If the House decides not to impeach ( They make the call and i will agree) BUT then

Just how are we going to stop this maniac from further destroying our judicial system ? Also what can be done about his emergency declarations? He can really fuck up this country in 2 years! I hope we at least hold hearings and use subpoena power to the MAX! When the house starts using it's FULL power, i believe we will ALL feel better.

We must start impeachment hearings for the public to see as well as investigations by all the committees. It has to be on TV too, just like Watergate.

since he spoke about it last night. I support that 100%. Barr is corrupt and must be removed before he does any more harm.

Seems to me that straw man Barr first would get bogged down really fast—might not even be front page news by next week—meanwhile, King Addleall will pull us even further down the toilet to change the subject. Will it be war? Indictments of Secretary Clinton or other Democratic leaders? He’s already threatening Americans who don’t support him with violence.

Ideally, they’d all sit in the dock at the same time at a very Special Tribunal.

How will they react to our subpoenas? Won't know until first one is filed, so your guess is as good as mine! STALL STALL i'm sure.

Barr said that the subpoena from Nadler was premature. Barr offered another watered down Mueller report to selective members of Congress.

Barr is stalling, Republicans will fight turning over documents and will fight subpoenas in the courts until it gets close to the election and then the election will be used an excuse to not cooperate.

The only way to get the juicy grand jury testimony is to impeach, I guarantee that Barr is not going to release it.

The election is getting closer, Dems better hurry, debates are 6 weeks away.

But the Senate will never convict trump or even Barr.

Why are so many on DU pretending we can remove him from office?

We only remove him in 2020. There is no other way.

but that does not mean he should not be impeached in the House. To not do so may be more damaging to our democracy.

And as more comes out and public opinions change I may come to agree.

But I think Impeachment now increases his chances of re-election. If for no other reason it will remove all the policy changes we want make from news reports. Policies that won us the house in 18.

If we make 20 just about Trump we may well lose.

First of all, Barr and Trump aren't going to play defense. Barr is going to stone wall turning over the complete Mueller report, the grand jury testimony is where the juicy information is. I don't think Barr will turn over that information unless Democrats impeach. Barr will stall and then claim he can't interfere with the upcoming election.

Secondly, Barr said he was going to investigate the FBI and "Democrats" who led a witch hunt against Donald Trump. Guess what that means? By Democrats he means Hillary Clinton, here we go again investigating Hillary. Trump and Barr are going to put Hillary on the 2020 ballot.

Barr stated that he would release grand jury testimony if Democrats moved to impeach. We need to take him up on that promise.

Put Maxine Waters in charge of impeachment and give her 12 freshmen Congresspersons on her Committee.

Drastic times call for drastic measures.
