To say that the Senate should have convicted him the first time and make them look bad for not doing so.

whether they want to or not.

People need to remember, Mitch McConnell has taken help from our enemy, so have many republicans. Moscow Mitch would affirm the traitors words to interfere in the election.

Our lives mean NOTHING to them, any of them...I mean nothing, too.

9. If Barr doesnt go to prison no American ever should again regardless of the crime.

Sure the traitor too, but he may get pardoned or the political will of putting him where he belongs may not be there, who knows.

But Barr has committed felonies everyday, by advocating for the traitor and against America.

I dont know what the crimes would be to file against him, but someone here must.

Should work...for starters. He also lied to Congress and on and on. If I was him I'd start worrying last night.

having the GOP under a serious impeachment cloud during the election doesn't appear to me to have much downside. And wouldn't ignoring such high crimes be a dereliction of duty for Dems?

makes sense to me.

"Democrats in the House need to start hearings on Bolton's claims.

A book is not a formal record of testimony under oath. Bolton has no reason not to testify now. The point of the hearings would not be to impeach but rather to get Trump’s misdeeds in the public record. Remember that Republicans used an even smaller issue of Benghazi to harass Hillary Clinton for months. Hillary had done nothing wrong; Trump has. Public hearings are needed to evaluate damage to our national security and promises Trump has made to get world leaders to help him get re-elected."
