The Department of Justice has sued Yale University for race and national origin discrimination in undergraduate admissions. The DOJ alleges that Yale’s discrimination imposes undue and unlawful penalties on racially-disfavored applicants, in particular most Asian and White applicants.
According to the complaint, Yale engages in racial balancing by, among other things, keeping the annual percentage of African-American admitted applicants to within one percentage point of the previous year’s admitted class as reflected in U.S. Department of Education data. The complaint alleges similar racial balancing with regard to Asian-American applicants.

But still no Epstein indictments of Bill, Hillary or any of the hundreds who partook in children, and no indictments in the Russia coup. Guess what Mr Barr, I'm not distracted by this shiny thing.

Thank you, #2. My sentiments exactly. While I do believe this is a worthy cause, it is not an existential threat to the country. Conspiring to unseat a duly elected President, in my opinion, should be the highest priority of the Justice Department. The democrat party was attempting to commit sedition. Can we please get on with it or are we watching the clock being run out with the hope that democrats regain power? Too harsh? Prove me wrong. Clearly, a rolling coup, which is still in motion by the way, appears to be an unworthy undertaking if after years of investigation, you still are not prepared to issue a report or indictments. The country deserves better than that. We also do not believe the results would be too political to release at this time. What consideration did the conspirators have for this President and what about the nullifying of the votes of millions of Americans? Justice should not be withheld because the truth might harm the democrat party. The American people should know what they have done and are capable of doing before they consider giving them power to do something similar again.

This is just wrong! Doesn't the DOJ understand that Yale is a historic, hallowed institution? It is where Slick Willie and the Pigwoman first hooked up.

Suing Yale is great fun, but wouldn't it be more effective to sue a major public university for using public funds to slosh reverse racial prejudice, unscientific gender garbage and doctored left-wing ideology all over impressionable kids?

While their at it, they should shut the place down and turn it into Section 8 housing. After all, the place was founded and named for a slave trader. Isn’t that the most egregious sin on the left’s list these days?
But it will never happen because Yale is woke. Or at least they pretend to be.

Yale apparently needs a large batch of students every year for newly-minted professors to practice on. I would bet we aren't getting too many physics majors out of the affirmative action inductees.

IMO, since I am not an attorney, there were quite a few cases ahead of Yale. Maybe DOJ goes after the low hanging fruit first. And it isn't nearly as easy for a huge brink and mortar defendant to go into hiding.

The U.S. Supreme Court allowed Harvard University to discriminate against Asians for diversity. Asians must attain higher test scores than all other races. Their intelligence is used against them. I seem to recall (?) Asians have 200 points deducted at the start.

I've been very critical of Barr. But this has occurred to me that might possibly explain what looks like his utter failure: The criminality surrounding the coup attempt no doubt extends all the way up to Obama and Hillary. But if Obama were indicted, the country would explode in rioting that would dwarf what we are seeing now. As well, Trump would lose a big chunk of the black vote that he might otherwise carry.
These are not reasons to ignore the law-- not at all-- but if Obama and Hillary were indicted and Trump lost the election, that would be the end of their prosecution. Biden and Harris would sweep the whole thing away, dismissed as a partisan witch hunt.
So, you see the choice? Act now, and deal with riots and loss of black voter support-- for no gain at all if Trump loses the election. However, if he wins, the AG in Trump's second term can proceed, in the knowledge that all the miscreants, every one of them including Obama and Clinton, can face prison time and/or other serious legal consequences.
In other words, everything depends on Trump's re-election. Therefore, wait until he is re-elected.

AG Barr, while I appreciate the diligence, could we see the Spygate indictments first, please.

The government helped create this mess which always seems the case now. They acted as rulers not elected representatives, telling us who or what we could do with our lives. Then, in no particular order, the tort lawyers went to work on raking in the dollars to be made off the typically job politicians do in making law, of course their favorites got their chuck of federal dollars. Then there were the busy little bureaucrats with their paperwork demanded a quota system and empire building, the race bait-ers made their bundles, lobbyists, the school unions got into the act, the educational institutions saw the federal dollars and went crazy after the money instead of educating, and on and on it goes. I agree that at this point DOJ needs to act but there must be a change in thinking if we are to right the ship, starting with Congress. When PT started wiping out all the regulations the ship immediately responded. I think the answer lies therein.

As frustrating as it is to being kept waiting, I believe that #11's scenario is the way to go. Don't disturb the waters any more until Donald Trump is officially in for the next four years. People who vote and live their lives based on skin color are far more numerous than we would like. We have a tidal wave building, get out the surfboard and enjoy November 4th.

In CA on the ballot is Prop 16 to make this discrimination legal. A few years go we voted to make it illegal, since then the state government and mostly the schools like the UC system have been breaking the law.

Sometimes I think a grander plan is working..... the china hoax has kept students ... even the "special ones"... behind masks and imprisoned in their dormitories....even Yale knows a certain number must be academically astute in order for a high ranking among colleges and universities.....who wants Yale if it's a mediocre college?

Just made my mind up. Any form that asks for race and ethnicity is racist. I will never respond again. If there was a scientific reason for this information the establishment just ruined it. It includes a census. I still believe a question about citizenship is valid though.

#17, for years I’ve checked “other” and written in “human”.

Rush, with the president co-hosting, just said that Barr told "leading Republicans" that Durham's report will not be released before the election. Rush and the president are incensed! I have seldom heard Rush so angry. The president is clearly disappointed in Barr-- he has used that word repeatedly. He is so shocked at the story that he said he doesn't believe it and will need to double check.
Maybe, as I speculated in my earlier post, Barr is playing this the way he thinks will be most effective. Or, maybe he is just a swamp creature.

As part of the settlement Yale must change its name from the slave trader to one of our greatest POTUS.
Trump!

A weaker man would have been driven to depression, would have been destroyed by the false accusations, the hope and expectation of justice and then the absence of it, while new false narratives and scenarios were developed and created out of whole cloth by Democrats in and out of office, and used to whip and berate and torment the man and his family, all of them.
And what has it done to us? to the Citizens, who are counting on perpetrators of the crimes against Donald Trump and vicariously on us as voters and supporters, being brought out into daylight, exposed to the scythe of justice. We hear all the time that justice delayed is justice denied. And this is how we feel: justice has been denied.
For us who love our Constitutional Republic, this seemingly endless period of time of one false charge piled upon another without legal resolution, the adversaries just shrugging their shoulders and going on to the next created malfeasance, leaves a bitter taste in our mouths. We --i suspect a lot of us-- are becoming jaded and disappointed when again we're told that men of justice and honor have taken up the banner, yet again, their high-minded words about the need to uphold and defend the law ring hollow, because we HAVE NOT SEEN IT. We see Law shaken from her pedestal across the country and we are left dispirited.
It's all connected. Disrespect for Law and Order is a contagion, it oozes out from pustules at the heart of our Government up from the rotting deep state and the perverse and corrupt hearts of political adversaries.
