Wow.

She's amazing in this press conference.

Editing to add that news sources say Pelosi told a closed-door meeting today that the lying by Barr she's referring to was his lie to Charlie Crist:

1. She's being questioned about this now, and she's reaffirming it.

[beachbum bob]

2. She holds the power to pass articles of impeachment against Barr, it's her duty

[gratuitous]

3. Say it once. Say it again. Keep saying it.

It's a simple, direct, and absolutely true message. Lying to Congress is a crime. AG Barr lied to Congress. Barr has committed a crime.

4. She should also include

That Trump instructed others to lie to Congress, and that it would make perfect sense that Trump has instructed AG Barr to lie to Congress. This is the opening for impeachment of both to begin. Barr and Trump should be given the "official opportunity" to resign and then commence with impeachment after a press conference telling the American people this is the only option left to deal with a corrupt administration and an enabling GOP.

5. OK, good for you Nancy...

Now arrest him already for Contempt of Congress...let the Sergeant at Arms drag him out of the DOJ in handcuffs!
Representatives and Senators have sworn an oath to protect the Constitution.
They need to arrest Barr, just like John Mitchell was arrested in the Watergate days.
What are they waiting for???
A chicken etc. that might be funny, but it means nothing.
Take your oath seriously, and ACT!!
Thank you! Otherwise you are delivering all of us to Dear Leader : (

6. I've edited the OP to include the news since the press conference that Pelosi told Dems at a closed-

door meeting earlier that the lie she considers a crime was Barr's lie to Charlie Crist.

8. Barr must have real consequences

Or they'll just get much worse with disregard for everything . The judicial branch watching what him and trump are doing now much be as pissed at them as the American people are now. Their acting as though they are above the rule of law is a national disgrace, and another example of how corrupt these people really are.

9. But it has to become more than just complaining about it.
