You can't make this shit up. Trump issued an executive order directing attorney general Barr to create a national commission on law enforcement under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA). A federal judge just ruled that Barr and the law enforcement commission repeatedly violated FACA law.
Federal judge John Bates just ruled he was “hard pressed to think of a starker example of non-compliance with FACA’s fair balance requirement than a commission charged with examining broad issues of policing in today’s America that is composed entirely of past and present law enforcement officials.” Bates was appointed to the bench by President George W. Bush. He also found several other ways in which Barr and the commission on law enforcement broke the law.
Regarding our chief law enforcement officer AG Barr the judge wrote "that
Attorney General William P. Barr has violated FACA by failing to select a designated federal officer for the Commission, as required by 5 U.S.C. app. 2
§ 10(e) and 41 C.F.R. § 102-3.120, and by failing to ensure the Commission’s membership is fairly balanced in terms of the points of view represented and the functions to be performed, as required by 5 U.S.C. app. 2 § 5(b)(2)"
They were supposed to issue a report but
the ACLU intervened with a lawsuit leading to the decision. The judge ruled they could only issue the report if they add the following disclaimer at the beginning.
"Although the Commission which prepared this report was subject to the Federal Advisory Committee Act, a United States District Court judge has found that the Department of Justice and the Commission’s officers violated FACA in forming and operating the Commission. In particular, the DOJ and the Commission did not comply with FACA’s requirements to ensure the Commission’s membership is fairly balanced in terms of the points of view represented, file a charter, select a designated federal officer, or provide timely notice of meetings in the Federal Register. For additional detail, the remedial order of the United States District Court that issued this decision is attached to the Commission’s Report."
This look like Trump and Barr set up a federally funded propaganda machine to develop a pro-Trump law enforcement report prior to the election and got bagged by the ACLU.
