He is now accusing people of "treason", but not in a legal sense? He sounded like Dick Cheney, with the gravelly voice, as he sat in front of his fireplace and answered questions for a CBS interview. I suppose he wanted to defend Donald Trump and himself as soon as possible, after the shocking and contradictory statement by Robert Mueller?
He came into the job with bad intentions. He lobbied for the job. He seemed to have no concerns about whether Russia attacked our election systems? His job was to protect Donald Trump and the Republican Party.
He was willing to lie to Congress and to distort the truth about the Mueller Report to the American people. He has done great damage to the Justice Department in a very short time. He saw no collusion. He saw no obstruction. He saw no attacks upon our institutions. He saw no abuse of power. He saw nothing.
He is unfit for the job he now holds. Pressure should be applied every day to remove him from his position as Attorney General. Rather than go thru an impeachment process, he should resign.

Democrats have to grow some balls and not worry about what McConnel or the Senate GOP will or won;t do. The american people can make their determination as well
3 or 4 months of a very public impeachment inquirey and drag all of Barr's enablers before the committee all pleading the 5th amendment....

(9,291 posts)that we can't see what BS he's selling the American people. I know he's only working on pleasing his boss, but the more he appears on TV, the worst he comes off. What this country needs, another delusional old man.
Tossing his career on the fire for Trump. I guess his family really needed help landing those jobs.

This won't end well for many.
Silver lining; the fixing of the holes in the system and dealing with the evil people who are exploiting them, looking at you at the front of that line MITCH!
Can't even charge them with treason because the strings are held by someone deeply in on it?
The FUBAR is strong in this nation at this time.

(111,052 posts)He agrees with Mueller that a sitting president cannot be indicted but he says that should not keep him from declaring him "guilty" of crimes.
How would it be fair to judge someone as guilty but say he cannot be indicted for it? Mueller was attempting to walk a fine line by simply presenting the evidence and letting the Congress, the only Constitutional authority, make the decision on whether to indict (impeach).
Barr short-circuited the process by declaring Trump innocent of all charges. He is intentionally confusing the issue.
