(14,764 posts)Either he resigns, trump fires him, or he gets impeached.
The only other option is death (hopefully from natural causes).
None of the first three are likely, even after disbarment, which also isn't likely.

(21,487 posts)an attorney general needs to be a licensed attorney. But if there is no law that requires the AG to be licensed, then I am sure Barr and Trump would ignore any state disbarment. I don't know of any such law. Do you?

(3,363 posts)So we're going to have a crime syndicate running the country solely for personal gain for the next year, and our only hope of stopping it is an election that's already being rigged against us.
Yeah, that doesn't give me any faith in the survival of America. I really better work hard to get out of this country soon.

(31,261 posts)Of course people that want to bail don't seem to be up for that fight. So they can leave while the rest of us fight for our democracy. This country has been responsible for some bad things, but it also has done a large amount of good also, to me the good is worth fighting for by putting my head down and fighting as hard as possible through Election Day.

(51,609 posts)by the head of some PAC he was involved with, not to mess around with Hydes when Lev asked about him since he was always a drunk dude all the time. He was told not to mess with Hyde since he is involved in stuff with Pence's brother.
I bookmarked Pence-Russia stuff two years ago and I remember that Pence's brother(s) are involved with Russia and they have businesses there. His other brither is a congressman. Read this...

(18,770 posts)The President: I would like you to do us a favor though because our country has been through a lot and Ukraine knows a lot about it. I would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation in Ukraine, they say Crowdstrike I guess you have one of your wealthy people The server, they say Ukraine has it. There are a lot of things that went on, the whole situation. I think youre surrounding yourself with some of the same people. I would like to have the Attorney General call you or your people and I would like you to get to the bottom of it. As you saw yesterday, that whole nonsense ended with a very poor performance by a man named Robert Mueller, an incompetent performance, but they say a lot of it started with Ukraine. Whatever you can do its very important that you do it if thats possible.

Crooks in Government are capable of anything. They called her a drunk, etc. do you honestly think Trump crooks will not do anything to cover their tracks? They have Putin/ Russian help.

Glenn Kirschner ✔ @glennkirschner2
To be clear, Trumps instruction to Zelensky that he should get in touch with Bill Barr about the Biden investigation IS CORROBORATION of Levs claim that Barr was in the conspiratorial loop.
Glenn Kirschner ✔ @glennkirschner2
Parnas just accused Bill Barr of criminal complicity in the Zelensky bribery. Yet Barr is STILL overseeing the SDNY prosecution of Parnas. That cant continue! The conflict of interest is staggering! The DOJs credibility & legitimacy is on life-support. This travesty must end!
10:30 PM - Jan 15, 2020
I've already read spin that Parnas' revelation of Barr's involvement was weak and "hearsay"... but, as Glenn points out, Trump already implicated him in the August phone call.
