Ref: Bill Barr - Are we now in a constitutional crisis? [View all]

Bill Barr has already deliberately misled the public about the contents of the Mueller Report, in order to serve the interests of Donald Trump.

He also obviously supports the lack of co-operation by Trump into ongoing investigations.

Now he is weaponizing law enforcement agencies as a diversion and to feed the Trump narrative. On Trump's orders, he will try to show that the entire Russia investigation was a hoax, and Hillary Clinton should have been prosecuted, but wasn't because Comey and others wanted her to win the election.

Barr's own words and actions show that he is not prepared to protect the constitutional rights of lawmakers to provide oversight. He is only interested in serving the needs of the president.

It is clear that the Attorney General is now working, not for America, as he is supposed to, but for Donald Trump.

Are we now in a constitutional crisis?

What can be done about it?

Should Barr be impeached?

What realistically will happen to Barr?

And lastly, is Barr the most deplorable human being to ever be appointed Attorney General?
