He would only use the money to fuck us over anyway so take it all.

I don't really know if this can be done, but Katyal should and since he's recommending this action, think Dems should 100% do it if Barr refuses to honor a subpoena, and that's pretty much a given. He can't let the truth get out without exposing the absolute traitorousness of himself, drumpf and the entire party.
