Just how many things can he steal from to get his wall built?

Can he take money from pretty much everything?

Can he do things just to show off his power like demand a countywide curfew?

Will it be easier to take away people's land?

What freedoms will he be allowed to take away?

Just how long can he hold this state of emergency?

Can he do things like pushing the voting back?

What other crappy things can he do to make the peoples lives miserable?

Barr could argue the points of law, but doesn’t make any decisions.

Congress starts the impeachment process and the Senate is the jury

If Barr or drumpf fired Mueller, The House would just hire and fund him tomorrow and he would keep right on going. Drumpf has not fired Mueller because it would be a waste of time and only mane drumpf look worse.
