It is time to remove Bill Barr from his position. He is too corrupt for the position of AG!

Rick Wilson buries Bill Barr’s ‘dangerous’ testimony: He’s dedicating himself ‘to the service of evil’

Longtime Republican strategist Rick Wilson has written a scathing column in The Daily Beast ripping apart Attorney General Bill Barr for his Senate testimony where he said that the Trump campaign had been “spied” upon without citing any evidence to back up his claim.

Wilson takes Barr to task for transforming from a civil servant into a stooge for an authoritarian president — or as Wilson puts it, Barr has joined a long list of historical figures who began as “competent people” before being “given over to the service of evil.”

1. And how do you propose to do that?

[appal_jack]

9. Impeachment

Impeachment is well within Congress' powers and in fact duties when someone as criminal as Barr heads an agency as important as DOJ.

12. And in what universe are there enough votes to remove him?

[drray23]

19. Impeachment does not remove anybody.

You also need conviction by the Senate. I doubt the repubs would vote to convict him after they just confirmed him

[appal_jack]

22. You both are missing the point.

Barr kept the Mueller report confidential and put-out his own "summary" (not) in order to frame the narrative. Why are Democrats waiting for their opponents to define the issues?

Barr has obstructed justice. Barr has served as personal lawyer to Criminal Trump, being paid with our tax dollars. Democrats could bring charges, hold weeks of hearings, and eviscerate Barr and everything he has touched. Yet, instead, we jump straight to Republican opposition, and again let them frame the debate.

I'll tell you, a well run impeachment hearing against Barr at this stage could and should make him so radioactive that Trump tries to fire him in the next step of the ongoing coverup.

2. I agree

He's sided with Putin and trump, and against the rule of law altogether, and protecting the criminals.He should be behind Barrs. A corrupt AG has no place in OUR government.

3. How would you like to do that?

[dalton99a]

4. A thoroughly corrupt, soulless, vile excuse for a human

like the rest of them

[ananda]

5. Agree! Also ..

.. this can be said of nearly every Reep official associated
with MF45 !!!

[A DAY IN THE LIFE]

6. Being a suck-up is not illegal

What are the specific laws he violated? Yes the AG is supposed to be independent, but where is the law that says it has to be that way? Being evil or serving evil is not illegal. What is the physical evidence of any wrong doing?

[Scarsdale]

17. Everyone knew he is a gop stooge.

Why was he confirmed? Seems like a lifeless robot.

[FiveGoodMen]

21. "Being evil or serving evil is not illegal"

Well, then we can all go home.

Case closed.

(What if destroying human civilization is not specifically illegal? Should we just lie back and let it happen?)

[blm]

7. I've been posting that we MUST use the word CORRUPT in reference to Barr.

His actions and words are proving he is corrupt.

[sweetapogee]

8. ok not a good player

but for exactly what offense has that he committed that we remove him?

[2naSalit]

10. That's an understatement!

[MineralMan]

11. Sure. OK. How many Republican votes in the Senate would there be

for his removal following impeachment by the House? Let us know how many you think there are.

[DirtEdonE]

13. Nothing ventured nothing gained

Turn the tables. The repubicans would have this guy charged and impeached in about 24 hours whether they had the votes in the Senate or not - just to send the message and get the photos and videos of them looking solemn, carrying their brief cases full of evidence like the did when they impeached President Clinton, knowing it wouldn't make it through the Senate.

It's about controlling the news cycle and the dialogue. "We don't have the votes" is the slogan of losers. repubicans don't give a damn about votes, the rule of law or anything else. They get their images and their message out there in the nastiest way possible. Time to fight fire with fire. Or we could just sit on our hands and wait until we have the votes like the repubicans - not.

[MineralMan]

14. That's not always true. Failed ventures often set things back irretrievably.

The impeachment of Bill Clinton cost the Republicans their majority in the House, because of the backlash. While it might feel good, temporarily, if the House impeached Barr, he would not be removed by the Senate, and would retain his position, assuming Trump didn't fire him on a whim.

There's an ever greater risk in impeaching Trump and failing to remove him. It's easy to light a match, but not always so easy to get a fire going in the fireplace. Any impeachment proceeding would run right into the 2020 campaign season. Such things don't happen quickly, by any means.

I leave such decisions to our House majority. If they think it's a bad idea to proceed with an impeachment, I'll rely on their experience and better knowledge of what the political effect would be.

[DirtEdonE]

15. The repubicans may have had a temporary set back from the Clinton impeachment

But just look at them now. They were obviously not worried about a temporary set back or backlash. It's about setting a long term agenda and sticking with it. This makes them look strong even when they are wrong.

I'm sick and tired of hearing we don't have the votes or we'd better be careful or it might backfire. New Jersey, for example, has a Democratic majority in both houses and we have the governor's office yet we somehow still don't have the votes to pass several of our own Democratic governor's initiatives! This makes us look weak even when we are right.

It's time to stop counter-punching and go on the attack on all fronts with all weapons at our disposal. This is a fight for our nation's future. Will we be a democracy or a dictatorship? While we're worrying about having enough votes they're setting up one party rule. By the time we decide to finally fight back, it'll be too late.

Impeachment is off the table won't cut it this time.

[MineralMan]

18. What is your experience in long-range effects of political action?

Give us some clues about why we should take your advice. Thanks.

[DirtEdonE]

20. My experience is of little consequence

But FYI I've been watching this ridiculous show since about Eisenhower and the long range effects of allowing repubicans to write, enforce and adjudicate the laws is apparent in the reagan, bushx2 and now trump fiasco.

They win because they're not afraid to take on short term divisive positions. They just keep kicking the can down the road and it's worked since reagan. While we're wasting our time looking for just the right strategies.

And losing.

My experience in long range effects. pfttt.

I had professors who used that tactic. It didn't work then either. Take my advice or don't. Get back to me in 2020 when the results are in and we're still looking for the right message.

[notdarkyet]

16. I agree.

[appal_jack]

23. Thank you! My full agreement posted upthread. nt
