I know you want this, but how, exactly, do you see it getting done?

Impeach Trump.

Impeach Barr. <---Stinky's own suggestion.

Enforce subpoenas.

Make him testify.

Jail them if they ignore a subpoena.

Cite them for Contempt of Congress.






All great ideas . . . . . academically. But in real world, 2019 Washington, DC, what specific actions do you suggest the House do? How about the powerless Democratic Senators?

How?

Exactly, how?

barr is a clean, simple case of the rule of law.
we all saw him commit the crime.
we all know it is a crime.

anyone from the other side w a scrap of conscience can make a case that it has nothing to do w cheato, and do the right thing.
if enough of them decide to take this tidy off ramp from earth 2, imho, cheato will pack his bags.
but even if they dont, we get to hang the rotting corpse of bill barr's legal career around the neck of ever sycophant that supports him.

in the meantime, much dirty laundry is hung in the public square.

i prefer to impeach him than to beat him, but i we have to be ready to do both.
this either leads to cheato's impeachment or the crimes of the whole party laid bare.
either way, there is the fierce urgency of now.

I will help you. None. Not in 230 years of Constitutional history. It won't start now.
