True or False: If AG Barr says obstruction is not a crime, then that is the final word?

[kentuck]

The Attorney General is the final arbiter when a Special Counsel turns over the results of his investigation to him?

Even if the Special Counsel does not say that there was no obstruction of justice by Donald J Trump?

How much authority does the Attorney General have in making the final decision on whether or not there is obstruction of justice?

Even if there is over-whelming evidence of obstruction of justice, the Attorney General cannot be questioned?

1. That is the republican dictatorships plan...

They seek checkmate....

2. This is a question of impeachment, exclusive to the House

No one in the Executive or Judicial branch matters. It is up to the House to determine impeachment and the Senate to convict. No one else is involved, at all.

This is why Congress needs to see all the evidence.

3. Depends if Republicans in the Senate agree or not.

Without Republicans supporting the rule of law, it doesn't exist.

4. "There is no evidence against Trump, and I can't show it to you because

you might think it's evidence against him. So now we are done here"

5. It is up to the house to determine if an offense is impeachable. It does not need to be a crime.

That's why it's called high crimes and misdemeanors. The senate tries the case. However, the senate is the one that makes up the rules in a trial, thus most likely will be taking a vote privately and no impeachment.

6. Saying Obstuction isn't a crime would be false on it face...

Saying Obstruction didn't happen is vastly different...or that there isn't a case for it..

"How much authority does the Attorney General have...." the AG has wide latitude to determine that. He has a gazilion lawyers to rely on. Many of them DoJ lifers. None have come out to contradict him

[kentuck]

7. But, doesn't Barr say that a President cannot commit obstruction?

He actually believes that.

[AncientGeezer]

8. As a private citizen....Not as AG.

Again...vastly different deals

[kentuck]

9. Didn't he say as much in his 19-page memo?

And that was why he was nominated?

[AncientGeezer]

10. I think you are conflating 'memos"

I said... as a Private citizen and as AG are vastly different
You know that also

[kentuck]

11. He was a private citizen when he sent the memo?

Which "memo" are you referring? The 4-page conclusion?
