Multiple Members of Congress Send a Letter to AG Barr Demanding His Resignation

[Townhall] Multiple members of Congress on Friday sent a letter to Attorney General William Barr demanding that he and and United States Attorney John Durham resign. The six members of Congress claim the two men "inappropriately interfered in independent Department of Justice (DOJ) investigations and intentionally used your positions to mislead the American public in defense of President Donald J. Trump."

Their argument focuses solely on the fact that Barr "handpicked" Durham to investigate the origins of the Russia probe. The goal of Durham's investigation is to determine whether or not the probe was "lawful and appropriate."

According to these members, Barr's previous claims that the Trump campaign was spied upon is an "unfounded assertion" and was "inappropriate" because Inspector General Michael Horowitz was also completing his investigation.

"In the report released on on Monday December 9, the OIG concluded that the Justice Department acted within its jurisdiction initiating an investigation and that there was sufficient factual evidence to investigate the Trump campaign," the leader said.

The group said Barr pushed "conspiracy theories" during an interview that took place on Tuesday, December 10 by suggesting that "the FBI under the Obama administration was a greater threat to our democracy than Russia."

#1 Notice if you will, the failure to use the term bipartisan? Apparently AG Barr is doing his job.

#2 At the end, the very end of the article:
The letter was signed by Reps. Hank Johnson Jr. (D-GA), Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), William Lacy Clay (D-MO), Jared Huffman (D-CA), and Jan Schakowsky (D-IL).
Did the article mention it whining by the Opposition at any point? No, they repeatedly used the misleading construction: "members of Congress". *Spit!*

#9 Actually your Eric Holder (circa Obama) was held in contempt of Congress, didn't resign.

Oh, and ask for a pony too.

#12 Barr should send a response letter asking for their resignations.

#13 A good response would be to open up investigations on all these ass clowns.

#14 I hope cases are opened on all of them... BTW somewhere in their minds they should wrap around who was one of Trump's mentors and what it implies for them.

Wow. That's a 100 IQ points right there.

#16 Isn't it interesting that the Rantburg has another article today* about Soros being investigated by AG Barr. Coincidence, perhaps or perhaps not.

On a good day, with the wind in the right direction.

#18 Barr should respond by announcing a full, bipartisan investigation of EVERY member of congress of both parties. And while announcing it, seize all records so they can't 'wipe them with a cloth'.

#19 He must be right over their nest of corruption.

What are they worried he'll find?

#21 #13, DV nails it. Odds are that Barr wouldn't have to dig very deep before he found criminal offenses by all of them.
