One small detail to remember...

[kentuck]

The "whistleblower" talked with the Intelligence Community IG and the IG thought it was "urgent" and that the NDI and the House Intel Committee should be informed. The NDI incorrectly took the information to the Bill Barr Justice Dept. AG Barr's intent was to bury the whistleblower report but the IG took it upon himself to inform the Intel Committee.

Otherwise, we may not have known any of this information.

5. SMALL DETAIL?

If that's what you call "small" I wonder what you would call large. Or YUGE. (Just joking, of course, and thanks for the important reminder. Put's this in perspective!)

9. Barr is likewise guilty of 1. Abuse of power; 2. Obstruction of Congress

10. Agree.

It's a corrupt gang.

11. his comeuppance may have to wait ...

I don't think it's likely that Barr will be impeached, but he needs a thorough investigation to see if criminal charges need to be brought against him. What he did with the Mueller report might not rise to the level of obstruction of justice. Needs a non-partisan investigator and prosecutor.
