https://medium.com/housejudiciary/house-judiciary-chairman-announces-actions-to-hold-ag-barr-accountable-33ff75cbef69Washington, D.C. Today, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) announced a series of actions to counter Attorney General William Barrs continued defiance of Congress and improper politicization of the Department of Justice (DOJ). The announcement comes following the Attorney Generals refusal to appear before the House Judiciary Committee, the second time he has failed to do so this Congress.
Chairman Nadler and the Judiciary Committee will take steps to protect the integrity of the Department of Justice, including the following: This week, Chairman Nadler will introduce legislation to slash the budget of the Attorney Generals personal office at DOJ by $50 million.
In the coming weeks, the Committee will hear testimony from DOJ whistleblowers and former Department officials. These individuals are prepared to describe specific incidents of misconduct, as well as the unprecedented politicization of the Department of Justice under President Trump and Attorney General Barr.
Chairman Nadler and other members of the Committee will file an amicus brief in the case of United States v. Michael Flynn in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. The Flynn case is one of many cases in which Attorney General Barr has improperly interfered for the benefit of President Trump and his political allies.

Claim everything you can at a news conference.
Send marshals to deliver subpoenas and threaten to drag his fat a$$ to jail.
Send his fat a$$ to jail.
Hold hearings with ghost witnesses that refuse to show up - I'm sure you can find media that would gladly cover the event.

Seems like he's more of an "order and law" president. If he gives an order, he thinks that makes it law.
