is ethics so hard for the Trump administration? Tone from the top, that’s why. /2

Lest you think I'm reading into this, here‘s what Jeff Sessions wrote: "I will seek and follow the advice of the Department of Justice's designated agency ethics official if confronted with a conflict of interest in the performance of my duties." And he got fired for doing that!

In her questionnaire, Loretta Lynch wrote: “In the event of a potential conflict of interest, I will consult with ethics officials in the Department of Justice.” She did not include Barr’s caveat about what the regulations really mean.

“Of course,” Elijah Cummings, chairman of House Oversight, said when I asked him if Mueller team cleared Michael Cohen to testify before his panel. “They cleared it.”
