Congress should put pressure on Barr...

[kentuck]

By sending criminal contempt charges to his DoJ for every person that ignores a subpoena. They could start with Steven Mnuchin if he does not turn over the tax forms on May 6.

Barr would be inclined to not agree with the Congress. He would tend to agree with his Boss, the Executive. However, this could be another contempt of Congress charge or obstruction of Justice charge against AG Barr by refusing the constitutional right of Congress to oversight. It would not be a slamdunk for Trump and Barr. The Courts might not agree with Barr in this situation? The law is on the side of the Congress.

But it would show the White House and the DoJ that Congress is willing to fight to preserve their powers guaranteed by the Constitution. It would also cause AG Barr to think twice before he does the bidding of Trump.

1. The Bar Association should put pressure on Barr

He should be disbarred

2. No court delays- impeach Barr if he refuses to act on obstruction.

5. Yes, they should impeach Barr if he obstructs the Congress.

Even if he is not convicted in the Senate, it sends a very strong message.

3. Recommended.

I think they should put all types of pressure on him. I look forward to his being grilled by congressional committees. It will not be difficult to expose his failures as AG and as a human being.

7. Is he going to testify in closed session?

I would be surprised if it is open session.

8. I'm not sure.

I think that he should do both. Open hearings might be to his benefit, in the sense that there are time limits on questioning by individuals. But with even five minutes, he would be easily exposed. In closed hearings, he could be "cross-examined," and the longer periods would prove difficult for him.

9. Good points.

Thanks H2O Man!

11. Hey!

It kind of looks like things we were questioning about Rod are being reported in the news tonight. I think we talked about this stuff on a couple of threads.

Too many "friends" not enough country first.
