Nearly 2000 former DOJ officials signed onto a letter calling on Barr to resign, saying that his "repeated actions to use the Department as a tool to further President Trump’s personal and political interests have undermined any claim to the deference that courts usually apply to the Department’s decisions about whether or not to prosecute a case".

Mary McCord, who was the acting assistant AG for National Security, was cited more than 25 times in the DOJ's argument for dismissing the charges against Flynn. McCord wrote a NYT oped saying that the DOJ twisted her words. "The report of my interview is no support for Mr. Barr’s dismissal of the Flynn case. It does not suggest that the F.B.I. had no counterintelligence reason for investigating Mr. Flynn. It does not suggest that the F.B.I.’s interview of Mr. Flynn — which led to the false-statements charge — was unlawful or unjustified." She was critical of some of the actions, specifically the FBI not following standard protocol by alerting DOJ officials of their intent to interview WH staff, but she said "the report of my interview does not anywhere suggest that the F.B.I.’s interview of Mr. Flynn was unconstitutional, unlawful or not “tethered” to any legitimate counterintelligence purpose."
