How about we impeach Barr?

1) He's clearly helping Trump break the law.
2) He's likely to get less support from Republicans and Trumpers (although he'll get a lot)
3) It would bring his malfeasance out into the open where the general public will see it
4) It would create some consequences for his behavior, even if he isn't removed.
5) It would start talk about impeachment.

I don't see any down side to doing it, and as we always say, Dems can chew gum and walk at the same time.

And props to you for adding the o to subpoenas.

If everybody is going after Barr, then who's left to go after Chump? Without a doubt Chump would love to see it happen, so he can turn his focus on his 99 other problems.

That would leave plenty of others to go after Trump.

Really, he's a lying, nation killing, bribed, russian repug and deserves to be impeached already, but if he goes even one step further, it will be an absolute MUST!!

My thoughts exactly. A good practice run for House. Barr is going to keep covering for IQ45, so get rid of him. Disable him.

for Obstruction of Justice. It's already out in the open. Let him defend himself from behind bars.
