So I'm not sure what rules apply, if the DC Government has any authority over the Feds.

Barr must think they don't.

13. DC is a carved-out entity with no Senators. I don't know that they even have a vote in the House.

Trump is too stupid to get it, so he just thinks he can act like one and it's a done deal. Barr is the one with the deep desire to make himself ruler of the new Fourth Reich.

20. It's very difficult to get rid of Trump, but there has to be an easier way to get rid of Barr.

Seriously, that guy has to go. He's like the Mrs. Blaalock to Trump's Damien.

He claims to believe in a religion that believes in Hell for liars and the corrupt. May he go there.
