House Dems Introduce Resolution To Impeach AG Barr

[SaraACarter] House Democrats on Tuesday introduced a resolution to ’investigate and consider’ impeaching Attorney General William Barr. The move comes just a few months after their failed attempt to impeach President Donald Trump.

Congressman Steve Cohen, R-TN
[R?]
brought the measure to the House floor with the support of 35 co-sponsors. The group alleges that "Attorney General Barr has undermined our judicial system and perverted the rule of law."

He added, "In the past few weeks alone, Barr has ordered the attack on peaceful protestors in Lafayette Park, in violation of their constitutional rights, and moved to drop charges against Michael Flynn, the President’s former campaign advisor, despite his guilty pleas. He fired without any explanation the U.S. Attorney in the Southern District of New York who was overseeing investigations into the President’s associates and possibly the President himself."

"The pattern here is unmistakable. Barr obstructs justice by favoring the President’s friends and political allies. He abuses his power by using the Department of Justice to harass, intimidate and attack disfavored Americans and the President’s political opponents. My oath to support and defend the Constitution compels me to confront this corruption. Congress is a co-equal branch of government and we must get to the bottom of this and hold Bill Barr accountable."

Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee Rep. Jim Jordan criticized his colleagues' move saying, "Are you kidding me?", adding "Bill Barr is cleaning up the mess that Obama, Biden, and Comey created!"
Strange, really. Barr with his molasses-like speed (at best) should be considered a friend of the Dems

#2 Cohen's the asswipe who brought that bucket of KFC onto the House floor in one of the cheesiest political prop stunts I've ever seen; a real loser of a Democrat.

Try thorough instead, Clem. When fighting the Deep State, each move must devastate its target. If there is any question whatsoever about the charges and supporting data, the entire Deep State will strike back.
