The impeachment inquiry of Attorney General Barr should focus on a similar question: whether Barr abused the powers of his office by engaging in a course of conduct that was seriously incompatible with our system of constitutional government. At a minimum, that inquiry should consider whether Barr:
Corruptly subverted the Special Counsel investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election and of President Trump for obstruction of justice;
Interfered with the lawful functions of the Department of Justice by overturning the actions of career prosecutors in the cases of Roger Stone Jr. and Michael Flynn and by firing United States Attorney Geoffrey Berman;
Obstructed lawful investigations of the United States House of Representatives; and
Abused and exceeded the powers of the Attorney General to violate the First and Fourth Amendment rights of American citizens.

If we couldn't successfully conclude Dummy's impeachment with conviction what possible chance do you see doing it with Barr. But there's another way. We should be pushing every high powered NYC or DC lawyer susceptible to our way of thinking to file Professional Ethics violation charges against Barr with the NY or DC Bar. Much easier to get him disbarred which, I believe would make it impossible for him to continue as AG.

(14,732 posts)6. I honestly don't know. Perhaps because he's a member of
the "Old Boys Club". I think it's a crime that lawyers don't pursue disbarment against him. There's plenty of material to make it stick and I believe it would be a mortal blow to him, at least as AG
