Bill Barr should recuse himself

I'm sorry but I call them how I see them, Senate Democratic committees pale in comparison with House committees. Too bad we didn't have some House freshmen on the committee that confirmed Bill Barr.

Why no mention of all of Barr's ties to Russia? Barr was legal counsel for Alfa bank in the U.S. Barr was also involved in numerous other Russian ventures.

No wonder Barr is going to try to out the mole who is embedded in Russia.

It just upsets me. I'm sorry but all of these Russian ties that Barr has was not brought up at his confirmation hearing, why not?

3. Disbarring should be a no-brainer. He's already disqualified himself as an attorney.

But this is the Trumpy era. Barr could do anything he wants and never get touched, IMO. We'll see if the DC Bar has an ounce of integrity left after someone makes an ethics complaint about Barr. It likely has already occurred, and it's likely been buried in the utility bills of the DC Bar's head office.

That has to be done by the the bar in the state or states where he's licensed to practice law.
